Just like many of the other comments mentioned, it was a great app. English doesn't work in the search function anymore and the resulting route is also in Korean now. It's still possible to use but you'll have to search the map manually and select from where to where you're going. On the displays in the train you'll have to match up the displayed station names when transfering. Went from super useful to annoyingly complicated workaround :(

Was a fantastic app until one day it no longer understood searches for the english subway station names, only Korean. Both the Transit Map and App languages are set to english, and no changes were made by me. There is no other option to modify for the language, yet half the app is in English and half is in Korean. App is useless to me now.

I had Kakao Metro and used the app to help me navigate from one station to another, but something changed. Either an update idk but I'm not able to type the stations name in English ( From - To). And the stops are ONLY in Korean😭. Please change it to how it was. It will definitely help foreigners navigate this beautiful country!
