User Reviews

Users praise the app for its simple UI and generally accurate bus times, sometimes outperforming official WMATA apps. However, recurring issues dominate: disruptive advertising (including full-screen/unskippable ads), unreliable or inaccurate train/bus times, crashes after updates, and problems locating stops or nearby stops.
Pros
  • Simple views and straightforward usability
  • Bus timing accuracy is often better than alternatives (e.g., WMATA official app or Google Maps)
  • Often regarded as the best app available for WMATA timing despite bugs
Cons
  • Intrusive ads: full-screen, auto-playing videos; difficult to skip; premium to remove ads not effectively working across updates

To begin, why are cities, station stops not within WMATA's system included in the search drop down box. Why are the times not accurate; today, one receives a different train time than yesterday. Utterly frustrating and unacceptable.

Advertising is so annoying, why pay when it has gotten more difficult to plan a trip on rail.
