Seoul Subway - Official 3.8.5

Korea’s first Seoul Subway App is dedicated to providing convenience for foreigners using the subway system in Seoul. Developed by Seoul Metro, the app focuses on improving the experience of foreign travelers by providing location-based information for boarding, transit, and arrival times. Unlike other subway apps, this app specifically caters to the needs of foreigners visiting Seoul.

The Seoul Subway App offers a range of features that make navigating the subway system effortless. Users can easily search for routes using station names, numbers, and destinations. Real-time train information is also displayed based on either the station or the specific line. In addition, the app provides detailed information about subway stations, including notification of arrival stations and congestion levels of trains. Should there be a delay, users receive situation alarms to keep them informed.

One of the standout features of this app is its ability to provide useful services beyond just navigation. Users can easily find restrooms within stations, as well as exits and transit information. Moreover, the app offers information about popular tourist attractions located near each station, helping users make the most of their time exploring Seoul's famous tourism destinations.

The design and configuration of the app are simple, making it easy for users to navigate and understand its features. It offers a seamless user experience that ensures foreign travelers can confidently use the subway system without any inconvenience.

When it comes to privacy and access rights, the Seoul Subway App conforms to essential standards. Essential access rights include the ability to make calls to station offices or emergency contacts. Additionally, users have access to files and media necessary for operating the app, such as downloading line maps. Location and nearby device access are also required for receiving accurate boarding locations, arrival notifications, and reporting complaints about trains.

There are also optional access rights available for users. These include camera access for taking pictures when reporting complaints, as well as microphone access for individuals with transportation vulnerabilities or for using the Google voice recognition service.
