What is the point?

This app is pointless. The only advantage over the hyperdia website would be voice search but that is too hit and miss to be of any use. I thought It was because of my non-native Japanese pronounciation/intonation but when I asked a Japanese colleague to try they also got bad results. Surely Hitachi know this, so why even release it? I cant believe anyone would pay money for this software as it is. They should either just make a mobile page of the website, or make a simple, free offline app with the same function as the website.
