But Munich Commuter goes way beyond a simple departure board. Create filtered favorites tailored to your exact commute: choose destination stops, departure platforms, destination platforms, and transport types – then sort results by departure time or arrival time at your destination. One glance tells you which connection gets you there fastest.

Key features:
- Real-time departures for all MVV transport types, including delays
- Filtered favorites: freely combine destination stop, platform, destination track, transport type, and sort order
- Detailed trip view with interactive map and all intermediate stops
- Automatically find nearby stations using your location

Data source: Real-time data is provided via the official MVV/DEFAS interface.

Note: Munich Commuter is an independent, private hobby project with no monetization (no ads, no in-app purchases). It is not an official app of Deutsche Bahn, MVG, or MVV, and there is no business affiliation or partnership with those organizations.

### 5/5 — Schon immer genial, und jetzt noch besser!

*2026-03-24, version 2.0*

Also, wenn man sehen will, wann und wie der nächste Bus oder die nächste Bahn an der bevorzugten Haltestelle abfährt: ein genialer super-flexibler Abfahrtsmonitor. Und das Beste: geht auch als Watch-App, als Widget und am iPad. Gerade in München, wo es die getrennte "Welt" MVG und DB gibt, die jeweils nur eine App für ihre eigene Welt anbieten, ist es unglaublich praktisch, ein solch universelles, schnelles und flexibles Tool zu haben. On top: Umgebungspläne und Störungsmeldungen. Wirklich fein!!

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2025-09-08, version 1.4.1*

Die Idee ist toll, aber leider werden weder die Linien angezeigt noch kann ich die regulären Fahrpläne laden.

### 5/5 — Mega!

*2025-08-24, version 1.4.1*

Super coole App, keine Adds! 10/10

### 1/5 — Nicht gewartet

*2025-05-27, version 1.4.1*

Die App scheint nicht mehr zu funktionieren, Zeiten laden nicht, Entwicklerwebsite nicht aufrufbar.

### 1/5 — Scheinbar kein Support mehr

*2024-04-20, version 1.4.1*

Nach vier Jahren Ausland muss ich leider feststellen, dass die App nicht mehr funktioniert. Ich habe sie immer gerne mit meiner Apple Watch verwendet, jedoch reagiert der Server unter timhaug.de nicht mehr. Ich würde mich über eine Aktualisierung freuen!

### 1/5 — Geht nicht mehr :(

*2024-03-13, version 1.4.1*

Das letzte Update ist 2 Jahre her und natürlich musste es früher oder später inkompatibel werden zur MVV API. Schade, wenn super Apps kaputt gehen.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht.

*2024-03-12, version 1.4.1*

Scheinbar werden keine Updates mehr angeboten. Seit dem funktioniert seit langen die App für den Münchner Nahverkehr nicht mehr

### 4/5 — Super! Aber …

*2023-10-17, version 1.4.1*

Alles Super, aber … der Punkt Störungen funktioniert nicht.

### 1/5 — App geht nicht

*2023-01-30, version 1.4.1*

Stimmt so halbwegs, zumindest meistens. Das reicht nicht, das ist mangelhaft!

### 4/5 — Good

*2022-08-08, version 1.4.1*

The app good but, when I write anything, I don’t see anything
