We at GMAP have been working very hard over the past few months to develop an app that people living or visiting will find very useful. It is called Go!TOKYO, which will go on sale for 350 yen. But for the holidays, the price has been reduced to 115 yen!
What makes it any different than other similar apps? For one thing, it has English speakers in mind. But it is not just a localized product. It will help you get on the train car that is nearest to your exit and/or transfer point.
Also get exit info in English.
Of course, you can choose the station and its position the train map.
See the surrounding area on Google Map and/or our area map, which doesn’t require an internet connection.
Even information about each line.
Take a look at the video!
So you can now go from the platform to your final destination easier! Click below to go to iTunes.
Developing Team,
I want to buy the app but I noticed in the video Inokashira line is not added. Can you add it?
I bought findtokyo and intend to buy this if you can add Inokashira line.
Best regards,

Hello Leo,
Thank you for your comment. We do plan on adding private railway. However, we will do it within the first quarter of 2010 as an update. We will definitely add Inokashira…since I live on that line as well!
We plan to add major JR lines first before adding private railway. We really appreciate the input! Thank you!
The app looks nice, and has lots of information but in some ways is very limited
There is no station search (e.g. search for “Hongo-sanchome”). Have a search option able to use the exit information would be even better (e.g. search for “Tokyo University”).
There is no way to select a station via the map (you have to select via the metro line).
Once you are looking at a station, for stations serving multiple lines, there is no way to switch to another line
Thanks Peter. You points are well taken. We actually plan to add a search function as there will be more stations added. As for searching via final destination, such as Tokyo University, that would be pretty cool and we will keep that in mind. Keep those comments coming!
This app looks great! The info on where on the platform to stand for the next transfer point, and the listing of the station exits are incredible and go far beyond and Tokyo transit site or app I’ve seen. Only problem is I have switched to Android! If you decide to do an Android port I would gladly pay for this app.
Thanks!
Thanks Aaron. Your message is encouraging and putting developing for the Android platform more compelling!
