Five apps for NYC tourists
Mini_discussion_bubble The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) - Posted Tue, 04 Aug 2009 22:30:00 UTC +00:00
Filed under: Reviews, App Store, App Review I was in NYC for a week and feeling a bit bored, so I took a look at a passel (anyone still use that word?) of NYC tourist traps apps, that I picked up last week for the heck of it. NYC Subway 24-Hour KICKMap - $1.99. Rating: Horrible. This is a generic sub... Read More

This app can't find The borough of Brooklyn 2.0 stars
By: defilmj
Version: 1.0
Try starting at the major hub that connects Long Island to New York, "Atlantic Ave and Flatbush Ave Brooklyn"? aka "the long island rail road". The largest commuter railroad in the United States of America! People complain. that Hopstop can't find you unless you live AT the subway stop. Well it appears to not do that well sometimes as well. Back to food old itrans. You have to do the work yourself if you don't know where the nearest subway is, bit you can easily find that on maps, which comes with your iPhone, then go to trans and map your route. It is a pain, but it is better than fumbling with Hopstop's inability to find major Intersections and landmarks, or parts of NYC boroughs. Seems to work better in Manhattan. Maybe the other 4 boroughs aren't relevent?? Needs much work. yes, itrans provides up to min subway alerts for all lines. I have no love for itrans, just noting the method I used before hopstop, and appears I still have to use. :(

Trouble reading addresses in NY 3.0 stars
By: Campfire Steve

Does not have the smarts of Google Maps when searching NY addresses.
"Address Not Found" 1.0 stars
By: officialbrianjohnson
Version: 1.0
Manually entering an address results in a "address not found" response. I've only been able to receive directions with addresses already programed in my contacts. Hopefully an update will address this issue. (no pun intended)
Frustrating 3.0 stars
By: Cam12
Version: 1.0
I can't count how many times I tried entering in an address and I see "address not found" which is very annoying. I even tried my own house as the destination and said it couldn't be found. This application has only worked twice and unless the devs don't intend to update I will b deleting it from my phone.
You need to enter the FULL address 4.0 stars
By: Erlyn3
Version: 1.1
This makes me wish I had an iPhone instead of the iPod Touch, since this is pretty much the only app which has the BUS routes as well as the subway (and it's FREE).
Works great 4.0 stars
By: Doctor Jennie
Version: 1.1
What's up with the whining? Works great! No zip needed for NYC subway directions. Just like the website. Bus info would be helpful and 5 star-worthy.
Finally 3.0 stars

I can't believe it took so long to have this app. I was waiting for it! It took so long that I was almost giving it up and using google maps public transit ( which is getting better everyday) the bad, and this is really bad, is that this app doesn't have an address book as the web version. I hope it's fixed soon.
OK in NYC, useless elsewhere 1.0 stars
By: red1974tradesman

This app needs major improvements. It's useless when you travel to a different city where you are not familair with the mass transit system.
Love It!!!!! 5.0 stars

I'm a big fan of the website already, so I am thrilled to have this on my phone. So far it is pretty simple to use and I love that I can still get information about subway diversions, etc.
Best app around 5.0 stars
By: zhoffman
Version: 1.1
This is simply the best app around, especially for DC. It has the bus system, which no other app can say, and it provides detailed directions using both of them. It would be nice if it showed the directions in a version of google maps or on the metro maps that the transit agencies provide.
You get what you pay for 1.0 stars

Gave me terrible directions when I tested it out in NYC. If you live in NYC and don't use the bus, itrans is a much better program and it's worth the 2 bucks.
After a few freezes, a good app emerges 3.0 stars
By: eddit13
Version: 1.1
I was stuck on a white screen multiple times after installing. I restarted. Reinstalled. Freeze. I was about to give up and voilà...here we go. I live in NY and Hopstop is great. Hopstop for iPhone is almost great. Needs schedules. Unlike Maps, this doesnt have schedules. Like Maps, you have to leave out apt, suite and floor info. It's free so for me this is a great start. Fix the crashes and add schedules and the App Store rating might improve. Still I think ppl should give hopstop for iPhone a shot. It's FREE.

Ads for the App...in the App?!? 3.0 stars
By: rtclyde
Version: 1.1
This does a passable job for a free App. But why on earth would you run advertisements inside the App imploring us to download the App?!? That's just silly...

Metro North doesn't work 3.0 stars

The description says this app works for Metro North, but I can't get it to recognize New Haven, or anywhere else in the Connecticut line.
...dumb 2.0 stars
By: Agddgcstnd
Version: 1.1
It's kind of really stupid for anyone to have even if you have a basic idea of nyc (I live here) so why not just learn the subway and not look like a stupid tourist? I does what it says. Not worth keeping for new yorkers
Probably the best app for getting around NYC 5.0 stars

Great app!!! The best one for getting around New York's subway system!!!
Can't find full addresses 2.0 stars
By: NeedsWork
Version: 1.1
I entered two full addresses with zip for NYC. It couldn't find an Astoria address and, therefore I couldn't map to it. (assumed the Astoria address was a manhattan address). Not very useful.
Not as happy as I'd thought i'd be 1.0 stars
By: Eraid
Version: 1.1
Doesn't correctly find the address I put in. It always suggest wrong address. I hope they can fix the problem. Guess back to google maps...

NYC3 4.0 stars
By: Matthew_Ryan

Works for me. No problem yet with finding addresses. Wish you could set default city though so I wouldn't have to type in NY everytime.
Would be nice if it, you know, worked. 1.0 stars
By: jsf23
Version: 1.0
If this app would allow any manually entered addresses or intersections to work, and not be rejected as invalid, it's be awesome. I'll just stick with Hopstop's mobile site instead.
One of the best... 5.0 stars

Needs ability to save route offline 4.0 stars
By: JW223
Version: 1.0
Good app. Needs the ability to save a route offline or email it so it can be accessed with no service (as would be the case if I am in the subway and don't remember where I need to transfer).
Finally! 5.0 stars
By: futurismo
Version: 1.0
Love this app. This is what I have been waiting for. Simpler and more elegant than HopStop's web and wap sites, more powerful than Google Maps transit.
Works like the site 3.0 stars
By: halwaterman
Version: 1.0
If you use the web site, then you will be familiar with how to use this app. Simple, functional, practical. I like the new feature where it will estimate the cost of your taxi drive and give you the option to call the cab companies directly from the program. Note: I have not actually taken one of thes estimated trips to see if the pricing is accurate. I'm sure traffic etc will affect the rates, but it's a good way to at least get a ballpark figure before taking the ride.

There is now an iPhone application that works perfectly with my list of contacts for navigating through the Big Apple and beyond. Keep up the great work guys!!!!!
Helps get around in NYC 4.0 stars
By: e + n
Version: 1.0
I used this yesterday for the first time, and it was great. A couple of hitches with the graphics, but it makes getting around in NYC much easier. Can't speak for the subway system in Hawaii, but for buses and subways in NY, you can't beat it.
