Description:
Visiting the Big Apple? Long time New Yorker on an errand to an unfamiliar part of town? This simple, handy, and FREE app lets you scroll around a detailed map of the New York City subway system, including all five boroughs. You can double-tap to zoom out for an overview. That's it. The map is saved on your device, so you do not need an Internet connection to view it. It's not nearly as fancy as some of the paid subway map apps out there, but it's free, fast-loading and very convenient when you are stuck underground with no reception on an unfamiliar line and can't or don't want to make your way over to the map seat to check which stop your connection is at. Enjoy, and please don't complain that it doesn't make toast - it's just a map.

Reviews:
It worked, my god, this "app" worked!  By: OC Dude - Aug 11, 2009 Version: 1.0.2 I was in NYC from Aug 8-10. I used this app, even underground, everytime I had a concern or question. This "app" did it's job! I never once used my fancy tourist "hard copy map." It won't tell you what to do, as far as making choices, but then again, it never said it would. It helps if you have a previous working knowledge of the NYC subway system. If you are a first timer to NYC and use only this "app," that may be a bit adventerous, in the event Mr. Murphy's law decides to visit. If you're a novice to beginner intermediate New Yorker, take the fancy "detailed" tourist map for back-up and "peace of mind" insurance. This is my first review of any iPhone "app" and I only chose to write it due to the simple fact that it worked for me, in a "real-time" environment, even on the subway, and never failed me once. A sound "practical" application for someone with some NYC subway experience.
Exactly what it claims  By: dannysee - Jul 16, 2009 Version: 1.0.2 I am somewhat familiar with NYC and this app was exactly what I wanted - simple and FREE. Like the description says, it doesn't make toast, but I didn't want it to. I suspect that the negative reviews here were written by other app developers, or just plain dummies. If you are completely clueless about NYC and are really going all over the place in a rush, you might prefer another app. But don't expect the MTA's theoretical timetable to help you or make an app worth 4 bucks.I like the way the water moves as its own layer too ;D

Does the job... and free is good!  By: teaspoon926 - Feb 25, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 2-24-09 I like this better than the official map because it's clean and uncluttered, more like the KICKMap than the official MTA map. Just be aware that it's not geographically precise -- someone entirely ignorant of the city would believe that Central Park is nearly a square. For this reason, it's not the ideal map for a tourist, but it's perfect for a resident or frequent visitor who has a grasp of the general geography of the city and just needs a reference for which line stops where. Good: - the map covers the entire system - routes of the same color are printed in different patterned lines, which makes them easy to follow. - the stations with transfers are marked clearly. - it includes the JFK Airtrain, with numbered stops for each terminal - I like the effect used on the water areas of the map! - I like the nostalgic token used as the icon Could be better: - There are only two zoom levels: full system, and a view that's maybe 3/4 mile wide (although that's hard to say, since, again, it's not meant to be geographically precise). I'd like one or two levels in between -- no, wait, what I'd really like is pinch-zooming. - the map legend indicates rush hour/off-peak markings for the map, but local/express markings are not apparent.
Perfect  By: Baracunatana - Apr 25, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 Perfectly clear and readable map. Just what I was looking for.
Works great!  By: hillclimber22 - Apr 22, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 This app is really good. Get's me around town and it's free. Looking forward to next update!

It's free!  By: mepstein - Apr 1, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 Thank you for making this app!
Does what it's supposed to do.  By: robertj15 - Mar 9, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 People writing these reviews seem to be spoiled. It's a map if the subway system, nothing more, nothing less. And for that it gets five stars :)
Very unique  By: Ant-N-Jessy - Mar 1, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 Perfect I can't get lost with this tell u that much one thing maybe to be added should be different zoom levels like how u pinch the screen for pics,email etc

Excellent app. Period.  By: XeosX - Feb 22, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 Free, high quality and fast loading. I know it's free, but I would love to have station information for us real out of towners. Excellent.
Thank you so much  By: JakeBeast - Feb 22, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 So many subway stations don't have maps so I spend time asking & often end up on wrong train. This is a VERY grateful user.
Awesome!  By: Jess1603 - Feb 22, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 Great and FREE
Great App  By: ssmotown - Feb 21, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 This is terrific and really useful. Shows all the lines and you can zoom in for detail. It's great and free!
Perfect!  By: mdenston7 - Feb 21, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 This is exactly what I need and it didn't cost me a dime! It reminds me of those business card sized MTA maps, except it has all five boroughs.
