I don’t usually even mind ads, but this app is not functional with the amount of advertising.

Commercial content overtakes metro information

The commercial content dwarfs the oath to actual metro information. Very confusing, very annoying

Metro service alerts stopped working

Have used this app for several years. It was the easiest and most accurate tracker for DC Metro until service alerts went missing sometime in the last couple months. No alerts of any type have been showing on the app the last 3 trips to DC. This is an essential feature.
