Find A Metro Dc App Reviews

I'm only rating it low to draw attention to the fact that you need to update the app for the retina display! INCLUDING THE ICON!!! Fix the icon and I would give the app a 5!

Best metro app, but needs an update. WMATA changed the feed for the alerts.

I've noticed the circulator arrival times have become increasing unreliable. Either no data is available (probably not the apps fault so I'm complaining to them directly as well) or the data is off by a few minutes. I've had several occasions where a bus I could have caught was not listed and of course vice versa. In the beginning this app seemed to be dead on. What happened? For the metro it is great.

Just got back from a trip to DC. I used this app and my wife had another. Both had their advantages. Hers had a much better UI and was generally more pleasant / easy to use - especially with planning routes to take. However, it didn't have a trip planner (e.g. calculating the trip cost) or live time tables. Both of those came in handy multiple times. In all, it is a functional app that will help you get around DC.

I use this app ALL THE TIME, but it desperately needs an update to include the recently-opened Silver Line.

This is by far the best DC Nav App. Great real time metro data and updated often. This version already has the new prices. Great for commuters and probably a must have for any tourist with an iphone. Don't be fooled by some of the low ratings-- they're probably from its disgruntled competitors. Trust me -- I've tried them all.

Need to improve the bus arrival time search ability. Often people like to search by route and address instead of bus stop id. Also, app often crash on ios5.

I just switched to the iPhone after having a Droid and using the wonderful (and free!) DC Metro Transit app. This app is sort of a letdown by comparison. It needs more than 3 available bus stops and an easier way to select favorite stops (stop numbers are not always handy). I do like the integration of first and last trains at each station.

One of the very first dc metro apps in the App Store and it still keeps getting better.

Useful features that are easy-to-use.

Visiting DC for the first time this week and had no idea how to navigate the Metro. This app was invaluable... Using the closest stations feature (with directions) and the trip planner feature we were able to use the metro like we lived in the city. It was great knowing the cost AND number of stops as we moved from place to place (our kids could count the stops knowing when we would get off instead of asking "are we there yet?"). Also knowing the minutes until the next few arrivals was helpful. I highly recommend this app to anyone who uses the Metro, and if you are a tourist this app and a Metro card will insure you and your family have a great time!

It never fail me at all on all my daily commute, so I recommend it to everyone in my suituation.

Great in the past, but approaching trains feature is not working since last update.

The app doesn't reflect the latest fare hike

Wow! This sure made my tourist trip much easier. I'd pull out my phone and find out everything I needed to get me around DC like a local.

Keeps freezing at "Getting location"

Train trip planner is not live and only tells me general information like how long the trip will take and how much it will cost... These are things I already know as a DC resident. It would be nice to know live-time trips.

Only use was the static map. Trip planner could be useful if you already know where you're getting on & off. NEVER would show 5 nearest stations (much less walking directions). NEVER could determine my location & I was outside. POI , nor anything else would work. Save your buck, I could have gotten what I did for free. VERY disappointed!

All it needs is to be able to plan trip EXACTLY by telling us which stops to get off at for transfer if need be along with arrival times of multiple routes.

So easy and fast to use. No more waiting for the Metro. It's glorious.

...for multitasking & retina display.

You need to update the app. It constantly crashes and the searching for location feature when trying to view the map is useless

Something changed and now you need to stumble through numerous screens to find the arrival status of a train at the station you are currently looking at. Total fail.

Easy to use - well integrated - and well worth the price.

The app works well, but the trip planner still gives the trip cost for with a paper ticket, even though paper fare cards were phased out in March 2016.

I use this everyday. Impossible to navigate underground in DC without it.

This app was helpful in so many ways. I especially liked the trip planner and find the closest metro station. Takes the anxiety out of getting around DC. I also ran into a small problem. Emailed to support and got an almost immediate answer with explicit instructions.

This would be a much better app if it were updated with any kind of frequency. The Circulator map has been out of date for more than a year — it doesn't include the Rosslyn line.

I was in DC and had a problem with the app, sent an email to the company from the app menu and in about 15-20 minutes I had a response with the fix I needed! Great service, Great app!!

Not quite perfect but still EXTREMELY useful for anyone in DC. Almost a must-buy.

This is a critical application for all metro users!

This app works well. Easy to find stations, get Metro updates, time to next train, finding a route. Highly recommended.

This app was a must-have until it suddenly stopped working. You cannot add favorites or see the names of the stations when trying to find out what time a train comes. The result is that you can't see the train times -- which is what the app is designed to do, for any station.

