NextTrain DC Metro - AR App Reviews

The app routinely has no information available about the Vienna Metro Station.

By far the best dc metro app

Nice to know when next rain arrives but really need to know that + best estimate of time from departing station to destination station. ETA is critical.

No trip planner... the "directions to X station" thing just gives you car/bus/walking directions in the regular maps app. Not very helpful AT ALL.

Just downloaded this app. If you live in the burbs and trains are few and far between on the weekends, this is the best $0.99 youll ever spend.

Program crashes on me often but the functions are good. Trip planner feature would be appreciated, as would a neighborhood by neighborhood map with stations on it.

Overall, very necessary app if you are a DC metro rider of any type. Since I ride the metro to and from work, Im on it at least five times a week. It helps keep me efficient by not waiting long times for the next train (even though that is quite unavoidable at times, i.e. track maintenance, last train). Since I know when the next train comes, I know to hustle or just take it slow in my walk to the metro, VERY important. Dont you hate it when you miss the train by like 10 seconds or less? Lol! I hate that too! And then you have to wait for the next train which on the weekends could take 15 to 20 minutes! Or what about when u get to the staition too early and have to wait 15 to 20 minutes for the next train. Aggh! Gave it a four because it could still use some improvement. A route planner for newbs, a longer list of arrivals and departs would be a welcome addition. Still the best DC Metro app there. *** First App Store purchase and commentary*** - Sanchez

9 out of 10 times this application will be used by commuters who just need a quick look at their standard metro station. Therefore, kindly make it so that touching the icon brings me right to the "page" I looked at last time. I would like it to be a one-touch operation. Now it takes me four touches, including a message how dumb I was not to allow the program to use my current location. Seems to be no way to neither change my choice nor get rid of the message. 5 stars after these fixes.

The app doesnt give you info on arrivals and departures from Vienna. You have to guess arrival based on Dunn Loring stop!

I needed a timetable app and thought this was it. The one station I really needed, Vienna Metro, doesnt work.

Great for planning late at night or on weekends, especially if you have different connection options. Wont pull train times if theyre not available though so dont expect the app to help you everytime if the monitors are blank.

When I opened this app in Colorado, it initially asked me to set my location, which I didnt (since I was in Boulder). When I got to DC, everytime I tried to use it, it told me that the "user decided not to be located". It was totally useless. There should be a way to reset this.

Used it on a trip to DC, worked great. A trip planner would be a nice addition.

How about an updated icon!!

Promises more than it delivers. Not very user-friendly.

Lets update the icon at least.

This app doesnt allow you to reset the option of using your current location. If you mistakenly choose not to, then youll always receive a warning upon startup. Reinstalling this app doesnt help you to reset this option. Annoying.

Overall works great so far. My biggest complaint is that you cant type an address in and see the nearest stations. Add that and its at least four stars.

Excellent and easy to use, useful app. However, if you choose to not locate yourself initially, you will need to change the setting under location services.

This app fails to do two mandatory needs for a paid app. I can get a Metro map anywhere. This should show you where you are on the Metro so you can figure out where youre trying to go. Also, an app should never make you leave because it doesnt deliver something it leads you to believe it will provide - directions. Fix these simple things and its worth the cost and a good rating. For now, rating is appropriate.
