Features & Capabilities

NYC's favorite subway App since 2010

NextStop is the app for New York City Subway riders who don’t like to waste a minute. At a quick glance, it tells you when the next train is scheduled to arrive based on your current location, selected station, or pre-defined favorites. With this information in hand, it’s easy to figure out the quickest route between point A and point B.

A green dot indicates that the countdown is based on a recent, realtime location of the train. A gray dot indicates that the countdown is based on MTA timetables (pre-published schedules). See the help screen for more details.

Features:

Displays your favorite stations based on time of day (morning commute, evening commute, etc.).
Shows upcoming stops at all stations near your current location.
Shows upcoming stops (including times) for selected train.
Includes the official MTA map. Clicking a station displays upcoming stops for that station.
Allows browsing of lines and stations to find next stop for any train.
Displays MTA service alerts (delays, service changes) and advisories (planned work, etc).

NextStop is officially licensed by the MTA and all graphics are used with permission.

User Reviews

User reviews show strong value for real-time alerts and ease of use, but crashes, data gaps for new lines, and the removal of planning features frequently frustrate users and reduce reliability.

Pros

Real-time subway arrival times and alerts are reliable most of the time.
Clear, easy-to-use interface for viewing subway information.
Often considered more reliable than the official MTA app for subway data.
Recent updates have restored functionality and improved line coverage, earning praise.

Cons

Crashes or failing to launch after updates (iPhone X freezes, crashes on startup).
Data can be inaccurate or incomplete, with missing lines and outdated maps (e.g., W train, 2nd Ave/Q extension).
Planning features have been removed or hidden (no future arrival times, no ability to set departure times, loss of upcoming-trains list).
Favorites can disappear or become hard to manage after updates (deleted favorites; editing improvements needed).

Recent reviews

I’v been using this app for years. It’s my go to to get updated subway information and alerts. If has helped me over the years immensely. I hope it continues to be updated to reflect real time 24 hours. Sometimes the times and alerts of each line are spot on accurate and sometimes they are off. Most of the time accurate though. Great idea and app that I’m sure has helped many NYers like me and will hopefully continue to exist.
