### 2/5 — Wrong App

*2023-01-14, version 3.0*

You’re looking for an app called DC Metro and Bus. This is similar just worse.

### 1/5 — First try

*2022-08-05*

I downloaded this app, started  scrolling through and it keeps locking me out. I had to access the app several times, however still can’t be utilized.

### 1/5 — Great potential

*2022-07-15*

The app keeps crashing when scrolling through the bus list (haven’t used the metro part too much); paid to get rid of the ads - and the crashes continue! I have yet to see the P6 because it crashes in the A’s. Very disappointed

### 1/5 — Money down the drain

*2022-07-07, version 3.0*

App closes while searching for bus routes. I can’t navigate to the H routes. I paid for add free, too!

### 1/5 — Simply Does Not Work

*2022-01-08, version 3.0*

Absolutely impossible to pull up bus routes for this thing you get a quote “oops“ error messag every time.The “oops” was on my part for actually paying for this garbage app - there are plenty of other free ones that work much better than this

### 1/5 — So wake

*2021-09-10*

This app does NOT have nothing 
Only have picture of busses and metro but the app IS not working I won’t recommend it at all 
Anything you touch on app asking for money but NOT working at all before pay and after pay

### 1/5 — Not accurate info

*2021-07-17*

I checked ‘near by bus stop’ from 2 blocks from the actual bus stop. App showed ‘There’s no nearby bus stop’
And this app doesn’t even show the actual bus arrival in real time. It’s only showing the original departure bus stop, then we have to figure out what time is the original departure time vs the current time frame. 
Useless app. I wasted $0.99.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t deliver useful info

*2021-06-06*

No DC circulator bus info tho description says the app has it. Can’t search bus stops, so you have to scroll thru hundreds of stops to find the one you want. The Nearby feature doesn’t show you what lines serve the stop or help you navigate to the stop. Totally just wasted money.

### 1/5 — This app is worthless

*2020-10-20, version 2.6*

No good

### 1/5 — Terrible waste

*2020-01-10, version 2.1*

This is an awful app. And font psy for it not to have ads.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother with this app.

*2019-06-03*

The Bus section doesn’t give you any useful information at all. The app map doesn’t show you where you are. Try looking up a 2A bus to see when it’s arriving at your stop. All you get is a bunch of information you don’t need. Try looking up the intersection where you’re waiting for a bus. Don’t bother. Pass this app up in search of a better one.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for the useful feedback. We will be incorporating some of the functions you have mentioned here and improving several other areas.

### 1/5 — Too many disruptive ads

*2024-02-21*

Extremely intrusive ads, I just use the wmata website now and get better information.

### 1/5 — No Search Function

*2023-12-25*

Useless. The only Metrobus I am interested in taking, the E4, is not even listed. And the list of bus stops/routes is disorganized with no search option. I paid $3.99 to remove ads which I wish I could get back. I will be deleting the app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We are actively rebuilding the app from the ground up to be modern, more useful, and stable.

### 1/5 — Does Not Work with iOS 17, iPhone 15

*2023-11-22, version 3.0*

App is totally useless. It crashes every time I try to use it.  I paid for the ad free version and unable to get a refund.

### 1/5 — Metro Bus and Rail App

*2023-06-06, version 3.0*

Works poorly and slow

### 1/5 — No Search Function

*2023-05-11*

Useless. The only Metrobus I am interested in taking, the E4, is not even listed. And the list of bus stops/routes is disorganized with no search option. I paid $3.99 to remove ads which I wish I could get back. I will be deleting the app.

### 1/5 — Disappointed traveler

*2023-05-09*

The new version of the old app is much less user-friendly: it is unwieldy, takes longer to navigate and find your particular bus, number,  and - most importantly - does not show buses on route in real time ( the feature that was present in the old version), so one doesn’t know whether he/she just missed the bus or the bus is late.  Please bring this feature back!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-05-06, version 3.0*

This app is awful. You cannot add to favorites. You cannot add stops that are close but “not nearby”. Waste of money and time. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — No good

*2023-04-06*

This app is unusable.  They force you to down load chrome.   If you don’t they charge you.   I couldn’t even search for my route.    Zero stars.  Awful. Ruined!

### 1/5 — Mala app

*2022-12-10, version 3.0*

Mala cuando lo instale se fue de la app multiple ceses mala app para mi

### 1/5 — Impossible to search

*2022-09-27*

No discernible way to search for a particular route other than scrolling through dozens of routes and then the app boots you out. Very frustrating.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-01-04*

Easy to use & simple

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-12-31, version 4.0*

Helpful to plan metro trips and bus rides.

### 5/5 — Navigating dc

*2019-06-07*

This app does have all the stuff it says it does but there is a lot of room for improvement. Some parts are buggy but five stars as it hasn’t been a big deal for me personally.

**Developer response:** Hi there, we appreciate the kind words - thank you!

### 4/5 — Bus

*2019-01-31, version 1.1.5*

Muy buena aplicación ayuda mucho gracias

### 3/5 — I could not find a map

*2023-11-14, version 3.0*

I could not find a map

### 3/5 — Not intuitive

*2021-07-02, version 2.9*

App is not intuitive

### 3/5 — Not easy to understand!

*2019-10-29*

Difficult to navigate.  I like the earlier version better .

### 2/5 — When are you going to update WMATA bus routes and names

*2025-07-14, version 4.1.2*

When are you going to update WMATA bus routes and names

### 2/5 — Map incorrect

*2024-12-23*

The map view is missing some stations. Not intuitive enough to use for route planning.

### 2/5 — No info on bus line to PotomacYards

*2024-05-27*

The App has useful live time for trains at my Home station (Potomac Yards) but no info on my bus line (36A/B DASH) that serves it, so I still need another App for that, which makes this redundant. In fairness, my other App w/ great bus live updates for my hood is lousy on MetroRail interactive, real time data. So my search continues for the One App that will do it all for someone who lives near Potomac Yards in NoVA and goes in/out of DC. Bummer that this is not the One!
