Pros and cons of Explore Guangzhou app for iPhone and iPad

Explore Guangzhou app good for

Its a neat and useful app! Def saves time if you dont know the city. But the updates are a bit slow.

Great App! Very useful. But I think that the old interface (which is shown on the first screenshot) was much more convenient. Hope it will be returned at the next update.

I use it to figure out where the closest metro is. And Im really impressed that they keep up with the pace of metro construction!

Even Guangzhou travel sites arent as current as this one. I use it weekly and really appreciate that it keeps up with the rapid construction of the metro!!!

It helps a lot having explore GZ in your hands since its quite a hassle to read the metro stops at the station since theres always a crowd. It helps me to plan ahead and avoid wandering around the station figuring if its the right stop.

thats a great SW,I installed it at the free time.I can use it for search the station name and choose a faster line.

Some bad moments

Ever since I installed this app I have been getting pop-up ads (in Chinese) that are crashing other apps I am using. Its too bad. It seemed like a good app for navigating The GZ metro.
