An indispensable tool. The only review I’ve ever written.
The app is exactly what I’ve been looking for for years! But with the G train being closed for the next couple months, I only wish it included bus times. Since the buses tend to be a lot more irregular, an app offering that info would be invaluable.
It would be nice to be able to search for stations by name (or on a map) when planning trips that involve transfers, but that would add a lot of complexity and I appreciate the simplicity of the concept. Well done!
The app identifies the closest subway stations and tells you the next arrivals for trains in each direction. Genius! You can also add it as a Home Screen Widget and either show the arrivals for the nearest station or a pinned station. The Locked Screen Widget shows the arrivals for the nearest station.
My only wish would be to be able to pin a few stations and then have the Locked Screen Widget show the nearest station out of those pre-selected options. For example, there are 5 subway stations near my home, but the station I use to commute is not the nearest one. The Widget does show me my commuting station once I walk in that direction. But it would be nice to have a way to tell the App to ignore the other stations and show me the one I need when I am home. And the one I use to get back when I am near work, etc.
I don’t normally leave reviews but I just wanted to say how much I love this app. The design is simple and it loads incredibly fast. I recommend it to everyone I know in NYC.
Wonderful little app for an everyday need, much faster to use than generic travel apps, clean display of information, and with live updates as a flourish. Great work.
Hi, I was looking for a transit app that supported pinned station departure times in widgets, found this and love it.
I’d also love the option to choose downtown or uptown arrival times, as I rarely use the downtown option at my local station, and since it serves two lines, the widget information can get too busy to be able to read quickly. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion! I just added this feature to pinned widget configuration.Here does a good job of showing next train departures from the closest stations to you.
The only problem is the app sometimes has trouble updating your location, so it thinks you’re there instead of… here.
I now have a screen on my phone that shows me everything I need when I wake up for work. And only on the days that I need to wake up for work thanks to the focus modes.
Beautiful and snappy UI. All the information clearly presented, with no cruft. Great work!
The one missing feature is the ability to show all trains in a particular direction (or failing that, all trains) using the pinned station widget. The pinned station widget requires you to choose a line, but my commute involves getting the first uptown train from a particular station, regardless of line.
Developer Response
Thanks for the positive review!
Actually, the line selection for the pinned widget is just to help organize the stations. All trains at the selected station, regardless of line, will be shown! I'll make the UI more clear, and I'm planning to add the option to exclude certain lines as well.
