Not very good for English users
Even when you set it to English, like 70% of it, including the addresses and all of the instructions are still in Korean
United StatesNot foreigner friendly - don’t believe the other reviews
I don’t understand how other reviews are saying this is foreigner friendly. Even if the language is set to English, messages, names of places and search still in Korean. Settings for all Kakao Apps are also not user friendly - for example, I cannot input my credit card because it says I have to unblock pop-ups, but I didn’t say how. This app might be good for locals, but not tourists.
United StatesGreat for foreigners to get around Seoul
The app is great for foreigners trying to get around Seoul. The maps were accurate. The location of the subway exits/entrances was very useful as well. Don’t expect it to work well for planning ahead if you’re out of the country. A lot of the locations listed were still in Korean but most had translations that helped enough to get by.
United StatesBloatware
The app is SO SLOW. Takes forever to load and the screen is covered in widgets and unnecessary junk. By the time the map loads to check where the approaching bus is going, everyone has boarded and the bus is gone. Then the map loads. Sometimes bus stops will not load at all and you have to load the bus route from another location to force the bus stop to load. 2 stars because it’s useful if you have 5 minutes to wait for loading
United Statesadd English for search
when I search for places in english, they don’t show up
United StatesNOT ENGLISH FRIENDLY
This app is NOT ENGLISH FRIENDLY. I’m so confused as to why people say it’s great for foreigners. Unless you can read/type in Korean, you cannot even search subway stations. Instead you have to scan the huge subway map for stations which is extremely inconvenient since the subway system is HUGE.
United StatesOnly one language supported
You’d think that you’d be able to change the language in the app to something else, but you can’t. I give it two stars cause the English that is present is cool, but I’m only trying to read one language at a time.
