User reviews

Impossible to remove the ads

This app is has apps that won’t let you skip the ads or pass the ads in a way. A metro and bus scheduler app should not waste the time of users who need to know quickly when a bus arrives with ads. It is impossible to skip or remove the META app. It’s really a shame. I recommend that WMATA Rail and Bus reconsiders their ads strategy and decisions.

Terrible now

So many ads and spammy pops now. Delayed track info. Used to be gooda couple of years ago. Terrible now

Too many ads/ can’t access content

I understand we need ads for a free app. The issue is when the ads literally prevent you from accessing the content - whether due to inability to find the exit button on the ad or the ad literally blocks you. This can result in missing trains, busses, etc. using the trip planner while traveling when you can’t access which train you’re supposed to be on and the doors are closing before you

Almost unusable

The ads in the app completely often block all Metro content and many cannot be closed or navigated around. A recent ad for Muse prevents any use of the app.

Terrible

The ads on the app are insufferable and oftentimes make the app unusable. You will try to pull up the map or time table and it takes you to ads in which you can’t skip through.
