Busted as of Oct 2025
No longer functional
Does NOT work anymore
Although they still had MetroWatch brochures on their buses last week, it doesn’t work. I thought paying to have the ads removed would remedy the issue, but no… it doesn’t show anything on the app whatsoever. And I just found that when looking at the reviews for this app, many positive ones were at the top of the page… but when I sorted to the most recent, many said it wasn’t working. Should have looked in the first place. What a waste of money and time. Those brochures should have been removed from the buses. I’m going back to Google Transit.

Doesnt work!
This thing Doesnt show the times
Doesn’t seem to work anymore.
Shame because it was the most reliable app for LA. I keep trying but to no avail.
Metro Watch
The app seems to have stopped working period. No bus routes will appear anymore. Deleted and reinstalled the app, to no avail.
Completely inaccurate
I've been using this for years and it was very reliable. I even paid to have the ads removed to support the dev. Since the start of 2022 it has been completed off with the arrival times. I've messaged the dev and they are even responding. I have to migrate over to the official app now. This app is completely useless for me now.

I would like to take this bus to work not only from
Work. No information
Great APP
This app is great and it shows were the bus is at on map.
What happened!?
This was my “go to” app for transportation but sadly it is currently useless. The last update removed all my pins & now DOESNT HAVE THE MAJORITY OF ROUTES! I hope someone can fix this ASAP so travel can once again be convenient & not a guessing game
Response from developer
Looks like it might be a bug. Please try deleting and re-installing the app. If that doesn't fix it, please email metrowatch@barumrho.com
Great for tracking but...
Great for tracking but for some reason the locations of each individual vehicle on the line (number + run) aren’t showing up any more. This was very helpful especially for those “bus fans” out there.
It doesn’t do anything??????
What is it supposed to do?? I can’t even pin one of my stops?????? 😴
Not iOS 13.0 Compatible
Never updated. Does not show up in iOS 13.0 Setting
Close but no cigar
It’s often off by a couple of minutes. Which isn’t a problem... up until you realize that the bus left a couple minutes before you arrived and when it was supposed to.
Quite Accurate
I’ve only used this a few times while waiting for the bus, but each time, the accuracy has been amazing. Accurate to the minute, in fact. Makes my wait less stressful as I can be on my phome without constantly looking for the bus.
Utterly unreliable
This app purports to track the actual buses. It does not. It “tracks” where the buses are supposed to be, not where they are. I don’t think MTA has gps on its buses. And if they do, they’re too embarrassed to share because it will reveals how fundamentally deplorable this bus system truly is. MTA causes me to be late almost every day. The fact of MTA is an argument against public transportation. It’s a total shame.

Response from developer
I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Metro Watch. The app uses data provided by the MTA but it is not affiliated with it. Unfortunately, there is not much that I can do about the accuracy of data provided on the app. If you would like MTA to know about these issues, please report to them directly. Thank you!
ACCURATE AND RELIABLE
I’ve been using this app for two years now and still going. You won’t regret downloading this app trust me for real.
Very good live bus map
It has all the routes. I use this whenever I need to use public transit in LA.
Great app for the bus rider
Great time reminders, seems to be highly accurate. Great coverage as well.
The worst
Don’t pretend to know times...admit when your site has no idea. So frustrating
Not useful for finding metro trains
I wanted to ride the LA metro train lines. This app either does not show metro trains or merges them with all the bus lines. Once I asked it to find route near me it locked onto the bus line and did not show the metro train station or lines that were one block away. I ultimately got help from street person. You can add routes but no way to tell which are train lines. You’d think with name like it would help with Metro trains
