NYCMate (NYC Bus & Subway)

I usually don't comment on apps but I had to for this one. This app is a lifesaver for ppl like me in nyc who use the subway all the time. Its for sure a 5 star app in my opinion only thing they need to fix an should be noted, after I downloaded the app I had to open an close it a few times before it actually downloaded an update bundle for the times an schedules. Other than that the best app out for subways times an maps at least in nyc.

What happened to the old app? All I need is the subway map. All the extra features would be great if they would actually open... it keeps saying i have "no Internet connection" even though I have WiFi and data. Why do I even need Internet connection to open an image of the subway map that should automatically be on the app anyway? Used to be a big fan of this app, but I'm uninstalling for a different one.

Used to show train times when you clicked on a station. Now that functionality has been removed. Don't know if embark had a patent on that feature or something. Afterwards it was still functional as a map but now it gives an error message of no internet connection whether I'm on 3g, 4g or wifi.

Used to work in the past. But now it always gives me this message-"no internet connection available". Without the maps, this app is just a junk. Where are the developers? Why are they not listening? What is google doing about this. This app should be removed from play store if it doesn't work at all.

This App worked great on my g2 with ginger bread but on my nexus 4 on 4.2.1 the subway map works but when you tap on any of the stations for times there are none, mysteriously. Great App when it does work. Please update it and I will gladly give you a five star rating.

I have downloaded this app before and it worked like a dream. Out of nowhere I do an update and the effing thing doesn't want to work. The only aspect functioning is the subway map. The bus aspect continues to state that there was an error when downloading the map and try again. I've uninstall and reinstall so many times in hopes of fixing the issue. This app has most definitely lost its touch

Use to be one of my most useful apps. Not anymore! Worked fine with the galaxy s2. Upgraded to the s4 and tried to down maps (no Internet connection available). Recently updated to kitkat 4.4.2 a real bummer. The app anyway.

None of the features work and I tried installing this twice already. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S3. Every station says No Times To Show and the service alerts stall out and do not download. Ok if you just want to look at maps but you can easily just download the PDF maps and it wouldn't be any different.

This app is officially broken. At least on the Nexus 5. It can no longer DL any maps. App hasn't been updated since 2011 back with that Episode 6 debacle. It's a shame the this app has been abandoned, it was the best of its kind at one point. Uninstalled

This used to be the best app out there for public transit in NYC. The only thing that still works are the subway map and Bronx bus map. Nothing else downloads. Service alerts don't work, subway times don't work, subway station maps don't work. I'm looking for something new that the developers haven't abandoned if anyone has any suggestions!

The subway map is old, needs to be updated to reflect that the R stops at Cortland in both directions. The notifications are useless. It has planned service changes from January in March and unplanned changes are never reflected. I like having the bus map. I downloaded for subway notifications since it doesn't work I'm going to find another app.

I use this all the time to quickly check bus and train stops and connections. Instantaneous because the ones I use are downloaded on my device and I don't have to wait for slow connection. However, there is a new M12 bus. I have looked repeatedly in the last several weeks but no update has appeared. This makes me think there may be other lines that have not been updated to reflect changes.

Used this fantastic app for many years on many phones. On my S6, the app reports "No Internet connection available" regardless of my connectivity, and I can't download any maps. I tried to report the bug to the developers but have received no response.

I couldn't download maps because it was saying I didn't have an internet connection. I had 3 bars of 4g but I'm guessing it needed wifi. If that's the case it should offer an option to download over my data connection. This lack of forethought and inconsistency with other apps has prompted me to switch transit apps.

Can't rate 0 stars or would. Most data seriously out of date. Handles zoom and pan well; station select feature for subway needs work. Subway scheds spotty and incomplete, no MNRR or LIRR scheds, maps over a year old. Alerts not updating; with all the data issues, no confidence in schedule data either.

Where are the times? Seem like after the new year you guys stop posting train times...I have 8 friends who use this and they complain to...maybe we all should delete and leave nasty comments! Just put the times back up! Was great...

I use to recommend this app to anyone with a pulse. The accompanying neighborhood map for the NYC subway was especially useful. Now whenever I try to download a map I get "corrupt" ones and when I try to download it again the same thing happens. What gives Densebrain??!! I don't want to uninstall this app for good but I fear that I may have no choice...

This is just a bunch of maps and MTA notices- but it has potential. I was expecting to click on a map point for bus stops and schedules. For a good model application, check out OneBusAway, for starters. Though NYC technology doesn't allow for the same precise tracking of OneBusAway, I am sure there is a way to design something that is nearly as precise, or at least as detailed. Keep up the effort. You have the beginnings of a truly useful (profitable) application.

