Great for walking and public transportation!
It gives you available routes and ETA for public transportation which are awesome features!
Wish it had open time info like google map.

Honestly just not user friendly at all
For foreigners this app sucks. And what sucks more is having it as your only option for maps -_- half the places we went it didnt have located on the map, addresses were hard to fine, it doesnt show time left in real time like google maps. All around frustrating experience i give it a 0/10.

The best map for Korea!
Couldn’t visit Korea without the help of kakao map!!

Foreigners can use but learn the app first.
We ended up defaulting to Google maps and Uber (US download). This app is a bit challenging to use as a foreigner. Without a Korean ID, credit card, and phone number it’s not as user friendly for foreigners as I thought it would be considering how much tourism there is. Ultimately went back to Google maps for navigating, hailing taxis old school, and Uber for booking ahead.

Totaly Piece of Junk
Its totally piece of Junk map app, Totally useless for nor Korean people. It’s not even 1% of Google & Apple Maps, Sadly to keep Kakao & NAVER map in business, Korean Govt has not allowed Apple & Google.

Add more English for metros
add english translation and when searching for stores/places in English nothing shows up, only when i have to search in Korean; just add more English to it and let us hold on screen to translate to english

로드뷰 광고창 어찌 해 봐라
암만 돈이 급해도 그렇지, 광고창을 엄한데 쑤셔넣어놔서 사용자에겐 불편한 경험을 주고 회사는 고의적 수익을 추구하니 토악질 나온다. 더욱 역겨운 사실은 대체할 앱이 없다는 현실이 개탄스럽다.

그렇다고 결과 제대로 나오지도 않음
지하철 최단 경로 2시간 15분 잡아주길래 지하철 앱으로 검색했더니 56분 뜨는데?

Helpful while visiting Korea
For some reason google maps does not do navigation in Korea. Kakao Map gets it done but my wife who speaks zero Korean has a hard time with it. I and read and write Korean so it was easier for me to use it.
Overall search functionality was pretty terrible though. Unless you know exactly what you are supposed to type it has a pretty hard time. I found myself using Google Maps to search and then figure out what to type into Kakao Map to navigate.

Terrible for English users. Use Naver map
I speak both languages and not sure if Kakao bought reviews but a few items. 1) GPS dot is highly inaccurate sets me about 1-2 miles from where I am 2) common keywords like “haircut” aren’t naturally translated and searched. Naver map does a better job but not by much. 3) the app is full of ads that take up so much mobile resources
Pros: it kinda functions, you just gotta manually map your starting point and

Map system is ok.
- The refresh/recalculation time is somewhat slow. If a turn is missed, the time it takes to recalculate and make next turn is already missed.
- It will stop using navigation/safe driving mode almost immediately if destination is reached.
- would love to see Apple CarPlay support.
- needs an option to remove the speed alerts as well.

Works fine until it doesn’t
The Navi function for driving a car is quirky. It frequently forgets I live on a one way street. It warns me of “sharp turns” that are gentle curves. The voice navigation often tells me to “head toward” and ends the sentence there. The warnings and suggestions for highways exit come late and are unclear. It frequently suggests a very roundabout way home.
Sometimes the app switches to full Korean with no warning and there isn’t a clear way to change back to English.
The app does mostly function, just seems like it’s on par with an app from ~8+ years ago.

Excellent app
We were in Seoul, South Korea and the maps from this app really helped us get around town. We used public transportation quite a bit while we were there. The app made it very easy to determine which line to take and how to get to the station/bus stop; it even provided info on when the bus/subway would arrive. A must have app if you’re traveling to South Korea.

Not for English users
I was in S.Korea for 10 days. This App doesn’t function if you don’t read Korean. A wasted effort!!!

Not very good for English users
Even when you set it to English, like 70% of it, including the addresses and all of the instructions are still in Korean

Not foreigner friendly - don’t believe the other reviews
I don’t understand how other reviews are saying this is foreigner friendly. Even if the language is set to English, messages, names of places and search still in Korean. Settings for all Kakao Apps are also not user friendly - for example, I cannot input my credit card because it says I have to unblock pop-ups, but I didn’t say how. This app might be good for locals, but not tourists.

Great for foreigners to get around Seoul
The app is great for foreigners trying to get around Seoul. The maps were accurate. The location of the subway exits/entrances was very useful as well. Don’t expect it to work well for planning ahead if you’re out of the country. A lot of the locations listed were still in Korean but most had translations that helped enough to get by.
