iTrans DC Metro App Reviews

80 add

Good point of reference.

Useful on a train to keep track of where you are and where your stop is. Cant always sit by the one on the train.

Fix Location Services

Please fix this app to enable "While Using This App" in Location services. Requiring only "Always" and "Never" as options is sloppy coding and unnecessary.

Good but doesnt group trains correctly

Groups wrong direction trains together at each stop. If you know the directions well enough its great for referencing times.

Must have for commuters

I am able see how close the trains are to their schedule time; a must have for commuters.

Needs help with user-friendly development

The initial search feature for directions is not very good. The app defaults to displaying only subway transportation between metro stations. If youre not at a metro station and allow the app to search for directions from your current location, it will tell you that no routes can be found, and THEN gives the option to change the transportation mode to include buses. No option to walk anywhere. The default time is always set to the current time, so if youre looking up routes while the metro system is not functioning, it will also tell you that no route can be found. Very annoying.

App Doesnt Work???

app doesnt show bus stops nor train times & the only directions are to walk.

Great Resource for Newbies/Tourists!

As a new visitor to DC who is not used to subways, this app was awesome! I put in my destination from my current location (which you can change if you want), tap start, and it directs you to the nearest Metro station and then gave me choices of which line to use, which was nice when one of the other lines had a delay. It tells you which stop to exit the train, whether you have to transfer lines, and then it lets you know how far you have to walk and shows a map with your route marked out. At each stop you can tap the "locate" arrow at the bottom left and it will usually update which stop youre at (not always, but it did by the next stop) or where youre walking. This app definitely gave me confidence using the subway system. I also found it helpful to select to be notified of all advisories that came out. It just helps you make a wiser decision as to which line to choose if more than one is an option.

Buggy

The app doesnt always work.

Which direction?

-apparently for orange blue and silver lines they dont even know what direction the trains run. They are mixed up.

Good but

Ok app but why would you track my location always instead of only when using the app??

Awful GPS

GPS places location at wrong place on map. Map is lousy too.

Out of date schedules.

NH1 bus line doesnt run from Branch Avenue any more. App gave bad directions.

Unreliable

This app is almost as unreliable as Metro itself. I dont get alerts and the real time train update is never accurate. The BL/OR/SL line has been suspended and I have yet to get an alert.

Push Alerts Arent Working

For the past week, I have not been getting push alerts or advisories even though theyre enabled. There were two major disruptions last week and on the first one, I had no idea until I got to the station and I was two hours late for work. When you tap the e-mail button, it says theyll back to you "as soon as we can". I emailed them three times and they still wont respond.

If live feed isnt working its useless

Live feed was down today and since the metro never sticks to the schedule the app becomes useless for timing trains.

Awesome!!

I use this app all the time I use it for work and to visit my boyfriend I love this app I use it to see what train Ill use and what time to aboard it and to my final destination highly recommend it

Useful App!

No complaints at all, very accurate and the line advisories are update.

Good for quick reference

Favorite part about this app is being able to tap any metro station and it shows you what trains are departing and when. I just moved to DC, and this is great

Never right

This app is awful! It never has the right information. Never use this app to find train schedules or track work...so basically its useless.

Works well with

The Moove-it app. Thank god for the constant service and interruption alerts. WAMATA needs to get its act together!
