5/5The best app for *accurate* subway tracking
No other app so consistently shows proper weekend and overnight reroutes and random service disruptions. It always knows how the trains are ACTUALLY running. My favorite feature is being able to see upcoming train departures at any station relative to the train I’m already on. So I can decide where to transfer or IF to transfer, especially when I’m in a rush.

5/5Extremely useful and detailed timesaver
The Weekendest has saved me so much time with its detailed train position and arrival time features. Because of this app, I had the information needed to hustle to my train or make a connecting transfer, before a gap in service. The app is easy to use and gives me the info I need to travel quickly and smartly. Five stars, very well deserved!

5/5Super helpful for weekend subway travel
MTA has planned weekend and night service and this helped me find an easy way home when Google Maps was telling me to do all sorts of funny business. Saved 15 minutes of walking in the rain!

5/5Best transit app
Saw a posting on reddit about it. Then saw an article in one if the local papers. Im sitting on train now and want to know which stop to transfer at so I downloaded it. This app is best transit app the city has ever seen. Is the M train coming in three minutes or thirty? This app will tell you!

Broadbro · 31 Jul 2026
5/5Outperforms every other transit app for New York
I cannot stress how useful this app has been when I’m trying to figure out when trains are actually going to make it to the station! The MTA app, Citymapper and google maps pale in comparison in terms of accuracy!
