  1. 5/5The Perfect Subway App

    Underway is marvelous. It is the navigation app that I use most consistently on the train, and for good reason. It has exactly the information I need and nothing more, and it executes it perfectly. I know how to read a map. I don’t need colorful directions and an inventive new route that combines ferries, buses, and a dollar van. I want to know when I need to leave my apartment and if it’s worth it to wait for an express train. Underway gets me the information I want and it does it without drama. It also has lots of very thoughtful touches. It works very well offline, and I like that I can send a train tracking link to people I’m meeting so that they can track me live. It’s like flight tracking but for the subway. For all its utility and minimalism, Underway also betrays the meticulousness of its creators. Changes to the subway map are added right away — the walking connection between Times Square and Bryant Park seemed to appear within hours after it opened. Everything works how I need it to, when I need it to. EDIT: The service changes are better than just about any other app now. [Previously: The only thing that might need some more nuanced adjustment is the service change interface, which shows absolutely everything affecting a train at once and can be a touch overwhelming. Other apps do service changes, though.] Nothing does what Underway does as well as Underway does it. I haven’t even written an app review in years. I just feel I have a duty to point out the rare thing in our world that is not a disgusting disappointment. This is among them. Bravo!

  2. 5/5My go-to NYC subway app

    Underway NYC is a relatively simple but perfectly capable app and is my go-to for arrival time and train service information. It shows the trains actually serving stations at that moment in time, accounting for re-routings and service changes very well. I love being able to click on a specific train and see how long until it reaches stations further down the line as it enables me to make informed decisions on connections. It doesn’t provide routing information but if you have a general sense of direction for the subway system this should be all you need to get from A to B. Highly recommended.

  3. 5/5love it - please add favorites

    The app is perfect, except it would be great to have a fifth icon ("shortcuts" or “favorites”) which would open a layer screen where you can get to all your frequently used stations with a single click, instead of having to scroll around the map. Updated to respond to the developer: For those of us who understand how to use Siri Shortcuts but prefer not to use them (for various reasons) it would be great to have the ability to access our frequently used stations with two taps inside the app (Favorites -> station name).

  4. 5/5Love this app

    This app is fantastic. You can open it and see what you need to see in less than 10 seconds. It’s awesome when a local train pulls up and you quickly wanna see how long until the express comes. Every other app has you clicking and loading and the train leaves before you find out the express isn’t coming for 10 minutes. Shoulda took that local. My only complaint is that the pro version is so expensive, I want to support the developer but $6 a month is a lot.

  5. 5/5The best NYC transit app hands down

    Must have app for all New Yorkers. Seriously. It’s helped figure out how fast I need to hustle for the next train, plan my transfers efficiently within the station, and overall peace of mind in what is the most hectic public transportation system in the country. It’s crazy accurate and always reliable. I love being able to click and see the arrival times and have the map all in the same view. A++

    This update adds the new Subway Diagram as an option in the Map Picker. Tap the Map Picker icon to select the map you want to see. When locating your self (by tapping the Locate Me button), the app will only find stations that make sense for the map on you're on. For example, if you're near the World Trade Center on the subway map, the app will no longer locate you at the WTC PATH station. The F train and M train have swapped, and I've updated the data in the database to reflect that. Lastly, this update contains the latest classic subway map and classic subway night map, published by the MTA in October.

The plan is to make those maps downloadable directly from the app. Thank you for understanding. Also, if you appreciate my app, and haven't done so already, please consider subscribing in-app! Doing so will help me get new features and bug fixes to you sooner. Thanks so much!
