I was in Seoul for a month and I relied on Naver maps everyday to get me around. Granted it is not flawless but I don’t understand the massive whining about this app. Yes, it got me messed up a few time but it was absolutely better than nothing. Once I learned my way around the public transportation I used it to check bus and train times which were insanely accurate and the walking part of Naver was great. It directed me to all the places I needed to see. So I give it five stars because it was a great app for the month I used it. I didn’t give up after the first time it got something wrong. I kept at it and with the help of the app and the kind Korean people I was able to have a wonderful experience. 🇺🇸 Works better than others I was in Seoul for a month and I relied on Naver maps everyday to get me around.

We recently traveled to Korea and rented a car. This app was a life saver!! To try to navigate in a new country and in Korean was a challenge but this app was the easiest to figure out and user friendly. Make sure you give yourself a few minutes to play with it and it would be a great addition to your trip. Reviews don’t reflect how good this app is. We recently traveled to Korea and rented a car.

When I was living in Korea this app was useful for me every day. I preferred it to KakaoMap. The driving directions in particular are very good.

How is there STILL no dark mode? I really love everything about this app except how it blinds me with its light mode screen when I use it at night. Slowly making my transition to TMap.

I am absolutely confused why this app has received so many negative reviews. Maybe people are upset that this Korean app has some *gasp* Korean? Nonsense. This app showed us very accurate directions to places we needed to go. It showed us timetables of when the next train and bus was arriving, as well as accurate walking directions. There is a setting to change it to English (which is what we used), but some places (for example, restaurants) will not have an English translation and that’s okay. It wasn’t slow or buggy when we were using it in South Korea. I highly recommend this app for travel! Very helpful. Don’t mind the negative reviews!
