5/5Quite Accurate
I’ve only used this a few times while waiting for the bus, but each time, the accuracy has been amazing. Accurate to the minute, in fact. Makes my wait less stressful as I can be on my phome without constantly looking for the bus.

1/5Does NOT work anymore
Although they still had MetroWatch brochures on their buses last week, it doesn’t work. I thought paying to have the ads removed would remedy the issue, but no… it doesn’t show anything on the app whatsoever. And I just found that when looking at the reviews for this app, many positive ones were at the top of the page… but when I sorted to the most recent, many said it wasn’t working. Should have looked in the first place. What a waste of money and time. Those brochures should have been removed from the buses. I’m going back to Google Transit.

5/5ACCURATE TIME ESTIMATES FOR BUS ARRIVAL
Previously, I was using NextBus app to plan my trips and to get around Los Angeles. Eventually, the NextBus app was updated. It became useless. I then searched for other apps and found METRO app. METRO app is excellent in so many ways. The layout and functionality of the app works well. So, I deleted the NextBus app from my iPhone

5/5Very accurate

1/5Not useful for finding metro trains
I wanted to ride the LA metro train lines. This app either does not show metro trains or merges them with all the bus lines. Once I asked it to find route near me it locked onto the bus line and did not show the metro train station or lines that were one block away. I ultimately got help from street person. You can add routes but no way to tell which are train lines. You’d think with name like it would help with Metro trains
