It gives accurate updates about what is going on with the train system. I hate waiting for a train only to find out it is delayed or not running that night. Finally, no more waiting in a hot, sweaty train station because I don't know the deal with my train. I strongly reccommend this product to any commuter. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This no longer works as of October 2023 *2023-09-29* This no longer works as of October 2023 ### 1/5 — Wakeup big water main break *2020-01-13* It’s seven hours since service on the1 2 3 was suspended due to a massive water main break. The App says service is good. WAKE UP!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, always wrong *2019-06-13* App deans work, it’s always wrong. ### 2/5 — Failure to Provide Accurate details *2019-12-14* Does not explain planned changes. ### 2/5 — Deleted! *2012-01-03* I needed the app for service advisories & delays especially at night..with my first use it crashed when I located my location (odd). Then I checked it out some more and saw that the service updates were last updated early this morning & I have to pay for the extra lines ANYWAY (bus,LIRR,MNorth)..all well doesn't work for me! I forked over the 3.99 & bought "itrans"..it works underground & doesn't have ads within the app! Hopefully they get it together & join with Google's Map! Maybe someone else has better use of this free app but I don't. I instantly deleted it. ### 4/5 — App update *2022-05-26* Need to update the app still on 2021 it’s not given an update on status thank you ### 4/5 — Useful, but Inaccurate *2017-09-06* This app is very useful. However, it's inaccurate at times. It just showed that there's good service on the 5 line. Yet, I just heard on the radio that there's no 5 between Dyre Ave and East 180th. ### 4/5 — Quick and reliable *2012-09-22* The only addition that I'd like to see is a function to change dates to plan for a few days ahead. ### 4/5 — Update time *2012-09-02* Simple and useful app. Wish it would tell you when the last synch was done otherwise you can not really tell whether the info is accurate or not ### 5/5 — The New York City subway *2022-03-20* This app is good it helps us know if trains are delayed or not!!!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2019-04-04* Easy to use plus a lot of cool colors. Always helpful especially with our lousy train system ### 5/5 — Love this App *2017-01-18* I live and work in NY and still need some directions, especially realtime to let me know when trains are down. This app really hasn't let me down yet! ### 5/5 — Reliable. And balls! *2016-11-08* Reliable and live info straight from the MTA website. Plus, when trains are running smoothly, they give you a whole bunch of balls to play with!! ### 5/5 — Essential *2016-03-19* Before I head to the subway, I always check to find out what's happening. Keeps me on time. ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS AWESOME APP!!! *2014-09-11* I use this app on a daily basis every morning in order to get to work on time. I procrastinate and then, add train delays - suffice to say, I was always late. This app allows me to quickly change my game plan by taking an alternate route or if all my trains have delays, I have an earlier head start so I can leave home earlier. This app is on point for the NYC MTA and I haven't been late to work since I downloaded it. GREAT APP!!! ### 5/5 — Useful *2014-02-06* Use it everyday very accurate and helps me decide my route to work before i take the subway ### 5/5 — Quick, to the point. *2012-04-21* The app is simple: hit the button of the train you want; gives service updates. Voila. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2011-09-18* I am always running out the door and then I think of checking how the trains are running. Now I can find out what's happening while I'm in transit. On weekends it's a necessity. It works well. Once I emailed the developer and I got a prompt, helpful response. ### 5/5 — Elegant! *2010-11-02* Great simple design. I checked the status of the E train before I headed to Grand Central, saw that it was delayed and wasted no time waiting for a delayed train. I took the 7 train home instead and was back before it started raining. Real life-saver --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
