Review of metra app
App is sluggish. Does not load outside of my house like it use to And is always searching to upload. It is no good unless I run it in the morning before I go to work. Who has the time? I use to run it anywhere Now it only shows me the schedule if I upload it before I leave home. Not as good as it was last Summer.Show lessEPArider
Easy to use
I have taken Metra rarely in my life. Sorry folks, my work has never been within 5 miles of a Metra station and it would be too long and costly to use it for work. However, I have started using Metra to go to events downtown. I found this app on the app store before a recent trip. It is easy to use, intuitive, and has useful features to remind you about your train schedule even when you are not thinking about it. I knocked one star off because I would like to buy tickets through the app. Other than through the conductor, Metra makes it hard to get tickets. The ticket app is horrible and this would be a logical app in which to buy them.Show lessRCHeliguy
Annoying Pop-Over Ads Ruined App
I’ve been using this app for years as a quick reference for upcoming train times when I can’t take the usual trains. One of the recent updates added a pop-over ad that completely blocks the information you need. While running for a train, trying to see how fast you need to be, the last thing I need is to contend with this pop over. A banner ad would be fine. I took a look at the Ventra app for schedules. It provides the same features of count downs and favorites. I’ll be using that now.Show lessSenSachen
Too many disruptive ads
I have regularly used this app as my go to for quick schedule checks. The new version has tons of pop up ads which impede my ability to quick check a schedule. It takes longer for ad to go away or be able to close it than it does to check the schedule. This development shows no understanding of how the app is actually used. I will probably stop using it and just use the Ventra app instead as a result.Show lessupnwrider
Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback, free version of the app is supported by ad, please note that there is a premium option for a nominal yearly fee of $4.99. We will be looking into the ads showing frequency and limited it to ensure uninterrupted usage for schedules.Never accurate info
The app gets updated to say a train is late but the locater says the train is where it's supposed to be. Is it not possible to show the actual stop the train is at? When a train is late it would be nice to see the train moving in the app rather than simply going by the scrolling delay messageFrazierj1
Does not give live information or service alert on time
The train UP-NW 640 was delayed for 30 mins. Neither there was an alert on time not the live information showed correct location of the train.
The train stops continued to progress on the app even though the train was stopped at a particular stop. Sync with live information is not correct.frustatedpassenger
Great app!!!!

Crap.
I’m extremely confused why I can’t purchase train tickets on the metra app. Seems like That should of been the first thing programed on a passenger train app. I will say I appreciate it always being up to date but it’s extremely annoying have to go to the website if I want to get a ticket. Just put it all in one place. I also don’t u defat and why attendants are the stations are never there past 2 and passengers get charged extra for that. Blows my mind.Show lesslil' yellow
Great app
I have been using this app for a number of years and I love the up to date info or latest updates. Have recommended this app to everyone I know who takes metra.

Good for schedule and that’s about it
This app keeps is a great train schedule and is awesome for looking up various train times quickly based on where you want to go. Anything else it offers is practically useless. Its train tracking and check in in real time is useless. In fact, it is extremely dishonest about train locations. For example, my train is 5 min late right now and the app says it’s already 3 stops away. A good app but far from a great one.Show lessWhentheMusic'sOver26
