MTA Subway Time App Reviews

What happened?

Loved this app, now suddenly I get only the stations and the train arrival times no longer populate. Help!

It WAS great

I was using this regularly for months and found it super accurate (I was the 1-2-3 lines). But a week ago it started coming up blank where it used to give u arrival times after I pressed the station- loaded on my husbands phone and same thing do its not just me.

Used to Work

Although limited, it used to work. The "planned service changes" can be checked on the MTA website so I dont care about it. However, the app stopped showing upcoming trains. All you see is a blank space under " the next train coming." Apparently no trains are running...

Not working

It has about a werk it doesnt show any info on any of the lines. Whats going on? Not cool at all. Need a new app

Unreliable

The app is broken again. It was down for over a week, worked for a few days, and now isnt loading any train times again. I found another app that has more features and is more reliable.

Bad

This does nothing. It doesnt have all the lines. Useless

Finally

It may not be pretty but it works for the most part and its pretty much accurate when it does. Ive been waiting for an app to do this for a long time. Hope they continue to add more lines!

Such a disappointment

Amazing how an app so good in theory could be so poor in execution. Few train lines included in this beta + not showing any arrival/departure times now = waste of time and total let down. I have already deleted the app, hopefully the MTA will get it together after this dismal showing.

Terrible app

You can only access info for 8 out the 21 subway trains. So if your not the 8 then its a wastes of time and is useless to you.

Feeling Left Out

Uhm, where are the rest of the train lines?

Only has info for a few subway lines

This app doesnt have any info on the ACE, BDFM, NQR, or G trains. This app is a waste of space on my phone and I am going to delete it now. Next time include all the subway lines in NYC or dont even bother! No thanks MTA!

Mr

Where is N or Q?

Horrible

This is a horrible stupid useless app!!

Terrible

Design is awful, doesnt have all the trains. Whats the point?

5 star for sure

Some kids complain app only has a few trains on it. Guys. GROW UP and dont be a hater. If you use those lines the app is great. If you dont. Dont use the app. On the negative. It has about a one minute delay vs. the screens in the station. So subtract 1 from the time if you can. But this is THE most useful app I have used. Train times. Delays. Construction. Makes it easy to male decision to use subway or bus.

A poor start

Nice idea but who wasted time and (NYCs) money designing this dumpster of an app? Absolutely no understanding of iPhone app interface guidelines. Not retina, doesnt flick, etc. Find a high school kid that actually knows how to develop and fix this crappy app. Also, fix the actual train service.

Limited

Only works for the few lines that have countdown clocks. Not timetables.

Good but...

The app is very good...but I dont like how you can only access the Lexington avenue trains and the 7th avenue trains. (Please note that the avenues are all in Manhattan)

Interface

The user interface is hideous. Change it seriously.

Good Idea; Doesnt Work

This is a really good idea, but it doesnt work. I tried comparing the app to the actual electronic clocks at subway stations (which are actually quite accurate). There was no relation between the two. In fact, the app tended to be wildly off at times. Also, this is less of an issue, but the user interface is of poor quality. Looks like a website from the 90s dressed up as an app.
