## Review summary

Users generally praise NYC Subway Sounds for authentic ambience, nostalgia, and diverse announcements (like 5 and V trains). Many value offline use and its potential for creative projects. Common drawbacks include a limited sound catalog, requests for full announcements and user-submitted sounds, and occasional compatibility issues on newer iPhone models. The app is loved for atmosphere but needs more content and broader device support.

### Pros

- Authentic NYC subway sounds and ambience that feel nostalgic and immersive
- Includes multiple train announcements (e.g., 5 train, V train) for realism and memory recall
- Offline use (works without internet) for on-the-go listening
- Good for creative usage like soundboard-style projects, videos, or simulating a train conductor
- Calming ambience and nostalgic appeal for some users (including kids or those on the autism spectrum)

### Cons

- Limited sound catalog with requests for more sounds and full announcements (SMEE)
- No option for users to submit their own sounds or contribute content
- Compatibility/performance issues on some devices (e.g., reports of not working on iPhone 15 Pro Max)
- Desire for more updates and content (e.g., 2025 update)
