Just bad
I’m surprised this is the official app for Chicago metra, it’s bogged down with terrible performance and a ton of ads. How isn’t there a free metra app with updated information? The updates given hardly ever reflect actual timeframes. This app is quintessential Chicago transit; corrupt and having money go into the pockets of executives/administration over workers, new equipment/technologies.
Update: I take the train 5-7 days of the week, since I’ve posted this review my trained has honestly been delayed 50 percent of the time, and not by a couple minutes, rather 10-15. Two weeks ago our train was stuck at a red light for 30 minutes. Metra is corrupt and by using an app that has ads is a prime exampleShow lessjman318
Perfect Ap for train schedule.
No more digging out the paper schedule. Instant information at your fingertips along with delay info. Perfect for what it does.frstearns
Lots of great useful features
Well designed and very useful. I especially like the dynamic tool that displays the current arrival time of a given train, taking into account current delays. This feature is practical and allows me to plan if I am picking someone up at a station or prepping dinner.RobbyG4307
Useless and slow
The first thing I noticed about this particular app and related apps is that it will not hold the transit times after you close the app even if you immediately reopen it. It takes 2 to 3 minutes to download all of the train times. This is unnecessary and frustrating.
Next is the fact that it will not accommodate travels that switch lines such as purple to red. It simply says That no such connection is possible. This is unfortunate. Other programs clearly accommodate train switches. It’s unbelievable that this company would produce so many inferior products.Show lessGopher4567
Best App!!
This app is super easy to use. 100% accurate. They’re not interested in selling you anything just getting you the info you need as quickly as possible. It’s a life saver. Great job! Highly recommend download it whether you commute every day or even just on the weekends. Smart people who take the train need this!Show lessDavid the Wedding Band Leader
Works well
Define favorite station pairs and one click to check reverse direction. Perfect. I have six pairs defined for 3 lines to downtown Chicago, with couple of stations on each line. Works perfect to check exact time, figure out if I should go to next station if earlier station is cutting too close etc.BomBayMan

Great Asset for the Daily User
Easy to read grid. Loads quickly. Usually accurate in real time. Ability for multiple favorites, and on different lines. Well worth the $5/year for every day riders.Buyer guy
Good App
The app is good for giving you the schedule. I’m looking forward to real-time updates as they would be a welcome addition.SpeedAngel63
