KickMap NYC App Reviews

Wonderful app!. I’ve used this app for traveling to Washington DC and New York City. It has been great since I had never been to either of these cities. I always try to plan out my trips to get the most out of my vacations and this app has helped tremendously!! I highly recommend it!

My go-to NYC subway map app. This is my go-to NYC subway map app; it loads quickly and gets me where I need to go. Good zoom feature too. Five stars!

Just so simple. This is all you really need. Something that changes with the time of day that you can navigate with just one thumb and make sure you don’t screen yourself up if you’re headed someplace new. I’ve had this app for 10 years and re-download with every new phone. Some apps try to over complicate things and worry about directions etc. but this isn’t that and I love it. Sorry it took 10 years to write this.

Used app for 10 years. I’ve used this app since moving to NYC 10 years ago, and still the best transit app. Updated alerts and info, fast support, best user interface. Highly recommend!

Great for Getting Around. Great map design, very user friendly. Awesome knowing when there are delays. One issue I noticed is WTC Cortlandt only shows the 1 train when there are actually several trains that go there.

My favorite app as an out-of-tower. Whenever I visit NYC I use KickMap for an easy-to-understand map of te system, updated with all the latest changes (even better than the official site!)

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. From an old lady. It simply shows you the way.

The best NYC subway map available. You don't have to remember (or guess) which trains and stops are local or which trains and stops are express.

Travel app for New Yorkers. When you understand the routes and just need a good offline map.. this is the best

it simply works. been using this app for years and it’s still one of most useful subway apps I have. it’s great that it’ll load offline (when you don’t have a good signal!) and they’ve been adding features that might it more current and helpful

Very useful. This app is amazing. It shows you type of platform of every station, shows which station you can transfer to another train and a lot more. Just type in the station name you are coming from and the place you want to go to and It will highlight the routes and the train letter/number. 100% will recommend!

A must for NYC subway travelers. I have had this app for about 3 years. I absolutely love it. It works great and is an invaluable aid for navigating the NYC subway system, which is a great way to get around New York. Even the train times are spot-on. If you live in New York or are just an occasional visitor (like myself) you really should get this app. Thank you KICK Design!

The prettiest and least cluttered subway app I think. I’ve had this app since 2011 and it is still the best for figuring out routes, checking if there are delays, and how long a journey takes when going to a new neighborhood for the first time. It’s also the prettiest and the least cluttered nyc subway map.

Saves my bacon, daily. Some people check the weather first thing on the morning. I check KickMap! Also, automatic notifications always let me know when my most-used subway lines are a mess, allowing me to take a different route and avoid being late for work. With the current state of the MTA KickMap is a must.

Awesome app!. Best when you purchase the full version. Wish they had a way to save or pin favorite destinations on the map.

Great. Easy to use and very clear.. Very clear and east to use. This map is all you really need in the city, it's simple so if you're looking for bells and whistles maybe its not for you but I've never needed anything else.

This app is great. I’ve been using it since my first iPhone actually when I was in high school to a decade later. I’ve put my friends and family onto it. Would recommend!

PLEASE READ WHY YOU NEED THIS. MUST DOWNLOAD IF YOU TAKE THE SUBWAY, BY FAR BEST SUBWAY APP EVER!!! MY APOLOGIES ABOUT BEING THE ALL CAPS GUY, NO ONE LIKES IT AND ONLY FATHERS GET AWAY WITH USING IT, BUT THIS APP HAS BEEN A LIFESAVER ( I here by revoke my card for speaking in caps for life, it was worth it if you save yourself the headache of trying other subway apps)

Better than the subway map. Better than the subway map. Updates to real changes and I like that the neighborhoods are added on.

Phenomenal Transit App. Use this app constantly to plan trips to NYC. Works off-line and has a easy to read layout. I recommend to everyone who needs to take the subway.

Great subway app. This is a great NY subway app! Easy to use, just click on a station in the map and hold until the schedule opens. Useful alerts too. The only drawbacks are that delays are not reported in real time but none of the apps seem capable of doing that. Very minor issue is the schedule usually says “northbound” or “southbound” but that gets confusing for stations where trains are going east-west (like the E on 53rd street). I use this app everyday.

Great Subway App. It never let us down in NYC. It gave us good connections and the subway trains that were outta service or made their last stop for the night showed up in gray.

Best subway map with train delays. Map is easy to read, has updated info on train problems and tells you how to get from one point to another. My go to subway navigator!

Nice app it could use more features. Nice app it could use a section where you agent real get real-time of when the train will arrive

Invaluable Resource. Loving this app - it’s helped me feel like so much less of an idiot while exploring New York (and hopefully moving here).

