Latest reviews of Arukumachi KYOTO app for iPhone and iPad
Good luck using this. If you dont know the precise stop name for the departure and arrival, you just get an error. The app cant even guess "Kyoto station" to [example stop] because Kyoto station isnt a bus stop name. You are better off with a simple paper map of bus routes or google maps search. What a waste of Kyoto city funds.

It is impossible to actually find a route using this. I try typing in a name of the station, like Kyoto Station, and it can’t find the location. I try dropping a pin on the map right on top of the station, next to the station, near the station, and it tells me it can’t find the location. I try to select the station using one of their train route lists, and it tells me it can’t find a station. I have never been able to actually get it to recognize any station or location ever.
This app needs to have drop downs for stations and stops. The website is great, so I know the concept works. Its just impossible to actually use the app unless you have the location names verbatim to how the apps lookup table (which is not visible to the user).
