Now I can wait for the train on the street and be exactly on the platform, and not breathe 50 degree heat and sweat from the heat in the New York subway

**Developer response:** Yep 👍

**Developer response:** 🔥🔥🔥

### 5/5 — 👍👍👍

*2024-07-07*

This app is a real lifesaver for those lost souls navigating the endless maze of the New York City subway! Now you can not only track the migration of trains like birds in the sky, but also carefully pinpoint your train in the metal ocean of noise. In short, it's a super-duper-cool app that makes the life of a IT-savvy city dweller a little less painful. I recommend it as a must-have gadget on the smartphone of everyone who doesn't want to turn into a madman on the platform in search of their train!

**Developer response:** Thank you 🗽

### 5/5 — better than go🤮gle

*2024-07-07*

This precision must be used in New York with track suspension or inoperability, number one for everyone who lives and uses the New York City subway. Don't waste your time and take advantage of this masterpiece. Also use your ideas and dont scared to hit up owners.

**Developer response:** 🗽❤️

### 5/5 — Exact train arrival times

*2024-07-07*

Amazing apps, When I use MTA or Google maps the time is always wrong, but. My train came in same exact time, each time I used the up. I love it. It’s surprisingly how the MTA and another ups don’t give the actual time of the train, but this up gives the updates each time my train is late, which is the main thing when you use the train to get to work. Thanks to the creator. I

**Developer response:** ❤️

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-07-05*

Thank you for the app! I was always late for my train, but now I can track it in real-time and arrive on time without any stress.

**Developer response:** ☺️❤️

### 5/5 — Best app for NYC

*2024-07-05*

Easy to use. Save your time. In nyc it make sense. You just put your destination in app and it show you all routes. You can see all of trains on the map and be sure that you not delay on it. Really useful!

**Developer response:** Thank you 🔥

### 5/5 — Perfect app

*2024-07-05*

Works much better than others on app store, the way they designed the interface is just a waaaaaay better than any other map.

**Developer response:** Glad to hear, thanks for your support ❤️

### 1/5 — Regard

*2025-04-23*

Not working, just a blank white screen

**Developer response:** Update app please, sorry about this.

### 3/5 — Abuses battery life and persistent location tracking

*2026-01-24*

Even with "only while using" location permission, and background refresh turned off, this app continues to persist in the background, tracking location and using up battery life. Not good. Otherwise, the app is good and useful. Uninstalling though.

### 5/5 — Live track your train

*2026-05-22*

It not light speed accurate, specially underground, its like a minute delay sometimes but it does let you know where the trains are. And you can see if its moving or not. Perfect for when you are on a hurry, hope they add Busses one days, other than that the app is intense on hardware so older phones struggle and drain more battery, which makes sense, an option to only track a single line would be helpful for people with the same route all the time, so its easier for people who struggle with using the transit, my mother struggles using the app as its too much input for her

**Developer response:** Thank you, yes, we will add buses in future and also update the app, we have widget on the screen ☺️🙏

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2026-05-13*

As someone who isn’t from New York, this app has honestly been a lifesaver. After being used to the metro systems in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, navigating the New York subway felt pretty overwhelming at first. But with this app, getting around NYC became easy and stress-free.

The interface is clear, routes are simple to understand, and it gives you the confidence to move around the city without constantly worrying about getting lost or taking the wrong train. It completely changed my experience with the New York subway system.

An absolutely essential app for anyone visiting or newly living in New York. Highly recommended.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much 🗽

### 5/5 — Finally an app which just tells me what I need to know

*2026-01-21*

The entire concept of this app is brilliant. Instead of trying to be a route planner it just tells me what trains are coming. As a regular rider on my daily routes I don’t need to know a novel way to get home, I just need to know whether to get on the Local or wait for an Express.

The new Widget feature is even better. It tells me when the trains are coming at the nearest station without me even needing to open the app!

One request: when set to show both directions of trains there’s nothing to show which are uptown and which are downtown.  I’d actually also like an even bigger widget so as to see more than 2 trains in each direction at the stations with lots of lines.

Update: thanks for the response. What I just realized is I can add a larger widget (which solves my problem) but the menu item to resize existing widgets is greyed out for some reason so I’d wrongly assumed no larger widget existed

**Developer response:** You can add a large widget showing the four closest trains for each direction. You can also long-press the "Edit Widget" button to select just one direction and place two widgets on the screen.

Thank you so much for your feedback 🎉

### 5/5 — That’s good map

*2026-01-19, version 5*

Great map. Thanks to the developers for the ease of use and good optimisation ❤️

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-10-30*

Clear subway map, cool design and the home screen widget makes it even better.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Best

*2025-08-25*

This app makes getting around the NYC subway system so much easier. The interface is clean, simple, and fast—perfect for when you’re underground with limited service. I especially like how it shows multiple route options, live train arrival times, and updates on delays or service changes.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much 😊
