### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2023-07-01*

I like this app because it is easy to use and very fast

Thank you for the update!

### 5/5 — One small suggestion

*2020-02-12*

Excellent app. Would love a feature to say “Eastbound” or “Westbound” since the station endpoints are higher cognitive load to interpret.

### 5/5 — Don’t miss a train!

*2019-08-10*

I use the app to know when to head out the office in time to catch the next train home. There is no need to kill time at the station when you know when the next train is coming. The app works great. I just wish there was a tab showing the timetable at each station but you can’t complain when the app is free!

### 3/5 — No option to choose next closest station

*2019-06-21*

I live between two stations and typically use one vs the other. There is no way for me to choose a location to check departure times until I arrive to it. App works as stated and is definitely an improvement from the previous app used for Metro. Being able to choose a location would just be a nice feature.

### 5/5 — Yahoo!! New times!!

*2018-08-22*

Thanks so much for updating the app with the new timetables.

I was hoping this information was “in the works” and did not want to give up, even though I had to stop using the app for a while so that I did not get frustrated by the experience of having missed a train by mere moments.

When I saw the update notification it made my day!  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Love this app! Watch support?

*2018-08-02*

Please add a watch complication!!! You are my hero.

### 1/5 — Won't run on 4s running 7.1.2.

*2016-06-25*

Failure to launch

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2016-06-03*

Absolutely necessary for any St Louisan riding public transit. Simple app that does just what it needs to.

### 2/5 — Inflexible

*2015-10-31*

As others have stated, the app will not let you to choose the departure station. It assumes you want to leave from the closest geographical station.

### 4/5 — Great so far

*2015-08-13*

Works exactly as id hoped so far. My only gripe is that it wants access to the gps even while not running. iOS has a policy for allowing only when the app is running, the developer needs to implement that as an option.
