### 5/5 — I use this app every day

*2025-08-12, version 2.5.0*

This app helps me perfectly time my transfers. Great for subway and bus. Simple and reliable. I’ve shared this app with all my friends. thank you Transit Bandage <3

### 5/5 — Exceptionally useful and well designed

*2025-01-19, version 2.5.0*

By far the best transit app for NYC.

This app lets you know if you can make a quick transfer to an express line, and if there’s an MTA published deviation from service.

The UI is well designed, and it’s much less inefficient with network needs than the atrocious MTA app/website. Rather convenient given one should expect poor cell connectivity on the subway :)

### 5/5 — Better than Citymapper

*2024-10-26, version 2.5.0*

I like Citymapper, but this is better. Hope this app continues to receive support.

### 5/5 — Better than MyMTA

*2024-04-10, version 2.4*

App is intuitive and easy to use, much better than MyMTA

### 1/5 — App still crashing

*2024-03-14, version 2.2*

Most recent update still makes my phone crash

### 5/5 — i love it

*2024-02-09*

so much better than the mymta app — it is so much faster and much more concise i wish that there was commuter rail

### 5/5 — Must have for NYC Commuters

*2024-02-06, version 2.0*

Don’t need to say much else. Great app.

### 5/5 — Chef kiss!

*2024-01-21, version 1.1*

I think I’ve used every subway app out there and this is the best! Clean and useful, I use it everyday.

### 5/5 — All of the subway information you need, and nothing unnecessary.

*2024-01-19, version 1.1*

So simple and straightforward— exactly what myMTA should be (but isn’t). The delay information down to the second is extremely helpful given the state of the system today.

### 5/5 — You need this app

*2023-11-17, version 1.1*

Saved my commute! A must download!
