(offline preferably) ### 4/5 — Works pretty well, but the times went missing *2018-09-19, version 1.0.5* The app works great and the interface is simple and easy to use. My only issue is the times have disappeared for my stations in the summary screen for departures and arrivals. When I pick a particular train the times show up, so it seems like the information is there, just not updating. FIX please ### 5/5 — Very easy to use *2017-10-17, version 1.0.4* Great app. Easy for even a Texan to use. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2017-06-15, version 1.0.4* Sleek, simple, and fast. Best LIRR schedule app out there ### 5/5 — Track Assignment-UPDATE *2017-05-23, version 1.0.4* Thanks for taking my suggestions into account. Any chance of getting original arrival time on the arrival screen? Had to tell what time train was due in vs how late it's running. Great updated. Two more suggestions 1- arrivals screen should hold your last searched station. Currently if you close app you need to re-select. 2- arrival screen should keep time train originally supposed to arrive, with updated ETA of arrival in station. Would be great if you didn't have to drill into the train to obtain track information. Should be on initial front page once posted. ### 5/5 — The best! *2017-05-01, version 1.0.1* Absolutely love it. 100% better than the old one I used and I can always count on it for times/routes. Using this forever ### 5/5 — Best LIRR App! *2017-03-29, version 1.0* If you're a commuter or an occasional LIRR rider, you know how annoying all the LIRR app can be. This app uses your location to suggest the closest lirr station! Also, when you have moved and re-started the app it swaps and gives you a reversed stop schedule! I can't tell you how many times the glitchy MTA app has given me the details of my home station, instead of the swapped station. Give this app a try, you won't regret it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Works as well as the railroad....not saying much *2019-06-12, version 1.0.7* Information often wrong and not timely ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2017-08-14, version 1.0.4* No real time capacity. Says "left station" when train is 15 minutes delayed. ### 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 ### 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,. ### 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 ### 3/5 — Doesn’t have train departures listed for the entire day. *2019-01-30, version 1.0.6* It seems like the app only shows LIRR departure times for up to like 2 or 3 hours. The other LIRR app has the train depart and arrival times for the entire day. Also when the LIRR train was held, the app showed wrong info that the train was already in Lynbrook., when it was still in Long Beach. ### 3/5 — Good app but can you possibly do this... *2017-10-09, version 1.0.4* I actually really like this app, but is there any way you can list more than 2 train times once app is opened? Example; I open my app right now (12:10am) and it gives me only 2 train times for Ronk to Penn. in order for me to look up more times I need to manually select day and time I’m looking to leave the station. Would be nice if we open the app and it automatically lists all the train times buy us simpler scrolling up. I hope this makes sense! Thanks :) ### 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. ### 4/5 — Good Resource *2019-01-27, version 1.0.6* Haven’t fully explored the app, but a map of the various lines and stations would be nice, but perhaps I just haven’t discovered that feature yet if it exists. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-07-12, version 1.0.20* Happy i stumbled upon this. ### 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Awesome and Minimalistic *2019-02-14, version 1.0.6* This is all you need for LIRR train times, in a beautiful and ad-free way. LIRR train times, status updates, and an easy to use interface. Simply the best. ### 5/5 — Penn station arrival track *2018-12-03, version 1.0.6* Is there a way to cache the track arrival information for past 10 days of a scheduled train to enable a prediction of arriving train Tracks at penn station? Would help aid in the mad rush to tracks since peak trains tend to stick to same track. ### 5/5 — Great Help *2018-10-19, version 1.0.5* Exact and Very easy to Use and navigate between stations and destinations ### 5/5 — Great *2018-10-16, version 1.0.5* Easy to use and accurate. ### 5/5 — Great app for my commute *2018-08-20, version 1.0.5* Great app for commute Very helpful ### 5/5 — App is awesome *2018-07-11, version 1.0.5* Is great and legible. Will recommend to others traveling to Long Island , NY --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
