Latest reviews of Next Metro DC app for iPhone and iPad
Great App! Very easy to use. Clear, direct, and cheap! Ill never be late again riding DC Metro!
This app works better for me than the others Ive tried because its fast and easy. It immediately tells me the next train arrivals for the nearest station. I dont have to pick my station from a list in the 10 seconds I have when deciding if I should hurry or not. Great for catching that last train!
I have had other applications like this in the past, but this is the fastest and most accurate I have found. Clean interface, quick response times.... Well done.
Add the official system map please!!!!! It will keep losing stars if you dont add it!
Statuses are only available for the iPhone. Watch out! Dont buy if you have an iPod touch!
