It a nice app it needs alittle work on the timing

G70%
by G####:

Awesome. You just got me to work on time! (for a change) It would be nice to link in the travel time between stops to get projected arrival times.

U70%
by U####:

Works on Droid Incredible, and is as accurate as the station's led sign (note the implied caveat). Needs to display the number of cars per train.

X70%
by X####:

LOVE that this app actually shows you where the different metro station entrances/exits are rather than a genetic metro dot on a map. SO useful!!!

U70%
by U####:

No offline maps, info or schedules but a usefull, simple app if you live in DC.

C70%
by C####:

It gives me the info I need to see when I have a choice of transfer points. Does anyone have the trip planner?

U70%
by U####:

Does exactly what it says, and is accurate. Sometimes quicker updates than the station signs. Great app!

This app is great if you live around the DC area or you are going on vacation there. The times are accurate. The app is easy to navigate. 5 Stars.

Z70%

Hate that I have to force close this app to stop it. Should stop tracking sending/receiving my location when I exit app it drains the battery.

Z70%

Great app to determine route/which route to take. Displays ARR/DEP times.

Z70%
by Z####:

Great App. I use it every day to know when my train will be arriving at the station. More accurate than the electronic signs in the Metro stations!

C70%
by C####:

Metro doesnt have data @ end of line stations - dont blame app. Remarkably beautiful app - WP7 style. Love the background. Go dev! Extend to buses plz

G70%

I was sitting next to a lady on the train who had this app n asked how she got it. I was skeptical @1st then upon using it I fell n love with it.

X70%
by X####:

It would be most helpful to also display the number of cars in the trains.

V70%
by V####:

This is the best Metro trains app on the market.

C70%
by C####:

I like the way this app finds the closest station to your current position

C70%
by C####:

This app is usually great, but for the last week or so it's been completely wrong with the times. Hope this will be fixed soon.

R70%
by R####:

I used to love this app and now it's frozen. Please fix! I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling but that didn't work.

C70%
by C####:

I like this app. It was the first one I downloaded since WMATA made their db available. Works pretty good. I would have given it four stars, but - Just noticed this morning for the first time that this app is using clickjacking ads. Banner ads is one thing, but to try to con the user into thinking it's a notification is BS. With handhelds being the current hot target for malware, I can not use this app or any others that use clickjacking.

C70%
by C####:

Quick and easy, not bogged down with infor mation on fares and trip planning, simple to follow interface.

C70%
by C####:

Station distance ca be Mr than 650 feet or more even with high gps

C70%
by C####:

It was great until it stopped being accurate. What happened?!?

Z70%
by Z####:

Always worked well and showed when trains were arriving-- even showed when trains were single tracking.

C70%
by C####:

Great app works great as long as u have cell coverage. Its very acurate to.

C70%
by C####:

For just rail service, this is perfect. You can store favorites which always show at the top, but you don't need out since it always pulls up the closest. The map is awesome on that out shows ALL entrances. Really easy to use and fast to pull up next train info.

C70%
by C####:

The app has a few refresh issues but overall it does well

C70%
by C####:

Does one thing simply and well. Shows closest station based on current location, unlike other app. Just wish it had buses! Also, maybe the interface could be updated to have an Action Bar so features like the map are more discoverable. I would pay for an ad-free version.
