### 5/5 — The only app you need!

*2026-06-05, version 1.2*

For years, I have lamented that the dc metro does not have a single app that does it all — provide metro times in a simple interface that doesn’t require 5 minutes of scrolling through stations or clicking through ads. Enter DC Metro ETA.  It’s a beautiful, clean interface that uses the metro map that we all know and love. No scrolling to find stations, no glitchiness, no ads. Just pure convenience. This is incredible!!

### 5/5 — Great App keeping it simple.

*2026-06-05, version 1.2*

I just downloaded/installed and I like it. It’s a no-nonsense app that does the job telling you when your next train will be there with accurate clear ETA mirroring the displays at stations. There’s talk about doing this for buses too but that best goes with its own app. Metro trains and the buses are different animals.

### 5/5 — The greatest

*2026-06-05, version 1.2*

Best and simplest app

### 5/5 — This is THE app

*2026-06-05, version 1.2*

With the addition of the widget, this is has become a super valuable addition to my screen. At a glance, I see what trains are closest, and can make a decision to hurry up, or be leisurely.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-06-02, version 1.1*

So fast!

### 5/5 — Use it daily

*2026-06-02, version 1.1*

Ever since the wmata site updated to make it take multiple clicks to get to a station and also removed train lengths, I was getting so frustrated not being able to see the status as I walked in. This brings that back, and also defaults to your nearest station, which makes total sense since I only check it when I’m walking to/waiting in a station. I’ve already recommended it to several people!

### 5/5 — Best Metro App Ever

*2026-06-01, version 1.0*

Just discovered this app. THANK YOU! It has exactly what I needed. I will be recommending to all of my friends in DC and anyone visiting the city!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-05-31, version 1.0*

Simple Design and great functionality. Great app! Being able to add a widget to the home screen would be my only suggestion

### 5/5 — Exactly What I Need!

*2026-05-28, version 1.0*

As a daily commuter, this app is exactly what I need! A quick way to know when my next train is coming, so I know if I have to hurry up or not. It’s uncomplicated, no searching for lines or stops, which is so nice when you just want quick and easy information. I love that it’s on the metro map too, very nice touch!

### 5/5 — The essential tool for DC transit commuters

*2026-06-28, version 1.3.2*

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.

### 5/5 — THE BEST DC METRO LIVE APP

*2026-06-28, version 1.3.2*

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!)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-27, version 1.3.2*

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.

### 5/5 — Elegant

*2026-06-19, version 1.3.2*

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

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-06-10, version 1.2*

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!

### 5/5 — Very intuitive!!

*2026-06-09, version 1.2*

The metro map is one of the best parts of the app in addition the real time widgets. It’s so easy to choose the different stations! Also, no bloat or ads.

### 5/5 — The Go To

*2026-06-07, version 1.2*

Unbelievably beautiful, simple, snappy app - I use it everyday now!

### 5/5 — Just what you need.

*2026-06-07, version 1.2*

Incredible how simple easy fast this is to see the next train. Why was metro’s app so much more complicated.

### 5/5 — Widgets

*2026-06-06, version 1.2*

Amazingly perfect widgets. The app is great, of course, but the widgets just take this over the top as my favorite Metro tracking app. And I’ve used a lot!

### 5/5 — Must have app!

*2026-06-06, version 1.2*

Simply wonderful. Fast, accurate, gorgeous, and FREE?! Amazing app.
