Poor Quality
The app doesn’t even work!
Error in schedule
I have a new paper schedule for the Union Pacific north line in front of me and testing to see how the app will connect me to the BNSF line. The arrival time into OTC does not match the printed material. I also tried to plan a trip connecting UPN line to UPW line which leaves out of the same station as UPN line and the app indicated no available schedules. Once again I have the paper schedules in front of me and know this to not be true. Has potential but can't trust it.

Great app!
Have used for sometime now. Quickest way to look up Metra schedule! Had to delete and reinstall app for the last update to take affect. Now works great
A great app to view the train schedule
I love it and has made my life easier because I can access the schedule without Internet.
Easy
I love it use it when I'm in downtown Chicago
Awesome Job
Metra Rails is a great example of an app that is meant to facilitate a very simple task but accomplishes the very difficult job of keeping that task simple. For anybody that has ever looked up Metra times on Metra's own website, you've experienced how a poorly designed application can make a simple task much too difficult and time consuming to accomplish.
This app eliminates the step of having to first select your rail line, and skips directly to choosing your departure and arrival stations, and avoids all intermittent page refreshes (the main culprits of adding time to the process of looking up times on the Metra website). I am hoping that the developer is able to integrate delay updates once Metra launches that feature on their own system sometime this year.
For now, this app is by far your best and quickest option for searching Metra schedules. Once you use this app, you'll never use the Metra website to look up train times again.

Works
Clean interface. Train times were accurate. Has ability to add favorites (the duplicate lines, though only temporary, were kind of confusing). Kudos to the programmer.
I can't believe Metra doesn't have an app of their own.
