Great app, just what I need it to do
I'm confused by all the negative reviews. Maybe they updated it recently? It does exactly what I need it to do: show me the train schedule for the station I want. Nice that it automatically finds the nearest station, makes it easier. I might use the trip planner occasionally for trips I take that aren't my commute. And I like that the advisories sure up on the home screen. One slight nit, I liked that the web site automatically refreshed when I switched to it on my iPhone, but every 15 seconds is just fine for me. Great job, impressive app, not just for a public organization, but any developer!

October 1, 2019 Review - It Works, Give It A Chance
I’m currently using the app on an iPhone 10S Max and also on iPhone 11 Pro Max and it has worked flawlessly so far. Doesn’t crash, trip planning works fine. Based on your location it automatically detects which station is closest to you and shows the next train coming for each platform. It works as it should. I think the recent updates they made worked out nicely.

Great start!
Appreciate your team’s hard work on this. Definitely more features that can be added (as detailed in many other reviews), but this is a great starting point, and delivers immediate value from the first screen.
