### 5/5 — Download This App

*2026-07-10, version 1.2.1*

This is a super fantastic Atlanta transit tracking application!  Easy to use and very accurate.  Developer is regularly updating, improving and adding features.  If you ride Atlanta Transit regularly or our visiting I recommend this application.

### 5/5 — The BEST MARTA App!!!

*2026-05-16, version 1.2.0*

The folks at Terminus have built an intuitive, responsive and easy to use app for navigating MARTA.  My favorite feature is bookmarks/favs tab.  It lets me see the next train at the 4 or 5 stations I use frequently with no button presses required.  I’ve got the app set to default to the Bookmarks tab.  When I’m somewhere else I can always use the Closest Station/Stop option to find my way home.  Great app!  Thanks guys!

### 5/5 — Getting around

*2025-11-19, version 1.1.2*

Great way to get around

### 5/5 — Greatest MARTA app

*2025-09-23, version 1.1.2*

Live location tracker!
TSA wait times!
This is the MARTA app I’ve been waiting for.

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2025-07-29, version 1.1.2*

This is the app that MARTA/ATL should’ve made with their breeze 2.0 initiative. All this app is missing is integrated payments.

### 1/5 — Not It

*2025-06-23, version 1.1.2*

Well here’s a real review. This is the worst app for tracking buses. It’s almost pointless to use. The buses arrive 15-20 after the scheduled time that the app shows. I always end up waiting for 20-25 mins after the time the app says. I’ve been late several times because I’d try to follow this and the buses won’t arrive on time. It’s best to learn the schedule on your own and follow it that way.

### 5/5 — So much better than the official app

*2025-05-16, version 1.1.2*

The UI is amazing. I can quickly find everything I need and bookmark my favorite stations. The official app and this app use the same data source, so reliability is similar. But this is just much better at organizing information to show what I want to see

### 3/5 — location issues

*2025-04-27, version 1.1.0*

Love the idea of this app; lord knows this city needs it — but for the life of me I cannot get the “closest stop” feature to work. I keep getting this error: “Something went wrong. Please try again.”

### 5/5 — Download This App

*2025-04-27*

This is a super fantastic Atlanta transit tracking application!  Easy to use and very accurate.  Developer is regularly updating, improving and adding features.  If you ride Atlanta Transit regularly or our visiting I recommend this application.

### 5/5 — Intelligent app!

*2025-04-26, version 1.1.0*

Best app for using MARTA
