Visiting the Big Apple? Long time New Yorker on an errand to an unfamiliar part of town?

This simple, handy, and FREE app lets you scroll around a detailed map of the New York City subway system, including all five boroughs. Thats it. The map is saved on your device, so you do not need an Internet connection to view it.

Its not nearly as fancy as some of the paid subway map apps out there, but its free, fast-loading and very convenient when you are stuck underground with no reception on an unfamiliar line and cant or dont want to make your way over to the map seat to check which stop your connection is at.

Enjoy, and please dont complain that it doesnt make toast - its just a map.

Pros and cons of NYC Subway Map app for iPhone and iPad

NYC Subway Map app good for

This is handy in that you can use it where there may not be a signal or if you have data roaming turned off because of cost. Its a very simple no frills little app but nice to have it on the phone instead of a beat up paper map. How about one for buses?
As developer says, this is a simple map of the NYC subway system. It does what it sets out to do. No need for data and it is free. If you are good at reading maps, this app is for you. I used it constantly on my trip to NYC in conjunction with Google Maps. Google Maps (uses cellular data) is good at suggesting a route and this app is good at giving an overview of all the lines and different options and transfers. Sure, the app could be updated to allow zooming and a pop up legend.
I really love this app! Been using it for years to help me get around. It doesnt require internet connection, so its perfect for subway use. I wish they would update it though because some of the train lines changed or extended.
Dont update!!!!!!! 1) loads longer 2) advertisement displayed at bottom 3) no more zoom (granted it was crappy anyway) 4) lava lamp advert got a bit cooler though
Been waiting for months for an update. Quick and easy map overview. If you have a good idea of how the NYC subways work, this is all you need. If you dont, go DL Hopstop
Still love this app its now clearer and more legible in v2.0 but removing the zoom in and out was a mistake. Makes for cumbersome navigation. Need to re introduce it allow for super zoom too. Also why the ads? If so introduce a paid version cant stand apps :( not the only one I assume based on recent reviews.

Some bad moments

Needs a way to relate the Subaway stop with street location and or intersection. Most important: it has ONLY 2 levels of Zoom. regular and Zoom.It does not allow you to pinch out, so if you do not se well the info in the max Zoom level. you cannot use it.
Map is woefully out of date and only marginally useful, needs to be revised and kept current if app is to be of help.
This app is completely outdated, the map is not useful whatsoever.
This map needs and update ASAP, until then uninstalling it. Shame
As soon as you see the "W" train, you know its outdated as hell. UPDATE!!
This used to be a great app. Its no longer reliable. I wish they would just update it. Many of the train lines and stops dont even exist anymore. In fact the token image is perfect. This map seems to be made before metro cards existed.
