  • Were there any problems or crashes?
  • Are there any features that you think should be added?

Love it? We’d also appreciate it if you could give us a good review on the Android Market (and tell all your Android-using friends)!

ExploreMetro is coming to Android!

Update: our apps are now available

ExploreMetro has been providing Asia’s best metro maps since 2007. In 2009 we launched our first iPhone app, giving you access to our maps on the go, and we now have iPhone and iPad apps for seven cities.

Today, we’re delighted to announce that we’re hard at work developing apps for Android devices too! While we don’t have an exact release date yet, we wanted to get the word out and share some early screenshots! The ExploreMetro apps will run on phones and tablets running Android 2.2 or higher, including new “Ice Cream Sandwich” Android 4.0 devices. We’ll include all your favorite features from the iOS versions, like English/Chinese station names, routeplanner, nearest stations, offline support and more.

Here’s a screenshot of Explore Shanghai running on the Samsung Galaxy Tab to whet your appetite!
