### 5/5 — Get the new card

*2026-02-17, version 4.10.0*

Senior citizen

### 5/5 — Simple and great

*2025-06-29, version 4.10.0*

It’s really simple and great - please update it! :)

### 1/5 — Horrible. Missing basic features

*2024-11-28, version 4.10.0*

It’s amazing an app this poor could be released these days. For example, looking to provide scheduling for friends arriving into SFO this evening, the app will only tell me departures scheduled imminently - there’s no obvious way in the app to explore departures at a later time in the day. Ridiculous!!

Also, I can’t do a search for SFO. It has to be spelled out San Francisco.

### 5/5 — The most loving app, but needs serious update

*2024-11-05, version 4.10.0*

I love this app forever and has been my most favorite until today, but just realized it was never updated since last four whole years ago and many things changed so far.

Please kindly update with new BART stations such as Berriessa and many more to allow us look up new stations and schedules in real time.

I honestly, prefer this over OFFICIAL BART app

Thank you

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2024-07-13, version 4.10.0*

I don’t commute anymore, but when I did, this was indispensable!

### 1/5 — Needs a major update

*2023-05-30, version 4.10.0*

This app needs a major update because it’s not showing all the no stops like Berryessa which is new and not shown on this app. Fix it please!! Had to delete cuz it wasn’t showing all stops! This app has not had any updates for over 3 years!!

### 1/5 — Do Not Buy!

*2023-05-27, version 4.10.0*

This app does not include the two BART stations in Milpitas and San Jose. RIDICULOUS WASTE!!

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2023-02-13, version 4.10.0*

Seems to not work anymore maybe needs update after various IOS updates or BART made a server change ?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-01-23, version 4.10.0*

No way (I can find) to remove favorite routes. The routes I have never have any schedules anymore. 

This app is completely broken. Should be removed from the App Store.

### 3/5 — This app was 5 stars…

*2023-01-13, version 4.10.0*

The app had a great run, and I used it without issue for many years. Alas, the Easy Bart app has finally been deprecated, it appears that both the “schedule  trip” feature and the “real time departure” feature are not working. I just showed up to a Bart station, and this app said a train was departing, but there wasn’t one, and upon checking the Bart website, the train had been cancelled. Goodbye easy Bart app, you will be missed!

UPDATE! - even though the real-time departures don’t work anymore and they haven’t added the new San Jose station, I find myself still using the app because the map feature is so clutch. 

Solid app, I hope they update it!
