Just leave early

Terrible app. Always told me no info available. Doesn't even have a subway map. Just doesn't work.

Vapor ware

Doesn't work on the lines that I use. Misadvertised. Rip off. Refund.

MBTA real time

I bought the app because I use the Heath street Green line ... only to find out after buying the app.. it does not work for the bloody green line ! Now it's of no real sue for me at all .....

Just OK. Needs more testing.

This is a decent app. I don't feel ripped of for my $1, but I do feel like I've gotten a lot more for that elsewhere.

I have no complaints about the accuracy. The app pulls data straight from the MBTA. If the times are wrong, it's their fault, not the app's.

The interface is pretty, but also pretty glitchy. It looks nice, but it has really substandard performance... For example on the red line display screen, scrolling up and down by dragging sometimes just doesn't work. The map overlay breaks the interface sometimes, too.

Overall, it's fine. If there are some updates to polish it, it could be great.

Real Time MBTA - not worth it

Not worth the trouble. Get the free ap instead

Great app, simple to use

i'm new to Boston and i downloaded this app to help me get around on the subway (the T?)
it's simple and really helped me to navigate around the city, times are accurate and the system works great for the three lines it covers
the green line thing is a drag, but the solution here makes sense -- i checked with a local friend who told me better data just isn't available

if you are new to boston (like me) or just trying to minimize waiting time for trains, this is a great app

also, not sure what the other reviews are talking about when they ding the app - it works great for me

Refund Please...

No need to buy this app. No accurate "real time" info. Useless for estimating train arrival times.

Good idea but inaccurate times

The display is simple enough, but the information available makes this app useless. No arrival times for Green Lines or any coverage of Commuter Rail. Quite a gap in system coverage. Use on the Red just showed published train arrival intervals not actual real-time arrival data. Where do I get my refund?

Clean UI but...

The interface is nice and streamlined, all the info is really easy to get to / find, but for whatever reason the t-times appear to be approximately 2 minutes ahead (about 1 station ahead of it's true location). Adnittedly only been testing for a few days, but if the time issue were resolved the app is nice to use otherwise.

Very easy to use!

It'd be great if the parking lot rates & addresses could be included (along with the train arrival times) for each station. Thanks!

Really useful for tracking the T

This App is quite useful for tracking subway trains. It's really easy to use and has everything you need to know when the next train is arriving and how to find the nearest station.

Streamlined and Simple Interface but still lacking

This is a great app if you just want to find the nearest T stop. Trying to use it for directions or planning a route to take is not that simple. Hopefully the developer will add in trip and search features then this might be my go to MBTA app.
