Frustrated trying to find a Metro station while on the streets of Washington, DC
I dont visit Washington as often as I would like, so I dont know the street addresses for the stations. But, Id like to start going more and Id like an App to help make these visits go more smoothly. Could be I still havent figured out how best to use this App, but during my first trip I was frustrated while on the streets of Washington because the App didnt transition well to Goggle maps. Goggle map didnt support stretch (I need that to read street names without my reading glasses). The application should have automatically dropped a pin at the Metro stop (preferably an "End" Pin). It doesnt appear to support current location if you transition into Goggle Directions (Cell tower or GPS). If you are lost, you dont know what to type in the "Start/End Directions" lines. Plus, all of the required information is or could be in the iPhone, why do I need to type anything. So if you are lost in DC, the App appears unable to get you from where you are to the closest Metro. Overall, the application left me lost and frustrated. Since the App includes a lot of valuable information, I gave it a 3; its only average. With a couple small fixes it could be a 5.
