Great UI
So much better than the old app

Train times arrivals inaccurate
Train times on app are inaccurate. The times on the station seem to be okay. Not sure how the MTA can’t align it to that. A train can say 2 minutes away on the app, then instantly jump to zero. Not too bad showing delays but the people rather have accurate times so they can plan better. The old times when you would have to check the schedule were more accurate.

Bad service
Just a bad service all around.

Great app, terrible for battery usage
The design is excellent – a lot better than it was before.
Unfortunately, the app drains the phone battery excessively through always-on location and background refresh, unless you change those settings in iOS. In my case, the app was consuming huge amounts of battery for background refresh _even while I was in Europe_.
Two recommendations:
(1) At least geofence the background updates to the NYC Metro area. No reason to consume battery and data usage in the background while the phone is nowhere near NYC.
(2) Better controls and explanation in the in-app settings for how the app uses energy in the background. We shouldn’t have to rely solely on the built-in iOS controls to be able to tell the app to reduce its battery usage.
If the battery usage situation improves, I would love to update this review to five stars, which is what the app deserves for everything.outside the battery concerns.
