While the search function with transit passes like the JR Rail Pass is usefull, the fact that details like time tables and in-between stations are hidden behind a paywall (as opposed to its predecessor by the JNTO) is a major downside. Furthermore, the premium plan cannot be purchased as it continuously creates connection errors. Honestly, learn to program and stresstest an app before you ask money for features that are free in any other railway app.

Completely useless. Station names are still in Japanese; train names are in scribble and unreadable. This app is intended for internal market, definately not for non-jap speakers. Even hyperdia is better, and that means a lot, since that is the worst travel planner on the planet. Together with this one. Edit: wow. A premium plan. With no way to figure out HOW MUCH IT COSTS. Giant wow. And giant "nope".

Very, very slow, and I'm on a Pixel 9. Doesn't always give you the fastest or easiest choices, and if you want to know basic things like the stop names or details you have to pay for a pass? Not worth it when the base app is so incredible bad.
