The essential tool for DC transit commuters

The app is an absolute game-changer for navigating the DC area. I love the clean, Metro-themed aesthetic, and it is brilliant how it displays times exactly as they appear on station platforms. The ability to geolocate and instantly show information for the nearest station makes it incredibly useful for someone like me who combines cycling with transit. Being an independent project built with WMATA data, it is a well-deserved five-star tool. If you rely on the Metro, you need this app.

THE BEST DC METRO LIVE APP

THE BEST DC METRO LIVE APP SINCE 2009!!!!

I have used all the apps for DC Metro!
THIS IS THE BEST, FASTEST AND SMALLEST!!!

To Developer:
MAKE APP FOR DC BUSES TOO!
(GTFS should be available!)

Great app

The app is great with the feature of knowing the next train time with a single click. I was at Dulles airport and I could plan my walk to metro based on the time. Definitely recommend for users who take metro.

Elegant

Beautiful app that works so well. A joy to use with easy access to the nearest station and the whole map.

Perfect!

This app is exactly what I needed! I used to have a bunch of shortcuts to Metro’s next train pages for various stations that I frequently use, but those quit working with Metro’s new website redesign. The new site is slower and requires so many clicks to get to the same station ETA details. This app is clean, simple, and quick to use. Just tap a station on the system map to see upcoming train times. No clutter, no trip planner that I don’t need because I already know where I’m going; just a fast, easy way to get to the estimates for each station with a clean, appealing design. I love it!