Everything you wanted to know about getting around mass transit in DC. Loads fast! even on 3G model. Would like to have more than 3 bus stops for bus arrivals feature. Love it!

Very useful and stable. I would like to see a bit more polish and small features added like more than 3 bus stops...

Metro bus or rail schedules (including the Circulator) routes, favorite and nearby stops, maps -- this ap can do it all!

I don't want to live in DC without this app. It's the best of the lot. Note the store screenshot of the metro map is from the previous version. The author has updated the map to the new rush+ map, so don't worry it's all up to date. You won't go wrong here. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Every metro rider in D.C. should buy this app! Ive tried them all and this is THE best, hands down. Now with multi-tasking support and retina you will be hard pressed to find flaws. Find nearby stops in a flash, view train times clearly and access your favorites with a touch. I evangelize this app to all my D.C. friends and visitors. I love it need it rely on use it every day. This review updated from 3 to 5 stars with this update!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

As a frequent visitor to DC, I loaded this to my iphone4. It does all it advertises, and the service is excellent. I had an initial problem because the app was not able to find my current location. I did the "about"button on the app, stated my problem and got a solution back within 15 minutes. ( I had not turned the app on in Settings--General). That was real personal service, fast. Locations and directions to the metro AND from the metro to your destination are accurate as are the train arrival times. Well worth the money!

Iam sorry i buy this I delete it

Bought this for short trip to DC (Marine Corps Marathon). Needed accurate transit info. When I got there it was not working because I had the settings wrong on my phone. Emailed support expecting nothing as it was a weekend night and by Monday I'd be in California not needing DC transit help. Within just a few minutes I received a cheerful and helpful reply - fixed. Worked great and helped me then care for injured runners. THANKS

Just upgraded from IPhone3G (without S) to IPhone 4S... and this one works just as great. This app is perfect... amongst all the bells that such apps can come with, this one nails down to what a local or a tourist will need and that's why I still use it after about 2 years... for example.. find the closest station... then find out after how long trains are leaving at that station... in both directions. save frequent stations close to my office as favorites click on map to get to station info Simple... small.. fast! Thanks for the app!

I have had this app since it was created and I was excited about it. After coming back from Paris and having used the application that the official metro and train company of the Paris Region made, I am fairly annoyed about the fact that this app hasn't evolved into something bigger and better. The WMATA is at fault! When are we going to have an official application for the iPhone which might make the users of this expensive and already archaic Metro and Bus system in the Nation's capital worthy clients? For the app developer of this obviously free app: - look at other metro systems app around the world to get inspiration for a greater and more practical product! - you should be able to follow the buses and metros on the different lines live! It's the 21sr century! Get on it! - give ultra accurate "trips planners" with time tables according to which bus or metro you will be on during your journey from point A to point B - show a detailed map with the different lines being worked on live and where metros or buses stop because of traffic or malfunctions. I mean, these are easy points!

Lots of options- very convenient to have metrobus and circulator info in one app. Usually totally accurate with arrival times and whatnot. Not a perfect five stars only because it allows you to save just three bus stops by number for quick reference - would be way more useful with eight or ten available saves.

Downloaded for trip to DC. App only partially worked. I've used the Metro system many times before so I was primarily interested in this app for the Favorite Stations and 5 Closest Stations features. These did not work while I was in the DC area. Always got "Unable to determine your location" message. Ended up just using the map that already comes with the iPhone. The trip planner was a nice function and worked well.

Excellent app. Uses google maps and located to show closest top five metro stations. However has not been updated for new circulator route to rosalyn. Does not show closest circulator or dc bus stops. Still well worth 99 cents

Whenever I try to view the map I get a message that says "Getting Location" and I get stuck and can't view the map-please fix!!!

Unfortunately, there is not currently one single perfect app which meets all the needs of a DC transit junkie. This is one of the best, because it lets you type in the NextBus numbers directly, and it includes the Circulator as well. My only gripe is that it won't let you save more than three bus stops. But other than that, this app is pretty comprehensive. I also use myTransit DC and circ@dc.

Cannot add stations to the list of favorites.

I have no idea why anyone would be rating this app less than a 4-star. I just used it for a week and found it to be great. I didn't find one thing I disliked about it. And this was my first trip to DC so I didn't have any previous experience on the metro or even in the DC area. I used another app to determine the closet metro stop to my point of destination. It always showed the five closest stations and the trip planner was a life saver getting thru the change from one color to the next.

Fantastic!!
