Pros and cons of Japan Transit Planner app for iPhone and iPad

Japan Transit Planner app good for

This is one of the best (if not the best) train route calculators currently offered. In the latest upgrade searching for station names has improved immensely. I like the addition of also listing the station name in Japanese characters, its very helpful. Another wonderful feature that sets this app apart is that it lists the platform number... when youre in a hurry this is extremely useful.

Ive been meaning to write a review for a while, but just always slipped my mind. Ive been using this app for almost 4 years now, but its the most useful and easy-to-understand app I own. Japans transit has always been complicated (for me) and I have gotten lost more times than I would like to admit. After getting this app, I feel so lost without it. Its so simple, and since I use it so much, it has paid for itself pretty much. I highly recommend this app to English speakers coming to Japan for an extended amount of time, or numerous times either for work or leisure). Thanks for reading!

The latest update addressed the issues i had with the app thanks!!!

Some bad moments

Doesnt give a good listing of time table..closest time..etc! And the calendar date is wrong..comes up with a holiday on a regular day!

I appreciate the look and function of many new updates in the latest version, however, I relied on the timetable function to a specific place for work every day. Now I can only view when the train departs, and I cant choose my destination, making it difficult for me to know if that train will stop there and when it will arrive. Please bring back the functionality of the timetable. I used to recommend this app to everyone but now it lacks such an important feature with the update. 5 stars if the feature is returned.

I wanted to know my departure and ARRIVAL to a destination. So please bring it back. Thanks

The usage date of this app goes until March 31st. Thats ridiculous, totally useless now

Have to agree with previous rating. Website is better and free. This app has needs some serious work before its worth its price. Additionally, it only works in landscape mode?!? Horrible for one-handed use.

This is way too expensive for what it does. The Jorudan website, which is free, actually does more, in that you can pick a route based on an arrival time. With the app you can only select a departure time. [Edited to add: I see now that the app allows you to pick a route based on arrival time, first train, or last train. So 2.1 stars instead of 2] You can choose stopover stations, but not how long you want to stop over, so that feature is pretty useless. The app does have timetables, which is nice, except they only show departure times, not arrivals, so again not so useful. The routings are not linked to timetables, and vice versa. You cant select "train only", or "Shinkansen only", or ask for the next later routing, or any other such things I hoped would be on here since theyre charging so much for it. It does what it does fine, but the website is free and does more.
