Kemtro app for Paris Transit

I'm not finding the Kemtro app mentioned in Rick's article: Learning Le Métro: Basic Tips for Paris’ Underground Arteries. Has anyone found it or can you recommend one?

I have never heard of Kemtro, but I use CityMapper daily -- and I have lived here for 16 years. It's superb.

The Kemtro website and app seem dead, since close to 10 years if their facebook page is any indication.
Citymapper is a very good app which has the benefit of being available in many major cities worldwide; the latest version of the RATP app ("Bonjour RATP") is also pretty good - a vast improvement over what was before.

I find the RATP apps/website some of the most poorly organized and confused offerings I have tried to use. Once I started using Citymapper, I deleted all things RATP.

To the poster above: Citymapper is much better than Google Maps at keeping track of service disruptions and actual train/bus times vs. scheduled. At least in Paris.

Googlemaps are fine for walking. They contain very little useful information about public transportation.

Ugh. Our wonderful City Mapper gave me 3+ errors this week. This has never happened before.

An imaginary exit at Concord, an RER station closed for upgrades, suggesting the metro and a 650 meter walk instead of a direct bus 60 meters away.

What's up with this ? This has always been a wonderful app. I love how it tells us which metro car to choose and the exact exit.
