Move Metairie Tracking Forward User Reviews

Top reviews

No notifications

Do not get the notification anymore saying a train is heading either way I have reloaded the app. There’s no difference. Did they change it that you just have to keep looking at your app to see if the train is coming?

Response from developer

Good afternoon Johneb18, I apologize for the late reply. I confirmed this morning that notifications are indeed working. Can you confirm that notifications are enabled within the app (bottom left notification logo) and in iOS settings. It actually will be easier if you uninstall and download the app, as the app will prompt you to enable notifications. Safe travels!

Could be better

This only shows Metarie road crossing but I need to know where the train is from labarre as well. You can’t move the map to show where the train is either so your stuck at one location where it crosses.

Response from developer

PoppySeed16, thank you for taking the time give us feedback. We are hoping to expand, but Metairie Rd was intentionally chosen as the first crossing based on discussions with the Parish. A single location was chosen to see how well the app would perform, and we will share your concerns with the Parish. The map is immovable because there is nothing else to see other than this crossing. Based on this, would you consider reevaluating your rating? Thank you, and safe travels!

Train Tracking

There are several more crossings that have similar effect on traffic on Metairie road. Tracking 1 out of all of the crossings is not that helpful.

Wonderful App

So thankful for this! Super helpful on my daily commute to work!

Dear anna4213, thank you very much for taking the time to share feedback. We really appreciate it, and we are happy that you are enjoying the app. Wishing you the best, and safe travels!

Decent App

App works well for when trains cross Metairie Road. I think you can get rid of the political logos at the bottom, no one cares about that. The camera is delayed by about a minute.

Dear ryanbarthel, thank you for taking the time to review the application. We will share your feedback with Jefferson Parish. Wishing you safe travels!

Bad user experience

One of the worst designed apps I’ve ever used. Does not conform to Apple’s standards and is confusing to use. Which is impressive given how limited the app is with only one rail track.

Response from developer

Dear kybldmstr, thank you for your review. We apologize for your bad experience, could you possibly provide more information on our shortcomings so that we can address them in the future? Safe travels!

Where’s the rest?

No other crossings?

Response from developer

Dear ReviewCrossings, thank you for taking the time to review the application. We are aware and hoping to add more crossings in the future, however this one crossing was intentionally chosen first. We will share your want for more crossings with the Parish. Safe travels!

Can we get more?

Will this expand to include Labare, Central, and Little Farms? If it does this will be a great help to many people.

Response from developer

Dear Ewilson911, thank you so much for your review. We are hoping that all of these locations get added in the future. We will inform the Parish of your desire for these expansions! Safe travels!

Please add other crossings throughout Old Metairie

Finally

I live right over the tracks off Hollywood and figured there had to be an app that would enable an easier detour.

However when I looked at the iOS store no luck

Bravo..I hope you guys blow this thing up and continue to add more locations and app functionality. I’d like to add this to a notification feature where I’d just get a pop up if a train is passing. It would save tons of time and stress for so many people.

4 stars for no but if it works well I’ll change to 5 stars later

Response from developer

Dear Vista1679, we appreciate the favorable review. There is a way to turn on/off notifications if you press the notification bell icon on the bottom left. If there is a cross through it, notifications are turned off, so press it to turn it back on. If you still aren't getting notifications, they may be disabled in your notification settings for the app. We hope this helps!

Feature Request

Can you please add the ability to zoom out on the map to see where the approaching trains are? It would be more helpful to know a train is coming in 10 min versus 1 min to better plan commutes. Thanks! Great job!

Response from developer

Dear MKP- – , thank you so much for your review. We are simply making some educated guesses about where the train is, but we do not know for certain. The app should be giving you estimated times of around 2-8 minutes, depending on the speed of the train. However, there is only so much time we can get, based on splits, railyards, and train speeds. Thank you for the 5 Star review, we are glad you are enjoying the app, minus the shortcomings.

Need Labarre track

Great for the Metairie Road tracks but it does not include the Labarre crossing which is the one that impacts me on a daily basis.

Response from developer

Dear Dorrington Dolly, thank you so much for your review. We are hoping to add Labarre in the future, but we wanted to tackle Metairie Rd first. Safe travels!

One Track

It’s useful. Thank you for creating it. It’s seems ridiculous that so much went into making an app for one spot of track, Metairie Road. LaBarre is just as busy. I’m assuming
it’s because Met Rd. is a State Highway if this was funded by the state? If not, the Old Metairie residents would love to know if LaBarre Rd will be added?

Dear Nolabean, thank you for taking the time give us feedback. We are hoping to expand the application to include Labarre Rd, but Metairie Rd was intentionally chosen as the first crossing. A single location was chosen to see how well the app would perform. We did not intend to piecemeal your experience, but we are hoping, like you, to add it. We will share your review with the Parish. Safe travels!

No Labarre track info

No Labarre track information.
