Review summary

Users praise the Departures widget for PATH for putting essential timing info on one screen, with a clean, easy-to-use design and reliable, accurate departures. The home-screen widget is repeatedly described as a game changer and more convenient than the PATH app or RidePATH, and the app is noted for fast performance and developer responsiveness. However, several reviews report stability issues after updates—blank screens and widgets not functioning—and a lack of visible updates/maintenance. Users also request features like relative times or the ability to toggle between two preset stations for quick checks.

Pros

Widget on the home screen is a game changer and highly convenient.
Clean, simple, easy-to-use interface; consolidates PATH info on one screen.
Fast, accurate, and often faster than RidePATH.
Reliable for daily commuting.
Super responsive developer and overall usefulness.

Cons

App/widget can stop working after updates, sometimes presenting a blank screen.
Not seeing updates to the app or the widget; perceived lack of maintenance.

2024-07-24	Dr*****	Hate that PATH is so incompetent that I need to rely on a random person developing an app that’s actually useful but I’m so glad for this. The widget is a game changer and I rely on it as much as I do weather and calendar!
