Edit: Features that used to be free like viewing intermediary stops on routes are now behind a VERY expensive subscription. The app is useful, but it's a bad change. Original: This app is pretty much a must-have if you're planning on taking the train while in Japan. It's also useful for traveling aside from the train as well. Ads are minimal and unintrusive, too. The only issue I have is that I wish you could just look at timetables for entire days, but overall it's still extremely useful.

Works great for finding routes to-and-from destination locations. Helps organize everything and is extremely useful. I just wish I could share the itinerary with my wife so we can both edit it in real-time. Whenever she clicks the link, it just opens the Google Play Store. There's no way to redirect to the app. Would be a very useful feature.

Has a notification permanently stuck in the notification bar that cannot be dismissed or disabled. Please remove this. Hard to use. Won't show a map of the route. Won't show a list of departures from a station. Can't find many destinations. Planning my trip is easier with google maps. ETA, this app is trash. I'm at station, looking for the train this suggested. It does not exist! No such depature time or train number at this station! Google told me a train and platform that is real. Garbage app.
