MBTA See Say for Android
No idea if it's any good
Will give 5 stars if alerts come at a reasonable time. I did not receive alerts until the afternoon.
Although I fortunately haven't needed to send an alert it's comforting to have what promises to be a real-time aid. In the past some idiot in the train would do something awful and all I could do was wish I could report it to police. Now I probably can. Service alerts is not this app's primary purpose. Giving 1 star because it didn't give a service alert makes no sense. It's a perk of the app. Thanks MBTA for this.
ammending my previous review -- now, I'm not getting alerts for any service I've checked off. But I am getting ones for a bus that I didn't know existed before the app told me it was stuck in traffic.
Such an important app. The MBTA and transit police can't cover EVERYTHING, so they need the help of the public.
Have several lines selected for alerts and only receive one bus route. No subway alerts received . nexus 6 user.
Excellent
No idea if it's any good
At least two bus routes are miss hi my in alert setting section: 217 and 230.
Awesome
This app is for Boston MBTA.
MBTA See Say
There appears to be no way to fully turn off the alerts notification function, which is annoying when the MBTA insists on sending out alerts about mundane things like service being extended to due to a football game. At first look the alerts feature appears well designed, with the ability to select only the transit lines you care about, but evidently there are global type alerts that go out even with no lines selected. Getting an alert at 12:45 AM about service being extended when you have no transit lines selected is absurd. If there were a way to turn off the alerts notification but still have the app installed for viewing alerts and reporting issues I may have kept it installed.
I am using the samsung gallaxy duscover phone model # sch-s735c. I try to use it, but it keeps going back to the first page, the legal agreement page, I tap agree, then it goes to my info, I fill it out, then it goes to the alerts page I pick bues then route 119. Then it goed back to the legal agreement. And it starts all over again, I get no where with this app. So, I am unibstalling it until you get it fix.
Galaxy S3. I have this primarily for the service alerts, since the MBTA killed off the RSS feed. Unfortunately, the alerts have gone from unreliable to virtually nonexistent. The only alerts I occasionally get are from the MBTA police, even though I have multiple lines selected.
I haven't used it and am thinking about uninstalling it. It self starts don't like that.
Alerts don't work.
Awesome
Uninstalled
Bad
Check boxes for T alerts won't stay checked.
Well done! Nice and easy to use UI that is far nicer looking than most gov'ment based apps. No obligation to ID oneself, providing anonymity if you want. It also does service alerts for all MBTA busses, rails and boats! This is a great way to allocate resources more efficiently making transit a safer, more enjoyable experience. All T riders with a smart phone should have this app on standby...
Force closes every time I open. Samsung Exhibit II using CM9

...However, the true test will be in having to actually use it (which I hope is never the case). Otherwise, a great tool to have on standby. (Pantech Crossover)
Very fast and easy to use, very handy. Thanks
Use thid to notify authorities if you see anything
I don't get alerts anymore, and I don't think that's a good thing. Also, if I could customize the alert sound, that would make it much better when I actually do get them...

Could be really good but images sent don't get recieved in a timely manner. Alerts are from the MBTA are delayed when they come at all.
