New version 1.3.3 → 1.3.4

The tab at the bottom now has the same name as the screen it opens, and the JR Pass screen is called the calculator here as well as in the store. When a route is not covered yet, the app says so in plain English instead of talking about sample data and data keys. Behind the scenes: German, Spanish, French, Korean and both Chinese scripts were read by native speakers with the English hidden, then rewritten wherever they read as a translation rather than as writing.

About

Japan's transit system is the best in the world, and also the most confusing for first-time visitors. NipponGo cuts through the complexity so you can travel confidently from day one. HONEST JR PASS CALCULATOR The JR Pass costs ¥50,000+ for a 7-day ordinary pass. Is it worth it for your trip? Most Golden Route itineraries don't break even. NipponGo's calculator takes your actual route, runs the real fares, and gives you a clear verdict, with a buy link only when it genuinely saves you money. PER-LEG SUICA & JR PASS VALIDITY Every route leg shows you exactly which card works: "Suica OK", "JR Pass covers this", "Not on JR Pass". No more guessing at the gate. The detail other travel apps leave out. GOLDEN ROUTE COVERAGE Tokyo inner-city lines, Narita & Haneda airport connections, the Shinkansen to Kyoto and Osaka, Kyoto sightseeing by JR, Osaka subway, and the Hiroshima to Miyajima day trip including the JR ferry, with the exact card validity marked on every leg. SURVIVAL KIT: OFFLINE PHRASEBOOK Essential Japanese phrases for transit emergencies: lost tickets, wrong trains, asking for help. Works fully offline. If something goes wrong at the station, we walk you through it step by step. CLEAN AND HONEST No account to create, and no sign-up wall. No vaporware features: every screen in the app works, offline, on day one. What the app records is listed in full at iocodo.com/apps/nippongo/privacy.
