### 1/5 — Wrong

*2025-12-05, version 10.8.6*

The times are always off there is a notice from August still running.  My train is 45 minutes late and showing on time.   Worthless.

### 3/5 — OK App in Need of Update

*2024-11-07*

This app is not bad if you can find your way around. The big flaw though, is navigating from the Home Screen to Tickets that you have purchased. There isn’t a single clue that you have tickets waiting to use or how to get to them — real basic stuff. Hopefully, in the next 20 years, big government-like company that they are, we’ll get an upgrade.

### 1/5 — Something is wrong!

*2023-05-11, version 10.3.0*

I have used this app successfully for years. But suddenly it's not working properly, despite my uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work!

*2023-05-01, version 10.3.0*

Terrible App! It only gives the train schedule up to 8:44 AM. and that’s all folks. It just stops. It has been doing this for months and there does not appear to be a fix that corrects it. Can’t believe MNR can’t take care of what appears to be a very fixable problem. 
It’s also shameful for a RR not to have a functioning train schedule.

### 2/5 — Brain dead

*2023-04-15, version 10.3.0*

App has very long response time. Almost unusable

### 1/5 — Non-functional Implementation

*2023-01-24, version 10.2.7*

Total garbage app. Tried to install it 3 times but never let me setup account and App crashed each time. Very, very disappointing for such a simple function.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2022-12-17, version 10.2.7*

For some reason it freezes when you want to change the time and day.. The LIR app is smooth. Fix this please

### 3/5 — Good but having problem w date scroll

*2022-11-16, version 10.2.7*

Can’t scroll dates easily.. it is lagging horribly and can’t select dates in the future or times without severe lag.  Otherwise, great app.  Running iPhone 13 Pro, latest updates and latest iOS.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2022-08-10*

Just started using this app for train times and it included which train track at Grand Central but I just noticed that feature is gone. Which is why I gave this only four stars rather than 5. I hope they bring it back as I see it’s going to merge with the e-tix app.

### 1/5 — Schedule is still wrong

*2022-08-05, version 10.2.0*

Why does the app say it’s a 530 train to north white plains when it’s now a 529 train? Please fix this app!
