It has no instructions. When I am finally able to find my local bus stop all I get is a picture of a bus. No information about which bus routes are available. Nothing that even remotely looks like the photo from the app description. I just want to get from here to there but this app is useless n **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Please be sure to upgrade to the latest version of the app in the App Store. ### 2/5 — A lot of outdated information *2025-03-13, version 1.0.14* This app looks like it hasn’t been updated in quite a long time. There are routes that are either discontinued, transitioned to other agencies, and/or changed as of recently. ### 1/5 — App does not work *2025-03-12, version 1.0.14* This app needs a major update. Nothing works. ### 1/5 — UPDATE YOUR ROUTES!!! *2025-02-18, version 1.0.14* Metro calls the bus that runs along Magnolia the 94. Y’all been calling it the 183. Metro changed it FOUR YEARS AGO! ### 1/5 — What does this app offer? *2025-01-07, version 1.0.14* I click on nearby and it gives me A map of The United States of America. I click on the RAIL station I want to go to and it just shows a picture of a bus. How do I buy a ticket? ### 1/5 — What is this Metro app supposed to do? *2024-12-27, version 1.0.14* Because it does… exactly nothing. ### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work *2024-11-19, version 1.0.14* I click on the buss stop and instead of showing me the bus times the page turns blank ### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work *2024-11-15, version 1.0.14* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Nothing seems to work *2024-10-31, version 1.0.14* None of the features listed seem to work properly. My connection is up and running and my phone is up to date. The developers page has no way to get in touch with them. The “nearby” option shows a map of the entire world. It’s like, what???? Choosing a specific bus line shows a picture of a bus, and nothing more. Useless. Obviously, something is wrong, but with no way of contacting the developer, I can’t troubleshoot. Terrible. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2024-09-23, version 1.0.14* This app has zero functionality. It's simply a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Idk what’s happening *2024-08-31, version 1.0.14* One of the most glitchy apps I have used ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-08-30* I downloaded the app to see the “real-time” arrival of the Metro Rail in my area. It uses the outdated color scheme instead of the letters that Metro assigned to each rail line. Then the stations disappear after you select one of the rail lines. Tried restarting the app. Nothing. Restarted my cellphone. Nothing. Deleted the app and downloaded it again. Same problem. I’ve never seen a worse app for the iPhone. Did a five-year old who took a summer coding class develop it? It’s permanently deleted now. ### 1/5 — Bad news *2024-08-29, version 1.0.14* I am blind, so I use the voiceover software and this app is totally not accessible which given the fact that it’s an app for the public transportation, I’m quite surprised. It’s totally useless. ### 1/5 — Useless app. *2024-08-29, version 1.0.14* Can’t bring up routes or schedules. NOT user friendly and NOT useful at all. The app. is a joke. ### 1/5 — APP is 2 years since last update? BADLY IN NEED of UPDATE or REMOVAL *2024-08-16, version 1.0.14* App say server not reachable, station show fort time you open . Once you click A/Blue line, got to B/Red line come back to A No stations. No status information. Just use “TAP LA” App, forget this one….You load $ & times are shown. ### 1/5 — I don’t get it. *2024-08-08* Pretty sure this is the worst app I’ve ever interfaced with. I don’t see how it can help anyone get to where they need to be on the train. It’s a major metropolitan area, why can’t our transport system information tech be in this century? I will delete it as soon as I am done writing this sentence. ### 1/5 — Time arrivlng *2024-07-29, version 1.0.14* I can’t get my arrive times to show. ### 1/5 — Very outdated *2024-07-18, version 1.0.14* Basically just a map app with outdated line colors and letters. Better to just use Apple or Google maps. ### 1/5 — Outdated *2024-07-16, version 1.0.14* Outdated information on the Metro trains. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam app *2026-07-11* Scam. This app randomly takes money from me with no option to cancel, even though the “free trial” comes with a promise to “cancel any time”. Having never subscribed, this app steals your money without your consent and continues to offer a free trial while inundating you with ads. This app is a complete scam and should be removed from the App Store. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-06-04, version 3.1.8* App is full Of ads. Unusable. ### 1/5 — This app is a scam *2026-04-30, version 3.1.8* I get $5 monthly charges after a free trial. Customer service can’t help cancel the alleged subscription and it doesn’t show up in my Apple subscriptions either. But I get dinged $5 every month. ### 1/5 — So many ads it’s unusable *2026-04-29, version 3.1.8* With the amount of tax dollars this state generates there’s no reason to be spamming more ads than a damn free to play game. There was construction and I wanted to look up alternative routes since I usually use Google Maps and this app made me crash out so hard. Ad after ad and ads for premium. Like excuse me sir I’m taking the bus at 1:35 am cause I’m Broke as hell. You think I can afford premium to look at fooken bus routes? Killin me smalls ### 1/5 — Full of ads and unusable *2026-04-05, version 3.1.8* Too many ads ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-04-03, version 3.1.8* See title ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2025-12-11, version 3.0.13* This app is a waste of time it does not work! It doesn’t show you the bus times. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-09-21, version 3.0.13* So many ads! ### 1/5 — Ads Much? *2025-09-19, version 3.0.13* I need this app for all of one day, so no need to pay for features right? Wrong! Tap anything and you get an ad before you can move on to what you’re trying to do. I’ll stick with the Metro website to find where I’m going… ### 1/5 — Ad Littered *2025-08-08, version 3.0.9* Be prepared to miss your stop because these donkeys cant properly implement ads ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent public transportation *2023-07-19* I like that the bus is an affordable means of transportation. I can go to my favorite coffee shop, Coffee MCO, via subway and bus to get to my destination. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Why me *2023-03-25* It was working now all I get is a blank page ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-02-17, version 1.0.14* The best ### 5/5 — Poodles & Noodles… *2022-11-03* Thanks to this app, I can get em both on the same day as efficiently as possible, due to the integrity of this app’s accuracy. Or I could just get to Skid Row as quickly as possible to go. Thanks Metro App!! ### 5/5 — Very clean and on time *2022-10-21* I cherish the updates . I appreciate Metro rail does not allow the train to become a sleeping quarters for transients. ### 5/5 — Metro App *2022-04-09, version 1.0.14* I Love This app and Metro’s New ENC AXESS BRT Huses. LACMTA, I Love You Guys VERY MUCH AND I LOVE YOUR NEWEST BUSES WHICH ARE THE ENC AXESS BET EL DORADO BUSES. I’m VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR BUSES. I WILL RIDE YOUR BUSES MORE N FOREVER!!!! GO LACMTA GO METRO!!!!! ### 5/5 — App is nice. Inconsistent service not so nice. *2022-03-16* Started riding Metro Red Line again. Service gets super inconsistent around 6 PM. App says 4 minutes, then 20, then 10 for 5 more minutes. Not so good at night. ### 5/5 — METRO ROUTING INFO *2022-02-21, version 1.0.14* simple, neat and very helpful if someone understand the map for all the destinations they are familiar with. thanks ### 5/5 — Double Dutch bus afair *2022-02-10, version 1.0.14* Got on metro and paid my fare and told the driver I’m going to a double Dutch afair fee foo fi thumb you all know the rest love metro ### 5/5 — A solid app! *2019-07-08* Honestly I really enjoy this app. It’s very snappy and helps me figure out the proper metro stops since other apps tend to wanna do a complete GPS navigation, which is fine but I want an app also that is completely dedicated to the Metro schedule so I can plan accordingly. Others apps don’t always display accurate times, this app ALWAYS shows the correct ETA. My only suggestion is to please let us tag or nickname favorites so it’s easier for me to jump between stops in the app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
