This is very helpful

### 5/5 — Excellent DC MetroRail App

*2011-08-14, version 1.02*

Simple to use and accurate!  I recommend this app to anyone who uses the MetroRail system and needs up to date arrival and departure times!

### 5/5 — Best Metro App Availabe

*2011-07-27, version 1.02*

Thank you for this brilliant simplification of Metro's site. Previously I bookmarked the arrival page on Metro's site but this app is faster & more convenient. Well done.

### 5/5 — Great

*2011-06-12, version 1.01*

I love it!

### 5/5 — I love it

*2011-05-28, version 1.01*

Good job apple better than metro signs

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2010-10-07, version 0*

This app is super useful if you take the metro. I'm not a regular commuter but I use the metro on the weekends, so the geographic map that shows where the stations are is especially helpful. I love how when you find a station on the geographic map, you can click on it and it will take you to the arrivals for that station. My only suggestion would be that a back button on some of the screens would be nice. Overall, awesome!

### 5/5 — Pure awesome

*2010-10-01, version 0*

This app is great. It finds the stations nearest to you, and then you select one and it has real time arrivals. It also shows the stations on a real map. It is much quicker than using the metro website, even for the stations I had bookmarked before.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2012-09-27, version 1.6*

There should be a trip Planner feature so that you can see how long your trip will take and how much it will cost. I also wasn't able to use the favorite feature.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Almost there

*2013-08-13, version 1.8*

App goes almost all the way. It's great to see when the next train arrives if you're not getting on at the end of the line. Really fills in the gaps of the other apps with real-time data. But, if you're at the end of the line, no departure data. 

Download it anyways. Hopefully the dev takes feedback well. :)

### 4/5 — LuvIt

*2012-06-20, version 1.02*

It's the most used and useful item on my smartphone.  I am able to adjust my pace in order to make the next train.

### 4/5 — Metro app

*2012-06-08, version 1.02*

It's a good app to have, and very helpful

### 4/5 — Easy Interface

*2012-05-13, version 1.02*

I like the map view. Once I leave the hotel I loose the ability to get updates so having static maps is a plus.

### 4/5 — Great! App.

*2012-02-02, version 1.02*

Using for several months. App is great. Just as good or better than paid app.The favorite buttons do not respond very well so it makes it difficult to add or remove favorite stations.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Simple app that gets the job done

*2014-10-01, version 10.3*

No nonsense app that relays the info on the departure board (how much time till the next train).This app is great because I don't need to plug in a destination to get this info.
