User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise DC Next Bus for its map-centric approach, showing nearby stops and routes quickly, and for being fast and easy to use. Users rely on it daily and appreciate features like highlighting routes and support for Metro. However, recurring issues undermine the experience: arrival times are often unreliable; stops and updates data are outdated or missing, requiring frequent database updates; recent UI changes caused glitches; some lines (Ride On) don’t appear; and the app lacks some navigation tools like station/route search.

Pros

Map-centric design shows nearby stops and routes quickly.
Fast, minimal UI that presents the needed info without extra menus.
Widely dependable for daily commuting and generally useful.
Ability to highlight routes and support for Metro in the map view.
Intuitive map layout that makes planning trips easier than other options like the WMATA site.

Cons

Arrival times are frequently inaccurate or unreliable across many stops.
Stops and route data are outdated or missing; frequent update prompts and some stops not showing up.
Recent updates cause glitches or break data interfaces with WMATA, making the app unstable.
Limited navigation options; no search by station or route, making it hard to plan trips beyond the map.
Ride On support is not functioning; some lines do not appear.

App worked fine for years, then suddenly started giving me pornographic thumb nails. Do not download.

In the span of about a month this app went from being amazing to one that doesn’t work at all. Ever since they updated the user interface, it’s been nothing but glitchy. Now it doesn’t show bus times for any stop at all. It’s really a shame, for about 10 years I used this app everyday.

Latest update doesn’t seem to interface with WMATA data and shows every bus stop as having no arrivals. Please fix!! This is the only useable app for WMATA.
