### 4/5 — Simply the best DC Metro app!!

*2023-05-10, version 15.7*

I’ve been using Metro Times since it came out and it’s still simply the best app to see when the trains will be arriving:  by station, line, and destination, along with the number of cars.  It’s simple to use, informative, loads quickly, and is highly accurate.

### 5/5 — fixed: App crashes frequently when voiceOver is running

*2019-09-17, version 15.4*

This is fixed now This just started happening yesterday. With VoiceOver running open the app. It crashes i have also seen it crash when the alerts tab is activated. I have used this app for years and like it but it is unusable now.

### 5/5 — Solid app

*2018-02-06, version 11.0*

Allows favorites. Shows alerts. Easy ability to know when a train  is coming. Works  when in the metro system. Accurate

### 5/5 — Great metro rail app!

*2017-06-28, version 11.0*

I like this app; however, the metro map needs to be updated because of the permanent service changes that were effective on June 25, 2017, please. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2016-04-01, version 11.0*

This is a great free app that gives accurate arrival times. The biggest bonus is that it also tells you how big the train is - 6 or 8 cars. That makes a difference in baseball season when there are huge crowds on the platform. I use it everyday I ride the train weekdays.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-01-18, version 11.0*

I love this app. It is the best DC Metro train times app out there. It is simple, looks great and works perfectly. I would love to see a price calculator added, but other than that it's great!

### 5/5 — Lightweight Metro client

*2015-12-04, version 11.0*

Application works well, even on older iOS versions. My preferred client for Metro among the half dozen available apps.

### 5/5 — Simplistically Perfect

*2015-12-04, version 11.0*

Simple, easy access to train times and map. Not bloated like other apps. Highly recommend for commuters!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2014-11-29, version 10.3.1*

nice looking interface too

### 5/5 — What a metro app should be

*2014-11-20, version 10.3.1*

Its the best Metro app out there; I tried them all. It's easy to navigate and has all the info I need to use the metro efficiently. One suggestion is to make the Geo map with all pins show up with the colored colored lines connecting them so I know which lines are closest to me at any time. I like the entrance map but they should be color coded to distinguish the stations. Other than that, it's perfect.