A must have!. If you ride public transit in NYC, this is a must have! Nothing worst than walking down to your subway and finding 1000’s of people on the platform. If you have KickMap, you can get a warning alert prior to being trapped with the rest of the miserable commuters waiting for the train. KickMap allows you to figure out alternatives.

Good interface, doesn’t track MTA changes.. Map shows many lines running at night when they are in fact all shut down (May 7, 2020).

Excellent interactive subway map. Changing the detail of information provided as you zoom works flawlessly. Wish it also had a (separate) bus map.

Fantastic!. We all get a bit forgetful from time to time, and without updates of service changes and whatnot’s where would we be?

What they said.... I’m also an iTrans refugee, who came to KickMap when iTrans broke. This could be the PERFECT app with just two fixes: 1. more detail in the alert pop-ups, and, 2. moving the alert listing to its own page, because the current format is too small - the icons for each line are too small and prone to tapping errors, and the window is too small and font too big to allow easy reading of the service advisory information. iTrans did these things right and was five stars - when it worked. KickMap can be 5 stars if it makes these reasonable adjustments.

Great map, UI could be improved. Main issue: the interface is really ugly — the animations are way too slow, has lots of pixelated textures and overall windows-98-ish look, needs revamp for sure. The map itself is the star here, the only reason to purchase this babe. Idea for the devs on how to improve it: highlight and flash problematic lines (red glow or something like that) — in case it’s delayed or is under construction.

Super helpful!. Super helpful and easy to use. A key feature is alerts for when lines are down. Shows surrounds streets, which is great. Highly recommend!

Use this every day. Best NYC subway app of the ones I’ve tried. Only request is for the next version to show each station on the neighborhood map.

Great map that never lets you down!. People tried to convince me to use Google Maps to navigate the subway system in NYC but KickMap has great reviews so I took a chance. I spent a week in NYC traveling back and forth from Manhattan to Brooklyn and KickMap was my go-to app. The colors and letters for the lines were easy to follow. Highly recommend this app!

Great NYC subway app. Well worth buying the full version. Pinch and zoom was fine in the free app but the full version shows street names, local attractions, estimated train arrival at a specific stop and access to subway stations with WiFi. Very clear when you zoom

Works great!. Great app! I have used it for years. Maps open without phone service so I am never stuck. Updates with phone service are great, night and day schedules automatically show, and there are even fun additions like a little firework logo in the ease river on the Fourth of July to show where the fireworks will be!

Very helpful. Quick way to check routes. Keep on your today screen for best effect

Works like a charm. Could really only use some minor tweaks but all in all an excellent app! I saw a complaint about the airport directions, but if you look at the map, the AirTrain from JFK connects to Howard Beach (subway only lines) and Jamaica Station (subway and LIRR) and there are tons of signs explaining what to do. LaGuardia is more complicated because of the buses and no direct rail link to the airport, but similarly, there are tons of signs and information kiosks to help - so all you have to do is zoom in to see where the airport bus shuttle connection stations are and get to them. I think that the reason they left out the directions from the connecting Stations to the airports is that you'd need to know which terminal your airline is located in to get specific directions, and that changes quite frequently sometimes. Personally, I don't think it's enough of a reason to give the app a 1-star rating because I've been using KickMap NYC for years now and I've only seen the app get better and more reliable.

Been using it for years. Best subway map available. I recommend it to everybody — even people who are only visiting for a few days. KickMap is the best!

Such a useful app. App was extremely useful during my stay in NYC. Helped me look like a native NY'er. The more I used the app the more I actually learned regarding the trains and direction, next stops, duration, etc. The more you use the app, the less you will need it.

Perfect accompaniment to other apps. This makes it so much easier to quickly see which trains stop at which stations!!

Used to be my favorite train app now it just lies to you. Kickmap was great at first. Now it just lies and you sAdsays trains came when they didn’t. Youll be standing on the platform and it will say train in one minute. Then nothing until it says the train arrived on time but your still standing on the platform

Among the nicest NYC subway apps. I’m a convert from iTransNYC which was the standard for iPhone until it stopped updating regularly as of late. This app matches that app in almost every aspect (and props for making own maps!) but I’d like to see more detailed delay and cancellation info within the push notifications. This shouldn’t be too hard, just rally the same info MTA sends out to its riders - iTransNYC does exactly that. Also I think a full page dedicated to alerts rather than a small menu right now will make navigating information even easier.

Coach. It made my life so much easier because I normally get stuck waiting for the train. Love this app so much that I go out now just to use it (lol).

Great!. I brought this app for my first time visit to NYC and it's just amazing! Easy to use and accurate. Definitely recommend it if your using NYC subway system for the first time.

