Effective and simple
I don’t know why this app isn’t more popular. It’s simple and sufficient if you already know generally how to get around. You get a quick glimpse on all nearby train options and when the next train is so you can make a snap decision as to how you want to go.
And there’s a tab for you to see if there are train delays or changes - saves time from clicking into the MTA website. It is a little hard to see the message sometimes when it’s super long because all the sentences flow together without any sectioning to separate out the stops that are affected.
And I’m really happy about the addition of the maps. Now I don’t have to use NextStop (my other train app) to check for alternatives.

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback! I definitely agree with you about the long train statuses. That’s next on my list of things to try to improve. The MTA distributes those statuses in a fairly developer-unfriendly way, but other apps parse them to be more readable than my app does. So, it’s doable; I just need to spend the time to do it. Thanks, again!

Great app for visitors too!
This is a fantastic app. I'm not a New Yorker, but it came in extremely handy on my recent visit to the Big Apple. Great interface and very intuitive. Now, if the MTA gets its act together and offers real time countdowns for all trains!
