  1. 5/5Best subway app ever!!

    Such a beautiful and simple interface. So helpful to know exactly when trains are arriving. It even shows when certain stops are being skipped. Love love love!!!! Everyone should get this if you live in nyc!

  2. 5/5The Best NYC Subway App!

    This is the best MTA transit app I’ve used. Google maps was becoming unreliable for me so I looked for a more reliable solution. Being able to see when the trains are leaving lets me use my own travel calculations to determine which line to use. It’s really an amazing piece of tech
