User reviews

Love this app dearly, would gladly pay one-time instead of monthly.

Simple and reliable. This app is part of my daily life. I just wish the creator would have an option for a one-time fee as opposed to monthly tiers.

Response from developer

I removed all the pay walls, and all features are unlocked. Now it's ads, or subscribe to remove ads. I hope this new price structure helps you subscribe

Great app!

I’ve been using this app for about 6 months now. It really helps to know when a connecting train is arriving. Before using this app, I would try to get a glimpse of the screens on the platform, but most times I couldn’t see it. This app alleviates that. It’s super simple to use and always accurate

New ad on ad-free version slows departure time loading

There is a new ad placement on departure board bubble which delays loading times. I purchased the ad free version but now this ad has been added.

Bus Schedules Please

The map oriented interface is better than the official MTA app. However, the Pro subscription will need to include Buses schedule to justify the fees. I use the bus and subway to get around the entire 5 boroughs and the bus and subway schedules are indispensable.

Best subway app

Actually useful organization of information and train times unlike MTA app, thank you!!
