## Description

Exit Strategy NYC Subway Map shaves minutes off every subway trip by helping you position yourself for the fastest exit. Plan in advance, choose the optimal car, and navigate stations with confidence—all offline, no internet required.

Features include an official MTA subway map (zoomable and interactive), official MTA bus maps for all five boroughs, and a comprehensive Manhattan map with address ranges from the MTA Neighborhood Maps. Exit diagrams show exits, transfer points, and elevators—often down to the optimal door—plus hours when exits close. The app works entirely offline in the subway and has been praised by NYTimes, NY Post, NY Mag, Gizmodo, Wired, and more.

## Review summary

Users consistently praise Exit Strategy for saving time with precise exit guidance and its long-standing reliability. It offers detailed, offline-friendly maps and is valued by both locals and visitors. However, data can be outdated at times, some stations lack data or fail to load, and it provides no real-time updates. Occasional bugs and past worries about ongoing development are noted, though recent updates have improved the app.

### Cons
