Ads

Just Ads. I can’t even close out of the ads after they’re done and have to force close the app.

Ads are too long

The ads are way too long, sometimes over a minute or two each. You can’t even close out of them once they’re done. You have to force quit and reopen the app to see the bus times.

The ads are infuriating

This app requires you to view multiple pop-up ads before accessing any useful information, so this is horrible in time sensitive situations (e.g., rushing to catch the bus in the morning).

Horrible user experience with ads

Too many ads

Lots of invasive ads, I had trouble finding information I was looking for

Ads are way too long

Ads are so long and hard to exit out of that it can set you behind when trying to find out when a bus or train is arriving

Shouldnt have ads…

Sucks

Garbage with ads

Trash app. Has disabling pop ups. So if you’re in a rush and need the metro map a nice pop up is there to basically make you force close the app and start over with probably another pop up waiting. Avoid this trash.

Ads make app completely pointless

The benefit of an app like this is to quickly check the status of a bus or train, yeah? Except the ad that loads upon opening takes just about as long to wait and click (multiple times btw) through than the 6 min headways between trains. Not even worth the storage space on your device at that point.

App Felt Scammish

There was no account/subscription info within the app, showing subscription status or renewal date, or any instructions on how to cancel.

Trash

Trash pushing customers to paying for a service

This apps inclusion of ads is ridiculous

Every single time you open this app the first thing you see is a pop up to buy the premium account for the app. Then you have to sit through at least 2 ads before you get to the information you came to see. It’s just the metro, chill with the capitalism.

Unnecessary “advertising”

Why should those who can’t afford to purchase the full app have to see advertisements for games, etc. when we have to know right away when our bus comes before we miss it? It’s poor timing and poorly designed for this app when we have to catch the bus/rail and these advertisements pop up, then we can’t delete until it’s finished playing…. When we should be catching our public transit service.

So bad

Always trying to get me to pay extra.

Predatory Ads to push you to buy a subscription to remove said Ads

Clocked 2 Advertisement Videos at over 1min 30secs each before I’m even able to close or move to page with bus info. developers know what they are doing. Predatory and trash. Delete….

Ads make it unuasae

I Understand the need to make money if you need ads, allow their user to get through the ads the ads as they are written now make it impossible to use the app.
I would buy the app if I could, but I do not want to pay for another subscription as I hardly would use this

Aggressive pop ups make it impossible to use

Every time I tried to navigate from one page to another, long video pop up ads ran and I’d have to wait until it finished, wait until an x appeared faintly so I could move on. Useless. Deleted it.

Very Misleading Thanks to Ads

I understand app developers need advertisers for funding, but this app is outrageously full with ads that will trick you into choosing the marketing links before you find what you need. The information in this app is very valuable, but before you reach the desired content, you have to go through so many marketing links. It is impossible not to click on these links even if you use this app regularly. They deliberately make dood links almost invisible and with extremely small letters on corners that I find very challenging.

Too Many Pop Up Ads

It’s impossible to use efficiently and quickly due to the innumerable pop up ads. One pop up per log in is enough. A pop up ad with every shift in the same session is way too much.

terrible

much like the dc metro itself. this once was a good app but now too much lagging and ads
