### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2023-12-13, version 1.1.3*

Doesn’t accurately show peak vs off peak. You’ll end up having to pay difference on train if you don’t just double check the primary app for MTA. Might as well just use MTA app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-07-12, version 1.0.20*

Happy i stumbled upon this.

### 1/5 — LIRR

*2021-02-01, version 1.0.17*

this app is difficult to navigate, unable to book a train, will probably delete soon.

### 5/5 — Fantastic up to date tool for commuters

*2020-09-27, version 1.0.13*

I love this app.  It helps so much especially when lines are down.

### 2/5 — Change stations

*2019-12-13, version 1.0.8*

I cannot seem to get the Application to update the stations. Never had this problem no,.

### 4/5 — Great but no live time update

*2019-07-26, version 1.0.7*

The app is great, clean and easy to read!

Only suggestion is it’d be great to have a live time countdown of when the train is leaving from the station. Helps calculate which train is feasible to take.

### 1/5 — Works as well as the railroad....not saying much

*2019-06-12, version 1.0.7*

Information often wrong and not timely

### 5/5 — So far, so good !! 🙏🙏

*2019-05-15, version 1.0.6*

Just got this app. today (05/15/19) so far this has worked great and more importantly, easy to navigate

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-04-01, version 1.0.6*

The service is great Nice people gave good directions, overall Great Experience

### 3/5 — Show schedule for full day

*2019-02-23, version 1.0.6*

Agree with some of the previous posts — please show all departures for a selected day, not a 3 hour window — this leaves me to manually select random times until I can find a train departure
