If you don’t have access to Google Play (formerly the Android Market) on your Android-powered device, don’t worry! We want to make sure our Android apps get into as many people’s hands as possible. That’s why we’ve added a Android Downloads page where you can directly download the APK files for any of our apps, absolutely free.
Google recently announced that the Android Market will now be known as Google Play. We’ve received a great response from the community about our new Android apps and we thought we’d share some of the reviews from Google Play!
We’re excited to announce that our metro map apps are now available for Android phones and tablets! Explore Shanghai, Explore Beijing and Explore Singapore are available now for FREE on the Android Marketplace.
You can download the apps from the Android Marketplace, just click on the relevant icon below to go straight to an app.
Features in the first version include:
Here are a few screenshots!
There are a few features that we haven’t included yet, since we wanted to get version 1.0 out as soon as possible. Once you have installed the app, we would love to get your feedback.
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)!
Hate it? Please email me directly at android at exploremetro dot com or leave a comment below, and I’ll do my best to assist with any problems.

We’re proud to announce that Explore Singapore is the third of our award-winning subway maps for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to reach version 6.0
Version 6.0 includes the newly opened Circle Line extension with new stations at Bayfront and Marina Bay.
With version 6.0 we re-wrote the map code from the ground up to be faster. The app now loads quicker, and zooming in and out should be smooth, even on older devices.
The other big new feature is tips. Ever wondered what points of interest are close to a subway stop? Now you can tap on any station, then tap on Tips to see what’s nearby.
Tap the thumbs up button on any tip which you find useful. And if you know a great local restaurant, attraction or a clever shortcut, you can add your own tip:
You can also view a list of the most popular tips for the whole city.
Explore Singapore 6.0 is a free update for existing users. Not got Explore Singapore yet? Download it now from the iTunes App Store.
It’s been a tough few months for commuters in Singapore, with frequent breakdowns plaguing the usually reliable MRT system. Finally there’s some good news for Singaporeans as the long-awaited Circle Line Extension opens! The new link connects the Circle Line with a new station at Bayfront and an interchange with the North South Line at Marina Bay.
We’ve updated our online map with the new stations, an update to our Explore Singapore MRT iPhone app will be available soon.
The Singapore MRT’s Circle Line new extension will open tomorrow, October 8. The new stations extend the line from Marymount to Harbourfront where you can interchange with the North-East Line. There’s another new interchange at Buona Vista with the East-West Line.
An update for our Explore Singapore MRT map is now available on the iTunes App Store. It’s a free update for all users who have purchased the app in the past! Our online map www.exploresg.com has also been updated with the new stations.
Note this is a beta release – we don’t yet have some information for the new stations, such as first/last train times and journey costs. We’ll provide a new update as soon as we get this information added.
We’re pleased to announce that version 3.1 of our metro maps for iPhone and iPad, fixing the crashing bug for users with iOS3, is now available on the iTunes App Store. It’s a free update for all users.
Today, we’re launching a major update to our apps! Explore Beijing, Explore Shanghai, Explore Guangzhou, Explore Hong Kong, Explore Taipei and Explore Singapore have all been updated to version 3.0. This includes new native support for iPad and iPad 2!
We’ve taken the best features of the iPhone/iPod touch experience and redesigned them to work on the iPad’s larger screen. Here’s what you’ll see when you start Explore Shanghai.
Of course, the metro map takes centre stage. You can search for a station with the search bar, or tap on any station for timetables and route-planning:
Notice the “flip” button? A great new feature is the ability to “flip” the screen to see a large Google Map of the station and surrounding area:
Other nearby stations are highlighted. You can also tap the “locate” button 
to centre the map on your current location.
Because the apps are “Universal” apps, they work both on iPhone/iPod touch (including retina graphics!) and iPad/iPad 2. If you’ve already bought one of our apps for iPhone, you can install it on iPad for free. And of course, updating to version 3.0 is free. Not downloaded yet? Our apps cost just $1.99 on the iTunes App Store: download now!
We’d love to hear your feedback about ways to improve our apps. Do get in touch if you find any bugs or have any suggestions!
