## Description

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.

## Review summary

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- Data can be inaccurate or incomplete, with missing lines and outdated maps (e.g., W train, 2nd Ave/Q extension).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).
