## What is NextStop?

NextStop is the app for New York City Subway riders who don’t like to waste a minute. At a quick glance, it tells you when the next train is scheduled to arrive based on your current location, selected station, or pre-defined favorites. With this information in hand, it’s easy to figure out the quickest route between point A and point B.

A green dot indicates that the countdown is based on a recent, realtime location of the train. A gray dot indicates that the countdown is based on MTA timetables (pre-published schedules). See the help screen for more details.

Features:
- Displays your favorite stations based on time of day (morning commute, evening commute, etc.).
- Shows upcoming stops at all stations near your current location.
- Shows upcoming stops (including times) for selected train.
- Includes the official MTA map. Clicking a station displays upcoming stops for that station.
- Allows browsing of lines and stations to find next stop for any train.
- Displays MTA service alerts (delays, service changes) and advisories (planned work, etc).

NextStop is officially licensed by the MTA and all graphics are used with permission.

### 5/5 — My go to

*2024-06-13, version 2.7.1*

I’v been using this app for years. It’s my go to to get updated subway information and alerts. If has helped me over the years immensely. I hope it continues to be updated to reflect real time 24 hours. Sometimes the times and alerts of each line are spot on accurate and sometimes they are off. Most of the time accurate though. Great idea and app that I’m sure has helped many NYers like me and will hopefully continue to exist.

### 1/5 — Asking for more money?

*2022-12-10, version 2.7.1*

I paid for this apps YEARS AGO and now you update it and make me pay again to remove ads?

### 1/5 — Hasn’t worked in days

*2019-12-11, version 2.6.3*

I have an iPhone X app keeps crashing.

### 2/5 — Not accurate as it used to be.

*2019-08-07, version 2.6.3*

I used to use this app everyday for individual train. Now, it’s not accurately displayed. Sometimes it will say there is a train arriving xx time at a station but when I would get there there are no trains. It displays trains even tho there are planned work for that specific train. Few times gave me incorrect information. There are better and accurate apps for the subway on the App Store.

### 4/5 — App closing instantly

*2019-08-04, version 2.6.3*

Love this app, but all of a sudden, every time I try to launch it, it closes instantly. 

Please advise

### 5/5 — Android Platform

*2019-07-11, version 2.6.3*

This app is amazing!!! I’ve been using it since it was first developed and recommend it to lost tourist who ask me for directions etc in NYC. It works much better and is 100% more reliable than the MTA app offered by NYC’s MTA. 

The only downside is that it’s only available for iPhone. My wife has an android phone. Will you/can you... in the near future develop a version of this app for the android platform...? 

Please consider it as an option. Thanks.

### 3/5 — Scrolling not working

*2019-03-30, version 2.6.3*

On the alert and changes tab, the text below the fold can’t be seen because you cannot scroll. Been like this for over a year.

### 3/5 — Train Schedule Missing

*2019-02-10, version 2.6.3*

The app used to have a list of upcoming train times and it’s no longer there, taking away the option to plan ahead. This is a much needed feature, please add it back, thanks!

### 2/5 — Miss the old version

*2019-02-05, version 2.6.3*

Only because before i could put a certain time and it would tell me what time my train would come 30 mins before time i miss that out that ? Mark back to the time please PLEASE‼️

### 3/5 — Changed app

*2019-01-09, version 2.6.3*

Please please bring the future train times option back! I commute from Brooklyn to Manhattan. The trains run less frequently in Brooklyn and the future train times were everything! I relied on them every day, especially when leaving for work super early or planning clients for the next day.
