Pros and cons of Tokyo Rail Map Lite app for iPhone and iPad

Tokyo Rail Map Lite app good for

This is a great App for foreigners trying to cope with local transportation in Tokyo. Routes are found nicely. It finds the user based on GPS information only and thus no internet and resulting roaming fees are necessary. I wish, there would be similar apps for other towns in the world.
Super, easy to use, complet, frère wifi in Tokyo Boeing rare, its à must havé Jacques Lanctot, Canada
And I welcome more features, of course, route highlighting when choosing source and destination is a truly needed feature. I hope you can extend it to cover Greater Tokyo lines as well. And making A and B points possible. But I can only imagine what a huge project my wish can be! Good luck!

Some bad moments

After looking through the other Apps, I finally found this one. I could not ask for more. Toggle-able Japanese characters/names, landscape mode without advertising for a larger view, searching by metro line... Includes JR, Perfect!!
Nice from what Ive seen but have yet to keep it up for more than a minute. Crashes when loading adds.
Great app for navigating Tokyo subway system. I could not have done it with out you
Very useful. Would be perfect with a route finder but otherwise an excellent product.
Would be even better if it told you how to get from A to B, but its still good to have.
This app has made navigating Tokyo a breeze! Im exploring the city on my own and have full confidence thanks to this app. I just refer to it in my hotel, write down which lines to take and stops to get off at and off I go!
