Very helpful to get around in Hong Kong

bernd24 · 12 years ago · v2.3

Makes life so much easier if you do not speak Chinese. And if you have visitors you can mail or text them the taxi card. Really cool!

Basic info missing - do not purchase

mqnwbr · 13 years ago · v2.2

Four of the first six locations that I entered into the app were missing...the building I live in (Bamboo Grove) and the road that my sons school is on (Nam Long Shan Road). Also kissing are Pak Tam Au Road (the start of the MacLehose Trail) and Sha Tin Pass. These are all popular locations that should not have been overlooked. This app is obviously a money grab by someone who was too lazy to do their homework. The worst part about it is that the developer actually lives in Hong Kong, a few blocks from my building! Unbelievable.

Needs improvement

ぴっちゃ · 10 years ago · v3.0

Data accuracy and coverage needs improvement, Ive been taken to wrong places due to bad data. Centamap much better for showing accurate destination in Cantonese.

Not great unless they start updating and adding

Living in HK · 13 years ago

Too limited and missing too many places.

Ive Wanted This For Years

SpikeHK · 13 years ago

I always try to know the Cantonese names of the places Im going to but very often the taxi drivers have problems understanding my terrible accent. Yes, its true its not complete but theres plenty here to start with an apparently they update the database from time to time. Each time Ive shown the taxi card to a driver hes been impressed and instantly understood where I wanted to go. For 99 cents its well worth it. Request to developers: push out a notice to users when theres an update on the database to download?

Great App

DC2HK · 13 years ago

Ive found this app to be very helpful. A lot easier than trying to point to the street or building in Google maps or remembering to bring that little taxi translator book they sell at Dymocks. I have noticed a bunch of locations are not yet in the database, such as the international/ESF schools or the various sports and recreation clubs. Even a few fairly popular streets arent included. Hope these will be included in the next update. Other than that, this app has been great! Thanks!

Good, but needs update

Useful and fun app. Guildford Road and Mansfield Road are both missing, among others. Update it and it will be great.
