## What is CrossWalk NYC Lite?

This Lite edition is an ad-supported FREE version of our popular iOS app, CrossWalk HD.

-----------------------
CrossWalk is an interactive MTA subway map, transit guide & cross-street calculator for NYC commuters.

Lets face it: there are multiple New York "map apps" on the appstore - why choose ours?

A) Ever gotten an address like 555 5th ave and been left wondering what the cross street was?  We certainly have.  We've got the solution with our built-in CROSS-STREET CALCULATOR.

B) Felt utterly helpless when your subway line suddenly stops unexpectedly on the weekend and you have to switch to a shuttle bus?  This won't be such a surprise with our support for MTA SERVICE ADVISORIES - and we even cache them so they are available when you are underground.

C) We have great looking, geographically ACCURATE MAPS of the MTA subway system in all 5 boroughs.  Did we mention that our maps LOOK GREAT?  :)

D) You can use this app with one hand - all controls are accessible with the thumb alone.  Double-tapping zooms you in -- or you can use two fingers to pinch for even closer viewing!

E) We are New Yorkers ourselves, we use this app EVERY DAY.

### 2/5 — Crosswalk

*2024-01-31, version 3.2*

I've had this app for years and it's been great. However it's recently developed a problem I cannot fix. Whenever I switch from Avenue to Streets, the app inextricably closes. I've deleted and reinstalled, which was of no significance. Trying to report the problem and get help has been like trying to fix the app!!

### 3/5 — Has promise but falls short, literally

*2018-04-11, version 3.2*

While not nearly as feature-rich as some of its many competitors, this app does have some uncommon elements I appreciate, like the cross-street calculator that decodes Manhattan addresses, and the idea of having its own map that aims to be geographically accurate. 

Yet when they updated that map to include the Second Avenue line, they somehow failed to notice that they were missing the #7 train's extension to 34th St.-Hudson Yards, which predates the Second Avenue line's opening!

This is all the more surprising because the developers claim to be New Yorkers who use the app themselves. I hope they will get back to work and apply the attention to detail the app deserves and requires.

### 1/5 — Don't download.

*2016-05-10, version 3.0*

It gives inaccurate info and the company seems MIA. 
There are other options.

### 1/5 — Does not work wth IOS 8

*2014-09-25, version 2.0*

Freezes on number streets.  Can't seem to contact developer.  Looks like Orpahn ware.

### 1/5 — Don't depend on this App!

*2012-10-21, version 2.0*

I relied on this app this weekend, To my detriment.
Their Service alert stated that the 7 subway train had good service.  When I went to transfer onto the 7 train, the entrance Was roped off.  There was no seven train service in or out of Manhattan.
The alerts arel unreliable and the app is untrustworthy.

### 5/5 — Worked great with my iPhone 4 before I upgraded

*2011-10-18, version 2.0*

Not sure if its the new phone or the new OS.  Wish it would be fixed

### 3/5 — Not up to date

*2010-10-09, version 0*

I really liked this app for finding what train to take in a pinch and for the street/ave finder but I recently realized it's not up to date.  This threw me off until I looked at a real subway map.  There is no longer a V or a W line.  There is a new line which seems to replace the V which is called M.  Please fix this problem and then I'll be able to give it 5 stars.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — fabulous - cant believe its free

*2010-07-28, version 0*

this app is 90% of what you need to get around NYC on the subway.  it doesnt plan routes, but hey - its free!
