Subway Now vs SimpleFlight

Subway Now (formerly The Weekendest) is the ultimate companion app to ride the NYC Subway. Simply open it to see all nearby arrival times in zero taps, and go! Subway Now is the first and only realtime New York City Subway map app: - Track live train locations - Get the most accurate train arrival predictions across nearby stations - Check live train statuses and delays - View current subway service pattern on a map, including re-routes and skipped stops - Track your train's estimated arrival time and connection times right on your Lock Screen* - Check connection times before you arrive at your transfer station - Departure time and service status Widgets for your Home Screen or Lock Screen From the Press: "With one tap, [Subway Now] identifies your location and current travel options... look ahead to transfers. Service Changes are in view as part of the complete picture of possible rides." - PIX11 News "Several voices on Twitter pointed out that a digital MTA map, arguably superior, already exists. At a transportation conference in Brooklyn last year Sunny Ng unveiled an open-source creation he calls The Weekendest — a riff on the name of the MTA’s previous service-change map, called The Weekender." - Bloomberg CityLab "To go beyond the MTA service alerts, you need to look at headways, which is the time between trains on a line. I can use [Subway Now] to easily see where the trains are bunching or slowing due to issues and plan accordingly." - VICE Motherboard From our users: "Your app has seriously improved my knowledge of the subway system by getting me to do more of my own routing. It’s like using a multiplication table instead of a calculator." "Because of this app, I had the information needed to hustle to my train or make a connecting transfer, before a gap in service." "MTA has planned weekend and night service and this helped me find an easy way home." "Being able to see exactly where your train is minute by minute is unbeatable." "Nothing else comes close to reliable realtime information for the subway, not even the station display boards." Additional Features: - Our own data-driven service alerts, delay detection, integrated with MTA official alerts - Save favorite subway stations for easy access - Customizable Trip Arrival alerts, be notified when your train is about to arrive* - Light mode/dark mode support - Station accessibility notices, and accessibility station filter - Optimized for intermittent offline viewing (you know how it is underground) - iOS 26 support - No ads! * Background Trip Tracker and Trip Arrival Alerts require paid subscription add-on Terms of Use: https://www.subwaynow.app/terms-of-use-ios Privacy Policy: https://www.subwaynow.app/privacy-ios

SimpleFlight answers the questions that matter before a VFR flight: how far, how long, how much fuel, what the weather is doing along the way, what airspace is in the way, and what the destination looks like when you get there. Built by a pilot, for the United States, for VFR. Saying no to everything else is what keeps it simple. PLAN • Pick a departure and destination. Press and hold the route line to bend it around airspace; it snaps to nearby airports, VORs and fixes. • Choose from legal VFR hemispheric altitudes, each with its headwind or tailwind and time en route from current winds aloft. • Get wind-corrected heading, groundspeed, time, fuel burn and reserve for your airplane. WEATHER • Decoded METARs and TAFs for reporting airports along the route, colored by flight category. • Animated winds at your cruise altitude, radar and satellite on the map. • Winds aloft table for 6, 12 and 24 hours. SIGMETs, G-AIRMETs and pilot reports in the corridor. ROUTE PROFILE • A side view of the route: terrain under it, your cruise altitude, Class B, C and D shelves, cloud bases from METARs and the freezing level. • Highest terrain on the route and your clearance at cruise, with a preview of every VFR altitude. • Edit the route from the profile: find the ridge, drop a waypoint there and drag it around, then re-plan in place. MAP RULER • Hold two fingers on the map to measure distance, magnetic course from each end, and no-wind time and fuel. AIRSPACE AND TFRs • Class B, C and D with floors and ceilings. Shelves that apply at your altitude stand out; the rest fade back. • TFRs on or near the route, checked against your planned time and altitude, with the NOTAM text a tap away. DESTINATION • Headwind and crosswind for every runway, with the favored runway marked. • A to-scale runway diagram and the expected traffic pattern, drawn on the map when you zoom in, with left or right traffic from FAA data and pattern altitude. • Frequencies, elevation, fuel, sunrise and sunset. SHARE • Send the route to ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot in one tap, or export a Garmin FPL file, waypoints included. YOUR DATA • No account needed. Without one, nothing you enter leaves your device. • Optional Sign in with Apple syncs your airplanes and plans between iPhone and iPad. Export or delete your account any time in Settings. • No ads. No tracking. IMPORTANT SimpleFlight is a planning aid. It is not an official weather or NOTAM briefing, it is not approved by the FAA, and it is not for navigation. Data can be late, incomplete or wrong. Terrain comes from USGS elevation data and does not include towers or other obstacles. Traffic patterns and runway diagrams are schematics; ATC instructions and published procedures take precedence. The pilot in command is responsible for every decision. Get an official briefing and check current charts before every flight. Data: Aviation Weather Center (NOAA), FAA, USGS, Iowa Environmental Mesonet, Open-Meteo.