Best NYC Subway Map Since 2009. Been using this app for 15 years! And it is still the best. Highly recommended!! ✅

KickMap My Fave NYC Subway Map. This is an easy subway map to use. No fuss. No muss. And the map looks great. I like the way it updates MTA info constantly. Without a doubt, this map is my favorite subway map.

Easy Peezy. A simple, easy to read subway map that has never let me down!

Still my favorite!. I still like this one. It used to be practically the only choice in good old days. There are many more subway maps now, but this is still my favorite.

Best subway app. I use Kickmap before heading out to the subway to see if my line has delays. Info is up to date and I can use it to make quick decision to opt to a different train line that doesn't have delays at the moment. Also has a clean interface and I like that it shows the neighborhood names on the map. I live here so don't need that, but I'm sure it's helpful to someone from out of town.

missing widgets. great map and UI but would really love widgets!

Very Adequate. Better directions than MTA itself.

Best App for NYC transit. I love this app. Easy to use and accurate.

Excellent. Excellent. Does exactly what it needs to plus a bit more.

Asks for rating too often. Like the title says.

life saving. saved my life coming from school

Needs to be updated. This app doesn’t have real time information. It only has scheduled time.

Kick Map. I check on delays and mess-ups before I take out my metrocard.

Can't live without it. This map is the bomb! For a newcomer or NYC native alike, it's basic sly indispensable! Get it - great app.

Very good app. If you are lost it is very useful.

Use it. Works fantastic. Buy it. Use it

Fantastic, accurate map!. Love this app and use it all the time.

Works great.. Easy to use, very accurate.

For years!!!!. It’s my favorite!! Gotten’me to 3 relationships.

Used this for years - the best!!!!. Simply the best app

Great App. I've had this for two years and its only gotten better.

Love this very simple and very useful app. I use it few times at day.

Love it!. Accurate, dependable and reliable! Awesome app!

Service changes. Service changes have not been updating for a while. Please help.

Great app!!!!. It keeps up to date with trains scheduling.

Worth Every Penny. Schedules, routing, detours & delays; and most important, a beautiful graphic. You will love it.

Why have arrival times stopped working?. The app used to show live arrival times of trains but now it just shows the static train schedule and it doesn’t update in real time. What the heck??

Good. Much better than any other NYC subway map

Great App. I really like this app because it's up to date. The timing may be off for some lines but I'm happy with it

Glolobridgida. Great app, always works, love it

Easy to use. I rely on this map to get around.

Good map. The routes and stations are clearly marked and easily accessible. Zooming in to stops works well. Useful map.

Great App and very accurate. Worth every penny! Suggestions Siri Shortcuts: -I want to be able to ask Siri when the next trains are arriving to a specific station and DIRECTION. Please and Siri SPEAK the arrivals instead of opening the app. Thanks for the great app!

Great app!!. Very useful everyday.

Best App for NYC Subways. Easy to use and very reliable to help navigate the NYC subway system.

Smart. So simple yet so clever! Great for those not familiar with city transit. easily worth the $3

The App simply doesn’t work. This app worked for about a week and now when I type in a destination it crashes/freezes. I’m not going to get my $3.99 back but I figured I’d warn anyone interested in purchasing....Don’t!

Worth the money. Much better than a map. Very much worth the money I paid for the ap

Kick map; best subway map ever. I love this app because everything is mapped out side by side!

Attractive design!. Very appealing to look at. And I have to check daily so it’s nice to have a map that’s well designed.

The Best. Kickmap makes the actual NYCT subway map look like the dog that it is. Clean and clear map, the best.

Love this app!. Not from NY and use this app all the time.

Quick subway map. Good. But older one was simpler and free

100% better than the MTA map!. EOM

Awesome!. We love this app! So helpful getting around NYC!

Kick map nyc very good. So easy to use

Awesome App. Great app. Use it every time I'm in the city!!!

The best. Tried them all. Simply the best one

App is great, but…. This app is terrific but somehow ignore the easy connection from F to Q at 63rd Street when going to the Upper East Side and instead recommends change at 34th Street, which involves stairs and ramps.

Love it. Have used it forever. Love it. Simple

Thinking of deleting it for another app. When searching address is in New York City it does not show me proper trains to get close. It says error or something like no subways from airport it is absolutely useless. Please advise

Best design. Better design and easier readability than anything the MTA has ever done, including Vignelli.

Just get it!. My favorite map to navigate the subway

Super Subway App. LOVE this app! NYC is a breeze with KickMap. Great GIS & graphics team. Everything is visually clean. I am so impressed!

Time Table. Would be great if it shows the time table of the next arriving train!
