I can’t get past to opening ad. ### 2/5 — PLS BRING BACK THE OLD MAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2026-07-16, version 5.6.0* This map… im not saying i hate it but the old map is more accurate. Also pls update the F/M swap. ### 4/5 — Gute App, bis auf ein entscheidender Bug *2026-04-19, version 5.5.6* Gute App mit etwas viel Werbung. Aber aufgepasst! Die Linien F und M sind vertauscht. Hat mich anfangs in völlig falsche Richtungen geführt, bis ich es verstanden habe!Wieso fällt dass keinem auf??? ### 2/5 — F Train tunnel switch *2026-04-13, version 5.5.6* You need to update this app. The F train no longer uses the 63rd st tunnel to queens. It uses the same tunnel at the E train (53rd st). Many F train stops are incorrect now. ### 3/5 — Update for F and M switch please! *2026-03-18, version 5.5.6* No longer reflects current subway map. ### 3/5 — Annoyed *2026-02-21, version 5.5.6* I’ve had this app for years, and it’s been good. Now? Not so much. The ads aren’t a problem for me, it’s fact I have to close to whole app because the ads don’t show the little x to close it out. ### 4/5 — Update the map! *2026-02-11, version 5.5.6* There’s some changes in the system like the M and F lines. Update is needed asap for accurate consultation. ### 1/5 — NOT UPDATED!!! *2026-02-02, version 5.5.6* attention this is a nice app, but I just faced a big issue because they didn’t update the swap of line M and F that was done in December 2025. This is now a few months ago and they still haven’t updated on this app so this is not reliable anymore. ### 1/5 — falta actuoizar la ruta F *2026-01-22, version 5.5.6* la ruta f va por otro lado ### 1/5 — Should be free *2026-01-21, version 5.5.6* MTA is publicly funded this APP should be 100% ad free and updated every month ### 1/5 — Impossible to us with all the pop up Ads! *2026-01-18, version 5.5.6* Never comes in handy when i need it on the go because the ads just keep popping up and you can’t turn them off ### 1/5 — Not kept current *2026-01-15, version 5.5.6* In the last several months, there have been a couple accuracy issues with the map. No longer fully aligns to the actual MTA map. Eg, M line — where is it? F line running on a route that MTA changed months ago ### 1/5 — Ads despite top-level subscription *2026-01-08, version 5.5.6* I have a VIP Yearly subscription, and I am getting ads. ### 1/5 — Lousy app *2026-01-07, version 5.5.6* Nothing works, add interrupt searches ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — MAP NOT UPDATED *2026-08-11, version 5.6.0* This app can’t even update their maps when the app is specifically just for maps! The M and F train is not the correct route. I went on the wrong train because of this app. I’m not from NYC so I rely on this. Absolutely annoying! ### 1/5 — Misdirect *2026-08-06, version 5.6.0* The map is outdated, incorrect routes of F and M trains. ### 1/5 — Don’t *2026-07-26, version 5.6.0* The app used to be bearable but now you can’t even close the ads when they AGGRESSIVELY pop up ### 1/5 — So much ads *2026-07-03, version 5.6.0* So much ads ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-20, version 5.5.6* Technofeudalism is a parasite ### 1/5 — Slow, filled with ads *2026-05-22, version 5.5.6* Slow, filled with ads ### 1/5 — do not purchase *2026-05-12, version 5.5.6* Once I purchased the app. Never received the notification any more! ### 1/5 — What an annoying app *2026-04-18, version 5.5.6* You can use Google Maps for free without using this annoying ad filled app that constantly pops up stupid ads. ### 1/5 — The adds take over *2026-03-11, version 5.5.6* You can’t even use the app because the adds take over. It gets to a point where you can’t search the routes because the adds won’t go away. They are constant. ### 1/5 — This new map sucks *2026-02-04, version 5.5.6* This new map sucks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Accurate *2026-08-09, version 5.6.0* I love how accurate this app is. Makes navigating so much easier. 10/10 recommend ### 5/5 — Best subway map ever!!!!! I wish I had the other ones *2026-06-26, version 5.5.6* Did,skkddidjiedijsek ### 5/5 — Good App, WAY too many Ads! *2026-02-16, version 5.5.6* It’s accurate, the look is okay, but when I need it most, ads pop up. I as soon as it’s gone two more pop up. Way more than earlier versions. No one will buy this app that’s a real New Yorker. Will tough it out until another free one happens. ### 5/5 — Good app but it doesn’t reflect the F and M train swap *2026-02-04, version 5.5.6* Title says it all. I’ve used this app for years and it’s great but it doesn’t seem to reflect the recent swap I f the F and M train routes. I got on an M train at 9 pm on Tuesday thinking it would take me to 53rd and Lex and I ended up at 57th and 5th. To be fair Google maps is also messed up. ### 5/5 — Subway *2026-01-30, version 5.5.6* Morena ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-07, version 5.5.6* I was visiting NYC with my husband for Christmas and we couldn’t find a gift for me. I wanted something vintage and cool and the NYC Vintage App made it so easy, streamlining what categories to look for along with location services. Will definitely use whenever I’m in NYC and will download the LA app for when I’m there also. ### 5/5 — App works again! *2025-02-23, version 5.5.1* Developer contacted me after my previous review, app works again, very happy! ### 5/5 — So good *2025-01-12, version 5.4.3* Good if you are in NYC ### 5/5 — Super Helpful App *2024-12-29, version 5.4.3* This app was super helpful as a first timer to New York. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-09-15, version 5.3.2* Great app, super helpful, will automatically show night service at night, only issue is it opens in a zoomed in part of Queens every time you open the app and takes some time to zoom out every time. If this bug was fixed it would be perfect. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
