This app allows me to identify my “favorite” route, so in theory it should give me the information I need quickly. Instead: - launch the app. My “favorite” schedule isn’t pre-selected, even though it is the only schedule in my “favorites” - wait *5 minutes* for it to load a schedule, even though there is no schedule selected. There’s no way to cancel or get out if this state. - finally, it realizes there is no schedule and lets me select a schedule - wait two minutes while it loads the same schedule I have looked at every day for the last 6 months. The MBTA only changes these schedules once or twice a year, but the app re-loads it from the server every single time. How about show me my “favorited” schedule right away, then check for updates? Don’t bother with this app - you can get the same schedule faster from google. ### 1/5 — MBTA *2019-06-29, version 2.2.0* I’m totally disgusted with the service of standing in a stuffed with people Redline car at 5: o’clock rush! Just poor more money on the problem. That sure worked the last time they raised the rates! NOT🤬 ### 1/5 — OnTime MBTA *2018-07-31, version 2.1.0* The new update made this app very slow compare to the older one. It would take more then 5 to 10 minutes to load the data first start. where It only take about a minute before. And anytime you change anything on the app, it will take a long time to load the data again. Come on guys, it should be an easy fix. ### 1/5 — Commuter Rail Only *2018-05-27, version 2.1.0* Does not give any info on the trains or buses. You cannot access T stations on any of the lines except commuter rail. Absolutely no bus lines. If you live in the City Of Boston this is useless. ### 5/5 — Does what it says *2018-04-04, version 2.0.8* It works. I don't need much more from a commuting app. When I've double-checked with other sources because I thought the app was wrong, I've always found it to be accurate. That is: it accurately reports what the MBTA says, not that the MBTA is renown for its accuracy... The one trivial bug I told them about got a response in less than a day, so it is actively maintained. ## Frequently asked questions about onTime ### Does onTime have ads?
