** FEATURE DETAILS
TRIP TRACKING, STATUS, AND NOTIFICATIONS
• MetroMinder tracks every passenger train moving on the DC Metrorail system (on a separate MM server using its TripSync™ System) - which is used to derive/display data to help riders plan trips, track trip progress, and alert riders about trip status/progress.
Trip Tracking Screens include:
• Current/Next Stop Name
• Estimated Arrival Time
• Estimated Minutes Left in Trip
• Number of Remaining Stops
• List of Remaining Stops and the Estimated Minutes to Arrival
• Metro “Alerts” Relevant to the Trips Defined
• Progress Alerts/Notifications (e.g. “Time to Get Off the Train!”)
PERFORMANCE "HEATMAPS"
• MetroMinder DC provides color coded displays showing station-to-station performance of trains tracked by MetroMinder. Provides a great way to visualize current train performance and see the specific location of delays. No more need to guess whether that ALERT might effect your commute, just check the "MM HeatMaps"
TRACK OTHER TRIPS
• Users can monitor other trips tracked by MM by entering the MM TripId for the trip. Makes it easier to meet up with a co-worker, spouse, or friend or get picked up at the destination station - just tell them your MM TripId and they can monitor the trip using MetroMinder.
EQUIPMENT OUTAGES (Accessibility Assistance)
• Equipment outages are shown visually for stations w/outages (helps riders w/accessibility needs to plan their trips)
EXPANDED TRAIN ARRIVAL INFO
• MetroMinder provides arrival data for more trains at each station than other apps or even the Metro web site.
• Arrival data is shown for ALL trains moving the rider toward the destination - providing more options to plan commutes
• MetroMinder shows “Scheduled” Trains – after the list of available “live” trains.
“END STATION” PREDICTION DATA
• MetroMinder uses its live TripSync tracking data to derive/display arrival/prediction data for “end stations” (something not available from Metro or other apps) – further expanding data to help riders plan commutes.
DATA FOCUSED ON THE RIDER
• MetroMinder filters all data (e.g. tracking, alerts, prediction data, etc.) to show data pertinent to the rider's trip – helping riders quickly assess information (e.g. prediction displays show only trains moving the rider toward the target destination - eliminating trains going in the wrong direction.
• Displays show which trains are “Direct” and which would require a “Transfer” and only shows Metro Alerts related to the rider’s trip
CREATE, SAVE, AND LOAD FAVORITE TRIPS
• Users can save and load frequently used trips and name them whatever they like: “Home to Work,” “Work to Home,” or other frequent commuting options.
RUSH HOUR PLUS

I look at heat maps in morning to decide to metro or drive. Heatmap is a graph and I can quickly glance and decide. When on train I track a "favorite" trip and go heads down into reading Express. Then before my stop my phone vibrates and lets me know to get off at next stop. Don't need to pay attention to speaker garble or look at window to see where I am. I just look at app. Only complaint is sometimes at end station there is no data but I figure this is a metro data problem.

I try to set a Metro Rail trip and it stalls won't load trips or stations now. Sill freezing not responding? I'll record a screen video or upload it to YouTube for all to see what I see on my Note 4... O.K I got this update on my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 first now on my Galexy Note 4. It looks great and functions much better than before. I'll try it out during the work week and let you know then.

Was great. Only app I know that shows you where all the trains are on the line but now this crashes frequently. The red line page has no scrollbar so I can't see down to silver spring. Fixes needed badly.

Using heat maps to estimate Metro traffic is a good idea but this app is constantly freezing or not responsive. If I can't scroll down to my stop, it's very helpful

This is the only app that gives me exactly what I want. The only complaint I have is the alarm doesn't play through the headphones, but through the phone speaker.

This app works on a hit-or-miss occasion. Usually on a miss. It regularly Misses alerting at the destination..Unfortunately, you need to pick your arrival train before you actually get on the train...this is not always possible. Please allow the ability to pick the arrival train after boarding...the app shows the future trains, have it also show past trains. This way we can select the arrival train prior to the hassle of getting onto the train. Other than that, this thing works great on my Samsung Note 8.

Crashes when trying to go to the settings page. In fact, you have to click on the iPhone-styled menu button and select settings to attempt this. Once you do, the settings page loads for a brief second and then the app crashes. The Android overflow menu button lists settings underneath, but it doesn't actually do anything. This just seems to be a poorly ported iPhone app that has a lot of potential, but it needs to be redesigned for Android.

I prefer DC Metro Transit for simplicity, load time, and it also includes buses. This app needs a legend for the heat maps. Does red mean long wait times at that station? If not, what? Setting up trips to track is not intuitive; a help file would be useful. Also: SV line not appearing in trackable trips to /from Eastern Market.
