Korean - English translation application
Besides Google Translate, there are many Korean - English translation applications developed specifically for Korea. A typical example is Naver Dictionary, this application has an integrated dictionary feature so that users can look up easily.
WayGo is another very handy app that will translate signs, menus, or anything into English by pointing your camera at it.
Another app worth considering is Learn Korean WordPower, which will provide travelers with basic conversational phrases.
Map application
While Google Maps is great in most countries, it’s a close second in Korea because it doesn’t help you navigate on foot. This is because the Korean government doesn’t allow terrain data to be stored on servers based overseas, so you’re limited to local map apps. Google Maps still works for buses, subways, and long-distance public transportation.
Two popular recommended Korean navigation apps in English are Naver Map and KakaoMap. Download them and enjoy days of wandering around Seoul with precise directions.
Subway and bus system map application
KakaoMap is the best option as it covers all the trains, buses, driving and walking in one app and is available in English for ease of use. For inter-city travel, travelers should also use the Korail app. This is an app to look up train schedules, but users cannot make online reservations through this app.
Subway Korea is a great app for the subway in Korea, covering 5 major cities: Seoul, Busan, Taejeon, Kwangjoo, and Taegu. For the Korean bus system, try KakaoBus. If you are looking to use taxis in Korea, Kakao T is a good option.
