User Reviews

The app is praised for accurate timing and live bus mapping with easy pinning and notifications, covering LA routes. Yet many reviews report it no longer works, with data (times and routes) failing to display, and updates removing features like pins and routes. When functional, it’s reliable and fast; otherwise users face outages and seek alternatives.

Pros

Accurate arrival times (often to the minute when data is available).
Real-time bus locations on a map with route visibility.
Ability to pin favorite stops and receive notifications.
Broad coverage of LA transit routes and fast-loading performance.
Historically reliable and easy-to-use interface for years.

Cons

App currently stops functioning for many users, with arrival times and routes not displaying.
Recent updates appear to reduce functionality by removing pins and most routes, making it much less useful.
Times can be off by minutes or unreliable at times, leading to frustration.

Although they still had MetroWatch brochures on their buses last week, it doesn’t work. I thought paying to have the ads removed would remedy the issue, but no… it doesn’t show anything on the app whatsoever. And I just found that when looking at the reviews for this app, many positive ones were at the top of the page… but when I sorted to the most recent, many said it wasn’t working. Should have looked in the first place. What a waste of money and time. Those brochures should have been removed from the buses. I’m going back to Google Transit.
