Washington Metro App Reviews

This app should be free. Its just a map of DC Metro.

I was very disappointed in this app. As an iTouch user I have to rely on local WiFi to do any browsing so the only features on this I could use IN a station were viewing the system map, and planning my route. Which wouldve been fine, IF planning a route through this app included train/bus schedules. But it doesnt. In fact, you need to know which station you want to go to, an address wont even compute. And it seems as though busses dont even exist to this app...

While the new feature of augmented POIs seems like a pretty cool idea, to enable ANY POI it costs 99 cents. Which doesnt seem like that big of a deal but with so many FREE apps in the store that already do this, it seems like something that should be included for free once youve already bought the app. Some definite turn offs - First, the map. Its the standard map of the Metro system but you CANT pinch zoom or double tap to see the entire map. All you can do is just move it with your finger. Second - you cant use the GPS location of the iPhone to find where you are and what the closest station is. Some good points - its nicely designed and fast. The map scrolling and stations lists are all quick and relatively easy to navigate around.

The app worked about as well as I could have expected. The only knock (and the designers cant really fix this) is that once the train is undergound, the tracking doesnt work. Other than that, the trip planner is pretty accurate and not having to carry a paper map is great. Definately the best app for the D.C. metro that ive found!

I thought this was a cool app to have POIs, but what is not very clear in the discription is that you pay a fee for ****EACH**** POI you want to have on your map!!!! Had I known, I would have never purchased this app! What a ripoff!!!!

I cant say enough about this app. The graphics and interface are crisp, simple, and effective. I love using this app to commute. Metro service has gone downhill in recent months, & this app helps sort through at least the planning part of the trip. Its one less thing to worry about.

This app is the reason Im so savvy on the metro after just a few months here. Its precise, user-friendly, and perfect for a quick double-check that youre on the right train. One thing-- Id love to get arrival times on this app. If they added those on an update, this would be five stars.

This app would be the king of Metro apps if it only gave train times and schedules. Come-on you know you want the 5th star!

In the last update they made a comment asking for a review. It does what it says it does well, but the one thing that DC Metro App has over this is the arrival times. To most I would say this is a major factor in planning and making your trip. So please add this feature, adding it will give you 5 stars but without the integration it is lacking an important feature.

On a normal trip to the nations capital this was the best most helpful app Ive ever gotten from the app store. This app does everything. It helps you route everything and tells you how to each specific location and its very easy to use. If your going to be traveling on the metro, your going to need this app. Thanks for a great app.

very disappointing. unable to find nearest station relative to my current location or input address! what exactly is the point of this if I cant figure out a way to get from point A to point B on the metro? did I just pay 99cents for an image of the lines?

I use this app every time Im in DC to figure the rail lines out. It provides apart to follow from station to station only. It would be far better IF... 1. You could type in a start/finish address, and it told u which station to go to (and how to get there) and complete the loop by how to get to ur destination. 2. It told you which direction to go on the metro (I.e. Toward Shady Grove for example) 3. The time until the next train arrived. 4. Delays on the train/track. However for a .99 cent app it is okay at best. But with the improvements it could be worth a few dollars.

Great application.

Does not do what claimed. Mostly a subway station map available for free elsewhere- could not get directions from current location to nearest subway, even when 3 blocks away. Ripoff & very inconvenient to download this non-app when I needed it to no avail.

Free apps do it better. This thing -- as with most of these Metro apps -- desperately needs the ability to map a walking-path to the nearest metro station. For what it does, DC Rider is better.

Months after the new Silver Line began, this app does not show it at all. I had an emergency trip to DC so didnt have my pocket paper map -- downloaded this app while riding the train from Boston to DC. I needed to ride the Metro from Union Station (Red Line) to the outer end of the Silver Line. Total waste of money for me. In that it uses the Metro logo, Id thought it would be accurate. Not so.

Waste of money!! Keeps freezing

This app does not work and is poorly constructed. The augmented section caused app to CRASH all together.

Can’t really evaluate as the Silver Line is not included. Hopefully this will come soon, but not soon enough for our trip

Useless app, it doesnt even include the silver line. Hasnt been updated since 2010! My bad, this app is dead. ------------- This is a good app when its up to date. It needs an update on the express lines - in particular, yellow.
