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.

Only Ads no information

Just deleted the app. After the past week i get Ads that never complete or complete but then the app cant display any train info. Its better to guess the train schedule then use this worthless app.

THE ADS ARE INSANE

MTA is a public service so the amount to ads that you can get out of to see information is disgusting

Way too many ads

Too many ads

Too Many Ads

Having pop up ads every time you click on a different metro stop is ridiculous. Has become unusable.

Impossible to use now

Used to be a great app but now there’s so many ads it’s impossible to use. Also doesn’t have alerts on it anymore? Which makes 0 sense. I guess you have to pay to make the app useable in any sense which is not right.

Just Deleted

This app used to be pretty handy but it’s so bogged down with forced ads now I can no longer use it.

Seriously

Run ads for a transit map?

Horrible ads friction

For an app that is providing time sensitive transit information, cause a long delay and block is said information makes the difference btwn being late and being on time. The whole ads design should be revamped to make this app useful

Too many ads

It’s got great information, but you have to close so many ads!

Ads are annoying

Most intrusive and annoying ads

Terrible user experience

Too many ads/popups.

Shameless use of ads

Garbage app that uses minute long ads or ads with no time limit and no exit button. You're basically telling people there's no limited free option. I wouldn't waste my money on the premium version of an app that uses such sleazy tactics. Would give -5 stars if I could.

Use the Moovit app instead

I use Moovit & it’s always accurate this app is not

Too many ads

The ads are preventing my ability to use this app.

Ads

I had this app for many years! But it’s WAAY too many ads now. I don’t have time trying to close out ads while I’m trying to look at my bus/train. Fix this!
