New York Subway MTA Map App Reviews

Ridiculous full screen ads

And you cant close them until after 10 seconds

Great but needs train schedules

This is a solid app. The map is great and easy to zoom in and out. The routes and estimated travel times are accurate. I only gave it 4 stars because I really wish you could check the train schedules from within the app so I could tell what time trains will arrive/depart at different stations. I can see this in Google maps but its a pain switching between them.

NYC Subway Map

Great app if you live in NY or are a tourist. I live in NY but dont take trains often & I love this app as very easy to use.

Def a KEEPER!

Love it! Works! Easy! Easy!! I never buy apps but did for this as I know I want the extra visual space FOREVER! Yes, no arrival times, but chill, youll arrive when everybody else does!

The ads have become too much

Often opens with a mandatory 5-10 second full screen ad. This has often been the difference between me deciding to hop on that train or not. Do not like.

Only app you need for NYC subways

Lived in NY my whole life and this app is all you need. If you cant figure it on this app you should just take Uber

Ads Ruined It

Used to love this app, but now you get a video ad anytime you open it. If youre like me, you sometimes need to immediately check your route while on the platform to decide which train to take. To need to wait through a video every time is annoying. Shame, because I really liked this app. Would definitely pay for an ad-free version.

Strong NYC Subway app

Reliable, smooth, intuitive. Only problem is the ads. They dont load and can tie-up valuable search time. Id pay to not have the ads.

Convenient

Time estimate is very useful

Good App, But...

This app is great. Love that it works without wifi or service. Only issue: you cant type in an intersection or address to plan your route. This tends to be an issue when youre routing to Brooklyn or Queens.

Great for Newbies

I just moved to NYC from a place where public transportation isnt a thing. This app has saved my life on many occasions. The best feature is definitely the route planning! Everything is very straightforward and easy to follow.

SIMPLY THE BEST!!

Love the app-annoyed by the ads

I agree with another viewer that the ads can be annoying when you are trying to make a quick decision about which train to take. I also wish they would include the Roosevelt Island tram as a travel option.

Not useful

Doesnt recognise any of the points of interest so is useless for planning a route unless you already know the nearby stations. If I want a basic useless map then I will use a paper one and not waste space and data on this

Helpful

Offline (and on) availability makes this worth it. Works smoothly.

Doesnt work

The service info function doesnt work, just a black screen that doesnt update when refreshed.

The subway

Its ok but the timing is a little off.

App works well!

For one who visits New York infrequently, this helps in trip planning & does a good job keeping information current

Terrible. Just like NYC MTA!

This app is garbage just like the MTA. It doesnt update the information for service changes until the time the service changes. Now what sense does that make? I resent the MTA and this app earns the same angry feelings.

Dont waste your time!

This app is of no help if you dont already know exactly what stations you are going to start and stop at. Whats the point if all you have is an address and need to understand what train to take? It also doesnt tell you you need to get off and transfer to another train!! Terribly pointless app.
