Awesome!

Great App! Very easy to use. Clear, direct, and cheap! Ill never be late again riding DC Metro!

Fast!

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!

Great App, Very Helpful

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.

System Map!!!!!!!!!

Add the official system map please!!!!! It will keep losing stars if you dont add it!

Warning: iPod touch users

Statuses are only available for the iPhone. Watch out! Dont buy if you have an iPod touch!

Times higly inaccurate

The applications looks nice and is easy to use. Too bad all the content is never accurate.

Great app...

However, the map has the Farragut North station listed on both the red and blue line; this is incorrect. On the blue line the correct station name is Farragut West.

Just What I need

Great feature set, rational app navigation, polished design, accurate information and a communicative developer. What more could one ask?

Tourist new to town

For a tourist, this app quickly finds the nearest Metro train station. Its the only app I found that puts the Metro stops on a google map that shows your current location. Watch out for battery drain in the tunnels and no signal in many places when underground.

Fast, awesome, best

Certainly the cleanest dc metro app Ive tried. Very fast and efficient. Next train?boom. Current version working great still.

Accurate, Easy to Read

I live on the Metro, so I use this all the time. Its intuitive, simple, and accurate. I especially like the overlay of the Metro on the Google map, and the ability to quickly find the nearest Metro. The time of the next train is accurate to within 20 seconds; its synched to the times you see on the Metro display boards. Time to travel to a distant Metro would be a great additional feature.

Ive tried all 4 or 5

and this is the best one yet. Just finished deleting the others off my phone, and kind of bummed I paid the collective few dollars for them. Well worth the 99 cents.

Waste

Just got this to tell next train and it says "no sign data". Hum.

Tourist love

Just visiting DC and love knowing when the train will arrive and oh... Where it is :P

Right to the point

No messing around with this app. Turn it on and youre looking at the schedule for the nearest station in seconds. Easy to decide whether to walk or run to catch the next train.

Exactly what you expect

I was taking a class next to a metro station. When class ended, I could check the app to see if I needed to hurry to catch my train. Hasnt been wrong yet. Totally worth it!

great. easy to use!

i went to dc for the first time over winter break and was totally lost the second i got off the plane. my family and i were going to use the metro the entire visit. finally i looked up dc metro on the ihpone and came up with this app. i downloaded it and it works wonderous. it helped so much on my vacation. i was able to learn the entire metro in hours thanks to this app. highly recommended for the newcomers of dc.

2 min behind

Ive been using this app for a week and times a consistently 2 min behind the metro marquee times (could be specific to yellow line).

Perfect for my uses

Wonderful app, shows me where I am, where the nearest metro station is, etc… I really like the google maps overlay.

Great app. Small bugs

This app is awesome for DC Metro though some stations consistently dont give accurate data. Over all it is one of the best apps for this out there. Dont rely on this for live updates for rail work right now though as the RSS feed is not working. (as of 18th). I wrote author but still not repaired.
