This is the app you must have created by a passionate longtime fellow commuter. I couldn’t commute without it. ### 5/5 — Perfect for my daily commute to the city! *2022-01-15* I have to commute to the city by train (NJTransit) and this app has been a life saver! I can now monitor train delays, tracks, but also get (and share) updates from fellow commuters. Love it! **Developer response:** We appreciate your support and your feedback. Thanks for being a part of the community. ### 5/5 — Great Resource *2022-01-15, version 6.1.1* As anyone who commutes on NJT through NYP will attest having the ability to know which track is the most likely for your train is great! ### 5/5 — Clever is the best! *2022-01-15, version 6.1.1* An indispensable tool if you commute … you can get alerts in real time, so much faster than alerts from NJT. Plus, developer is great. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-01-15, version 6.1.1* Super helpful for commuting altho improvements in NJT app make clever commute a bit less needed. ### 5/5 — John McC24 *2022-01-15, version 6.1.1* A great resource fo any NYC-area commuter. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-01-11, version 6.1.1* If you commute to NYC you should be using this app. Crowd-sourced info at its best! ### 5/5 — An invaluable tool for any commuter! *2022-01-10, version 6.1.1* I use CC every time that I commute in/out of NYC and it never fails to be helpful. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Indispensable *2022-01-10* If you commute via public transit in NYC region then you NEED this app. Even if you’re not commuting daily you will find this app indispensable. It provides info timely and from sources not elsewhere available (crowd sourced) and regularly saves the commuter time, money and frustration. **Developer response:** So nice to see that you are happy with the product. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-01-10* Gets you an alert sent by fellow commuters within seconds, way before LIRR sends out alert. You also get the viewpoint of commuter on train not canned message of police activity and impact The track predict feature is very helpful and when i use atlantic and i am in subway underpass which doesn’t have master track screen i know which set of steps to go to. **Developer response:** Awesome. Thank you for sharing that. I'm a commuter, too, so I know how important it is to have good data. Stay safe in these crazy times. ### 5/5 — Clever Commute a very handy app *2022-01-10, version 6.1.1* This is a great tool for commuters to NYC. It blends info from NJ Transit with crowd sourcing to give you up to the minute info on the trains. ### 5/5 — It has been a valuable tool for years *2022-01-10, version 6.1.1* I’ve used this for over a decade now, both for train and bus commutes. The time saved is immeasurable. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t create account *2026-06-26, version 11.0.2* Account creation not working/greyed out ### 1/5 — Cannot create account *2026-05-19, version 11.0.2* All signs up fields are entered. The Create New Account button is still disabled. ### 1/5 — Does Not Work *2026-04-28, version 11.0.2* No Matt how I try cannot to get an email to finalize set up of my account ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-07-23, version 10.0* I have really tried with this app but it’s unusable. You have to go into your settings if you want to change your route and the “departure board” feature doesn’t match the actual departure board at the station. And they want to charge you $50 a year for “premium.” No thanks ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-10-26, version 9.1.4* After a recent update, i got logged out and now the app wont let me log back in. Entered my email into the “forgot password” but no response. ### 1/5 — App only shows me Babylon Branch *2019-04-10, version 3.3.6* No matter what I do, it only shows me the Babylon branch. I use Port Jefferson only. Weird bug. I would pay the premium service in a heartbeat if it actually worked ### 1/5 — Pathetic app waste of time *2017-10-20, version 2.5.1* Do not waste your time. Not only is this app completely useless and void of any useful information or functionality, but you will waste 10 min of your life trying to set up an account before you able to see how pathetically bad this app is. ### 2/5 — Great concept *2024-12-16, version 9.3.1* Great concept, but annoying to configure. The developer needs a product manager ### 3/5 — Crashes upon opening app *2026-01-22, version 10.5.9* Crashing upon opening app. Iphone 16 pro max 18.6.2 ### 3/5 — Crashing issue *2025-09-06, version 10.5.1* This app keeps crashing on me. I've redownloaded it a few times and it hasn't helped :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — . *2025-12-23, version 10.5.5* . ### 5/5 — Don’t leave home without it! *2025-08-15* As an NJT commuter for nearly 20Y, I’ve been using this as a premium user for nearly that long. Far better than the “official” notifications. As fellow commuters know, we need every single edge to deal with NJT ### 5/5 — He’s One of Us *2025-08-13, version 10.5.1* Created by a fellow commuter who knows what we go through each day. This app eases the pain Especially love the VENT feature because sometimes it’s nice to know you’re not alone❤️ ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2025-08-13* This app has come in so handy when NJT “implodes” and you need boots on the ground info. Alerts are tagged to specific trains - so you know if you are affected or not. The premium service / track prediction removes the stress of waiting at Penn. ### 5/5 — Proven solid through many years of use *2025-08-13* I’ve used this for years now. Useful to know when there’s trouble brewing with the commute. Equally useful when you go to dinner or a pub to avoid train trouble in that you can figure out when you can have a stress free trip home. **Developer response:** Welcome back to the commute :( Thanks for the reivew. I hope you have seen that I'm always re-investing in the product. I'm an everyday commuter...so I benefit as well! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2022-01-18, version 6.1.1* This app is invaluable to my commute! Especially helpful when trying to determine if bus or train is better choice! ### 5/5 — Better than NJT alerts *2022-01-18, version 6.1.1* Great app often get alerts before NJT ### 5/5 — Fills the void *2022-01-16, version 6.1.1* This app does what NJT fails to do. This gives you real time reports of problems and situations and how they are progressing. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-01-16, version 6.1.1* App was developed by someone who commutes to NYC daily and gets it. Timely information and great communication ### 5/5 — especially now when other options are limited *2022-01-15, version 6.1.1* always helpful ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
