DC Metro Bus Reviews

Terrible for a first timer. Ask someone rather than use DCMetroBus for information.
Make a link or button for first time users. Make a short list of what to do in layman’s terms.
A quick search line to input a train station that will then pop up on the map showing where that station is would be helpful.
A button to click “find me” which shows your phone location on a map and the closest station to you.
A map/directions feature to input a station and it will show you on the map with a route to that station.

Even after paying for an increased functionality DCMetroBus is less than mediocre. Don’t waste your time. Very little detail, shuts off constantly, and after giving it a chance and paying for the location function DCMetroBus got even worse.

I’m new to Dc and looking for a transportation app and have been testing a few. This one doesn’t work. No matter what I click on it doesn’t tell me which bus I should take nor where the stops are. It’s not helpful.

DCMetroBus is unusable. They force you to down load chrome. If you don’t they charge you. I couldn’t even search for my route. Zero stars. Awful. Ruined!

Extremely intrusive ads, I just use the wmata website now and get better information.

I should've just continued to use the wmata site. I paid to remove ads and for what? DCMetroBus is VERY basic and does not offer the trip planner option. The info it provides is provided at the metro station itself. Don't purchase this!

I downloaded DCMetroBus, started scrolling through and it keeps locking me out. I had to access DCMetroBus several times, however still can’t be utilized.

No discernible way to search for a particular route other than scrolling through dozens of routes and then DCMetroBus boots you out. Very frustrating.

DCMetroBus does NOT have nothing
Only have picture of busses and metro but DCMetroBus IS not working I won’t recommend it at all
Anything you touch on app asking for money but NOT working at all before pay and after pay

Useless. The only Metrobus I am interested in taking, the E4, is not even listed. And the list of bus stops/routes is disorganized with no search option. I paid $3.99 to remove ads which I wish I could get back. I will be deleting DCMetroBus .

DCMetroBus keeps crashing when scrolling through the bus list (haven’t used the metro part too much); paid to get rid of the ads - and the crashes continue! I have yet to see the P6 because it crashes in the A’s. Very disappointed

No DC circulator bus info tho description says DCMetroBus has it. Can’t search bus stops, so you have to scroll thru hundreds of stops to find the one you want. The Nearby feature doesn’t show you what lines serve the stop or help you navigate to the stop. Totally just wasted money.

The Bus section doesn’t give you any useful information at all. DCMetroBus map doesn’t show you where you are. Try looking up a 2A bus to see when it’s arriving at your stop. All you get is a bunch of information you don’t need. Try looking up the intersection where you’re waiting for a bus. Don’t bother. Pass DCMetroBus up in search of a better one.

I checked ‘near by bus stop’ from 2 blocks from the actual bus stop. App showed ‘There’s no nearby bus stop’
And DCMetroBus doesn’t even show the actual bus arrival in real time. It’s only showing the original departure bus stop, then we have to figure out what time is the original departure time vs the current time frame.
Useless app. I wasted $0.99.

The new version of the old app is much less user-friendly: it is unwieldy, takes longer to navigate and find your particular bus, number, and - most importantly - does not show buses on route in real time ( the feature that was present in the old version), so one doesn’t know whether he/she just missed the bus or the bus is late. Please bring this feature back!

DCMetroBus has useful live time for trains at my Home station (Potomac Yards) but no info on my bus line (36A/B DASH) that serves it, so I still need another App for that, which makes this redundant. In fairness, my other App w/ great bus live updates for my hood is lousy on MetroRail interactive, real time data. So my search continues for the One App that will do it all for someone who lives near Potomac Yards in NoVA and goes in/out of DC. Bummer that this is not the One!

I used a different app that I had to delete before. Thought this was it. It’s unintuitive to use and works poorly. Would like to have my money back.

Difficult to navigate. I like the earlier version better .

I could not find a map

DCMetroBus does have all the stuff it says it does but there is a lot of room for improvement. Some parts are buggy but five stars as it hasn’t been a big deal for me personally.
