SUBWAY:NYC - Map + Train Times Reviews

by Riccola Popcorn

SUBWAY asked me to write a review while i was on the this app, and i couldn't write a review because i didn't have a cell service connection. i would give it 1.5 stars cuz i like the nyc this app a lot but i can't give half star ratings so rip

my wife told me i could just round the rating up to 2 stars but i can't compromise my integrity, it would be lying to the american people. practically lying straight to obama on a tribunal in front of the united nations of america. but i wanted to cover my bases so i wrote this paragraph instead. have a good evening y'all, stay free or whatever.

Overall there are good bones in SUBWAY. However, there are problems. The train times are wildly inaccurate. Don’t attempt to use them. Also, the UI is a bit confusing, a lot of symbols are used and I have no idea what they mean. For example, there are wifi symbols on some trains… why? What does that mean? It also randomly crashes. This all points to a good concept and foundation but poor technical execution.

Made by hobbyists probably. Good app by that standard! Fine if all you want is a map (although developers please eliminate safe area at the bottom of the map, unnecessarily white block on main screen seen on iPhone X models.

But users, you should try a professionally developed full featured app like Citymapper, waaay more functionality (eg this app exits, best position in this app cars to take)

There is a popup that asks me to review SUBWAY almost every time I use it, it's obtrusive and annoying.

I do like the functionality, useful when I don't have service. The only thing that I would add is easier info that tells you which trains are express throughout Manhattan.

Love the map,

But, I also like to check the train schedule using this and I’ve been standing here waiting for my A train while it’s told me that there have been 3 trains scheduled to go by since standing here and it lied because there have been ZERO trains. Making up fake trains is cruel.

Loads quickly, and doesn’t have obtrusive ads! Works great. The one downside is that the map isn’t totally up to date. (It is missing the reinstated M train service between Myrtle Ave and Myrtle-Wyckoff aves.)

Reliable and accurate. Makes navigating the this app system much easier.

Not a trip planner or anything. Just a useful map that can be used along with Google Maps to create the whole experience. If you guys come up with a way to include a trip planner, that will be worth the 5 stars rating

Well-functioning app for the NYC this app. Train times displayed on SUBWAY are actually pretty good. It doesn't take into consideration any deviations (weekend re-routing, etc), so something to keep in mind.

If you want to know when trains will be at a particular station or which trains you can catch at a particular station, SUBWAY does the job.

Opens fast and displays the this app system map. Quick zoom in/out. Save your favorite stations and see how long until your train arrives.

Having a static picture of the this app system is a huge plus for any regular this app rider. I like that train data is reported by fellow New Yorkers who I trust miles more than the MTA. I still use other maps to plan journeys and think that feature could be expanded but SUBWAY does exactly what it said it would and so I can’t really fault it for that.

by Ad Free? Not So Much.

There have been multiple occasions on which I've used SUBWAY to prevent myself from getting lost in the city.

It’s my go to map when I go to the city! I just feel secure having it on my phone.

SUBWAY is very user friendly and provides whatever you need regarding service and what’s not in service which is key to planning a trip.

Simple functionality. Look at a PDF map, pinch and zoom, save your favorite stops and see when the next few trains are set to arrive. Can't beat it for free!!

I LOVE SUBWAY because its just the basic map of NYC this app which can be used while underground. No bells and whistles but its exactly what you need when looking to see location of stops. I highly recommend.

by Tac0bella

No wifi needed. Good map to have on hand when I need to confirm what trains I can catch or my different options if I have a general sense of the area and don't need to google. Map updates itself too. E.g., W train is now reflected in map. Thanks!!

Very simple and works offline, which is important when ‘down under’ where there is no service. I refer to it often and don’t get hung up with ads that are in the way of what I need to see, sometimes in a moments notice.

Easy to use, accessible offline, clear and crisp graphics, couldn't ask for more really
