LA Metro Watch Transit App User Reviews

Top reviews

Not iOS 13.0 Compatible

Never updated. Does not show up in iOS 13.0 Setting

Close but no cigar

It’s often off by a couple of minutes. Which isn’t a problem... up until you realize that the bus left a couple minutes before you arrived and when it was supposed to.

Quite Accurate

I’ve only used this a few times while waiting for the bus, but each time, the accuracy has been amazing. Accurate to the minute, in fact. Makes my wait less stressful as I can be on my phome without constantly looking for the bus.

Utterly unreliable

This app purports to track the actual buses. It does not. It “tracks” where the buses are supposed to be, not where they are. I don’t think MTA has gps on its buses. And if they do, they’re too embarrassed to share because it will reveals how fundamentally deplorable this bus system truly is. MTA causes me to be late almost every day. The fact of MTA is an argument against public transportation. It’s a total shame.

Response from developer

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Metro Watch. The app uses data provided by the MTA but it is not affiliated with it. Unfortunately, there is not much that I can do about the accuracy of data provided on the app. If you would like MTA to know about these issues, please report to them directly. Thank you!

ACCURATE AND RELIABLE

I’ve been using this app for two years now and still going. You won’t regret downloading this app trust me for real.

Very good live bus map

It has all the routes. I use this whenever I need to use public transit in LA.

Great app for the bus rider

Great time reminders, seems to be highly accurate. Great coverage as well.

The worst

Don’t pretend to know times...admit when your site has no idea. So frustrating

Not useful for finding metro trains

I wanted to ride the LA metro train lines. This app either does not show metro trains or merges them with all the bus lines. Once I asked it to find route near me it locked onto the bus line and did not show the metro train station or lines that were one block away. I ultimately got help from street person. You can add routes but no way to tell which are train lines. You’d think with name like it would help with Metro trains
