Pros and cons of HKeMobility app for iPhone and iPad

HKeMobility app good for

App works fine. I finally found the buses to take overnight! The map the route function is useful to see where the transfer is and which roads its taking.
This is my favorite app to figure out my transport routes around Hong Kong. The design is very dated and definitely needs improvement, but its practical pros really outweigh the design flaws. Forget Google Maps for this sort of information!

Some bad moments

Tested with IOS5.0 a complete waste of time. No single entry found. This app issued by a HK government dept. it should use tax payers money more wisely.
Downloaded on my iPad 2. It just keep crashing. Dont waste our time.
Very easy to use.. Both in Chinese and English. Good job guys!!!!!
When I click the first stop,the map will appear the right place, but when I click the second stop, the map show the wrong place......
Not even beta quality. It looks like a really bad alpha release. Crashes randomly and low-res icons. Searched for 灣仔地鐵站, got nothing and crashed... Wanted info on MTR line info and it had to launch safari to go to an external site. What a shame. No idea how this got good ratings.
I used this on numerous occasions, and it was able to give me an efficient route back into the heart of the city from the most remote parts of Hong Kong. Gives you several options for routing, so you can choose based on cost, time, or the least amount of transfers. Incorporates information from all the major bus companies, ferries, and MTR. No need to download the individual apps from all those companies, this has all you need
