Maintenance developmentUX improvementsperformanceShow more...
Development momentum is currently in a maintenance state, with only one release shipped in the last 102 days. The iOS platform has remained stagnant for over 1,400 days, indicating a lack of cross-platform parity and minimal ongoing investment. Recent updates are limited to minor map improvements and generic bug fixes, suggesting the app is not actively evolving. The current cadence is insufficient to support a modern, competitive transport utility.

Key takeaways for Milan Metro and Transport
Where is it heading?
The urban transit navigation market is consolidating around real-time, multi-modal platforms, leaving static map utilities like this one increasingly obsolete. Without a pivot to real-time data or a removal of aggressive gating, the app will continue to lose relevance to dominant incumbents like Google Maps.
- Forced review gates prevent content access, leading to significant user backlash and negative sentiment ratings.
- Technical instability on modern hardware causes crashes during navigation, further eroding the user experience.
The SWOT
- Lightweight, simplified interface for tourists
- Offline navigation parity with MAPS.ME
