### 4/5 — Good map

*2024-07-14, version 4.0.1*

Thanks

### 3/5 — Bad advertisements

*2024-06-08, version 4.0.1*

Sometimes the time is off by a min or two, so keep in mind these are approximates. If you get to the station 2-3min before the train you should be fine. Great app in general but has ads in other languages that do not show an “X” that allows you to close the add and go back to the app. Also, please remove the feature that defaults to walking routes.

### 1/5 — No internet connection

*2023-12-10, version 4.0.0*

Typical of everything  DC. This app is horrible. When you put in the location you want to go it gives you both directions the train travels to instead of giving you the direction of the train you need to get on. That makes zero sense like everything else in this city.

### 1/5 — Future trip

*2023-11-16, version 4.0.0*

Not obvious how to plan future trip with app. No simple "change time" command.

### 2/5 — Only very few destinations can be searched.

*2023-10-30, version 3.1.0*

Only very few destinations can be searched. You have to search the map visually to see the closest destination to use and again for the starting/origin point in case you’re trying to plan ahead. Basically is mainly for someone who already knows it’s way around the city.

### 1/5 — Map out of date

*2023-10-18, version 3.1.0*

I live off the newest portion of the silver line and this app hasn’t been updated at all in the last year to include the new stops when they opened. Absolutely useless for me.

### 2/5 — Good overview of routes, but no pricing of trips.

*2023-10-17, version 3.1.0*

Bad malware popup ads. Add needs to be screened!

### 1/5 — Ads ruin it

*2023-10-13, version 3.1.0*

Intrusive ads that freeze your phone and can’t be stopped.  You will miss your train just waiting for the map.  Very little information about delays or closings.  Skip or delete

### 1/5 — Half of silver line is missing from map

*2023-09-27, version 3.1.0*

Terrible/ Half of silver line is missing from map

### 2/5 — Meciocre

*2023-08-18, version 3.1.0*

Poor information, difficult to use.

### 1/5 — Map is way out date

*2023-08-16, version 3.1.0*

The map is wrong and is missing stations

What a terrible app. Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Unusable - too much ads

Does not show what you need

### 1/5 — Confusing. Not user friendly at all.   Does not show schedules

*2023-07-06, version 3.1.0*

Trying to plan a trip from Pentagon City to Farragut West.  The app is hard to follow

### 1/5 — Unusable

I found this map difficult to resize and easy to loose your place.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Train incorrect

*2026-08-18, version 4.2.1*

Metro train indicated one color and it was another color. I rushed for incorrect train. Very very annoying.

### 1/5 — Very long ads to watch

*2025-09-23, version 4.1.0*

Way too many loooong ads to watch when you want to use the app.

### 1/5 — Not teal planner

*2025-07-06, version 4.1.0*

It appears the ad free only allows real time trip data. Tried to change day snd time for future and it would not update. 

Hook to upgrade to the ad free international 2025 version provided only walking trip plans, not public transit or other. 

Useless unless you pay to play.

### 1/5 — Visitors don’t count!

*2024-08-01, version 4.0.1*

I’m heading to DC and staying in a hotel. I put in the address of where I’m going thinking it would tell me what stop to get off. Nope!!  It’s been a few years since I’ve used Metro. It use to tell me that info.

### 1/5 — A very useless app

*2024-04-20, version 4.0.1*

Just a scam to make you click on ads. Just download the PDF and put it on your phone!

### 1/5 — Orange screen

*2024-01-26, version 4.0.0*

This app no longer works. All I get is an orange screen.

### 1/5 — App won’t work

*2024-01-23, version 4.0.0*

All I see is an orange screen these days.. might wanna fix that!

### 1/5 — Nothing but an orange screen

*2024-01-15, version 4.0.0*

Nothing but an orange screen

### 1/5 — No ads please

*2023-12-25, version 4.0.0*

Thanks

### 1/5 — Free version not recommended

*2023-12-19, version 4.0.0*

The ads were so intrusive and lengthy on the free version that I often gave up and just went to Google Maps.

### 5/5 — Washington DC has an iPad version guys

*2023-07-23, version 3.1.0*

I have a review or nothing

### 5/5 — Live Mapping

*2023-02-01, version 3.1.0*

The app is good for planning. However, considering that the app is purchased, it should provide a live GPS map for easier tracking.

### 5/5 — DC Metro

*2022-12-12, version 3.1.0*

Favourite and easiest Metro app to use. Love the feature that allows me to plan a trip for a future date. Only critique—would love to see elevator outages within the app.

Would like alerts on track down time 

Will wait and see

### 5/5 — Fix your systems map

*2022-03-10, version 3.0.7*

Junk

### 5/5 — Useful route info but can’t rely on timetable

*2022-02-15*

I like the maps and route info but find that the time table is almost always wrong. Not reliable for scheduling.