That's what this app has become. Useless. Cannot download subway map telling me there is no internet connection when in fact I do and csn even watch youtube on this Galaxy s5. I unistalled and reinstslled, still the same. Unistalling for good now!

the 'Mate' apps used to be my go-to apps for DC and NYC, but they haven't been updated since 2011. Constant 'no internet connection available' errors, even though I have 4G LTE and wi-fi connections. Such a shame - they were great apps.

Last year I would of given this app 5 stars. I take the 2 train which is very unreliable and I could always depend on this app to tell me when the train was coming. Now, in the new year, it does not show any times at all

Now it won't recognise my internet connection to download maps. Notifications stopped working ages ago too. Uninstalled and tried again, funny how I had enough connection to download the app, but not enough for the maps apparently. Guess there's not enough internet to go around anymore. Samsung galaxy s3

It is convenient to have because. It gives you every map of the MTA system and surournding regional transit systems. The flaw is that the notifications for NYC subways and buses is never accurate in terms of line service disruptions and train schedules aren't accurate either.

This app is good, allows you to have maps for different services. I am getting a constant download error (no internet connection available) even though I am on Wi-Fi. I also don't like that the bus maps are not zoomable, very hard to see the route of the buses. If you fix these problems, the app would be a lot better.

I downloaded this app so I can know what time the trains arrive. That way I would be there when it comes but now train times are non existent. it was working pretty well for me. But if it can't do what I need it to do, what it used to do, then I have no purpose for it.

DenseBrain is now "sonic notify" and no longer supports nycmate so if the app still works for you consider yourself lucky... As far as I can tell they're now just another company that wants to track and sell your data, except by emitting beeps inaudible to humans instead of with browser cookies. Oh well!

It's annoying that it keeps prompting me to update the maps whenever the app opens. It's not that dire to have the maps from the current month (maps on the trains themselves tend be 2+ years behind). And if you accidentally hit OK button instead of CANCEL on the prompt screen when you happen to be underground ... you're without an app until it completely loads, which, if you don't have service because you're underground, wont happen. There should be a settings option to turn it off.

This use to be my favorite nyc subway app. But now since I've updated it keeps force closing and won't download the map! I never use to have a problem b4. But now it's useless!

I used to absolutely love this app, but now I've got the same "No internet connection available" bug that everyone else reviewing here has. Incredibly frustrating and disappointing. Please get this fixed!!

Great concept, but I can think of 2 things that would really help if they added: 1. Being able to zoom in more on the maps 2. Using GPS to show your current location so you can see what stops are close by and how to get to them

Used this for 3 years, tried to install on my new Galaxy S5 & app can't connect to the internet to add maps. Bummer!! Hope it gets fixed--downloading something else for now.

the maps on my Galaxy S4 are not readable because the zoom is limited only 1 step. The whole graphic engine is crap, jagging and stuff. terrible user experience. Same thing with the bus maps and the neigborhood maps, THEY ARE NOT READABLE. alerts never downloading. what is this app is supposed to do? shameful. Learn from some quality iOS app.

So far, NextTrain or nextbus has shown absolutely nothing.. where is it? It is enabled. Also the video on Google Market is showing all the features (map, directions) that are *not* available on Android.. What the heck?!

I can download the app through Wi-Fi but then the app tells me I have no internet connection to download maps. Go with "NYC bus & subway maps" from episode 6. It works much better better without all the BS

Was excited to use this app for my first visit to NY. Unfortunately, I could never get an Internet connection even though I tried several different networks.

app works great during the day but some nights doesn't give the time schedule at certain station like mine. now it doesnt show anytime at all for any station before a "bundle" update would ask to be accepted but now none of that happens.I hope this app goes back to normal otherwise its pointless to have!

But now the maps it downloads are consistently corrupt, causing the app to go into a loop of trying to delete and redownload the map. I haven't been able to view any maps for at least a month, despite having uninstalled and reinstalled the app 3 times.

This was my goto app for train maps, times & updates but now it seems the app has been abandoned. Shows "no internet connection available" when trying to download maps. Last update was in 2011. Def a dead project, it's a shame. Posted 5/6/2014

App doesn't work on my Galaxy S5, says no Internet connection am the time. Fix needed, then 5 stars again

Used to be an app i relied on several times a day, but it's completely useless now. After the last update, the maps won't download anymore. uninstalling..
