### 1/5 — Limited utility

*2024-12-11, version 2.7*

Sometimes it calms one’s soul to know if your train will come soon or not, but that’s all this does. It doesn’t work between stations (no Internet). It shows only the next five or six trains, so you can’t see connections that are, say, 20 minutes out. To see connections that are not at the same platform (that is, ones you have to walk to, as E to 6, or R to 5, or L to F), you have to memorize one train, then start over, back and forth. End result, you might save 5 minutes off your trip by using this, but you’ll be using it the whole time, rather than doing something you’d rather enjoy.  And if your train pulls in just as your connection is about to leave, you can still watch them close their doors and leave before the doors on your train open. Better not plan your connection down to the minute. 

By now, all these limitations should have been addressed. Apparently MTA’s standard of excellence is just “good enough” and they leave it at that.

### 1/5 — Where did alerts go

*2024-10-30, version 2.5*

Used to show delays and lines that had problems.  How do you publish a new version and leave out the best feature from old version?

### 1/5 — It is terrible

*2024-06-25, version 2.5*

It is terrible

### 1/5 — Terrible - ZERO STARS

*2024-01-17, version 2.0*

Deleted immediately

### 1/5 — Not actually from the MTA

*2023-06-29, version 1.9*

The gratuitous use of the MTA logo and name tries to make you think this app is actually from the MTA. It is not. It is made by some random Chinese company and your first hint will be the ads. Your second hint will be the poor translation to English.

### 1/5 — Absolute TRASH

*2022-12-18, version 1.8*

This app is complete garbage.  Doesn’t do a single thing.

### 1/5 — I don’t know Chinese!

*2022-11-06, version 1.8*

Opened up in Chinese which made it useless to me.

### 4/5 — Feature suggestion

*2024-08-20, version 2.5*

It would be nice to have an overlay where you can select a line and see all of its stops, while filtering off the other lines.

### 5/5 — Mental issue homeless.

*2024-11-15, version 2.6*

I enjoy run by metro but there are more and more mental issue homeless that scare me and so after 9 I have to pay a cab.

### 5/5 — Ok ya a SEE ME SOON

*2024-01-12, version 2.0*

Ya know

### 5/5 — I’m happy with the results

*2023-02-23, version 1.9*

Excellent app for a beginner and a visitor who has no idea about NY city subway connectivity

### 5/5 — Súper bien

*2022-08-18, version 1.6*

Súper bien
