NextStop - NYC Subway App Reviews

This app has yet to be useful. The times have absolutely no relationship with reality.

This app is not GPS-based! You have to add and subtract double the minutes from the arrival time. It says 5 minutes away? Thats anything between 10 minutes away and 10 minutes since it left. Dont walk, run away from paying for this app.

Ever since upgrading to iOS 8 this app will no longer notify you of delays or service problems even when you have everything turned on. Very upsetting, multiple instances where there were service alerts and I didnt hear about it until getting down in the way and therefore being late to work.

Im writing this review while waiting for the train that was supposed to be here 10 min ago and am reflecting on all the times this app has been wrong and am regretting buying this app

This app shows the same inaccurate times that the MTA lists on their schedule. So really, it’s the MTA’s schedule that has little relationship to reality. Why the MTA can’t implement accurate train tracking for all the lines has been a mystery to me, particularly in this age of GPS, Wifi, cellular data, etc. Anyway, the bottom line is that the arrival times of trains is fairly worthless. But the app has a very well designed interface. I think when the MTA gets their act together (…don’t hold your breath), smart phone transport apps will be great, not barely useful like this one is.

Cant hate.

can we get a Notification Center extension going ? would be very useful

I use this every day to check for delays before I walk to the subway. There are many other apps and web sites that do the same thing, but this one seems to work the best. Thanks, developers!

The Most Frustrating App Ever! Its always wrong for the Q and the B trains. Off by 10 minutes or more... Unreliable. Useless.

The WORST app ever! Never ever buy it! Never works! Never shows the right time!

On some trains I notice it doesnt always come when it says but its usually by 1-2 minutes behind/ahead of schedule. Now this is obviously not the fault of the app, but the delays that people cause from holding doors open on the train. I take the D/N/Q/B often and those pretty much come when they say they will.

This is the first app I ever bought bc I heard it was good. I always get the free apps but tried this one out. It rlly just shows the schedules times witch is pretty useless bc u can see that online. I rlly wanted an app that shows how far the train is. This app says that are diff colors and grey is the scheduled time and green is the updates time but the stations I use are never green. Pretty useless but I wish it was better

On an iPhone 6 8.1.1. It never had issues before, now it crashes all the time at startup - not functional. Please fix

Always crashes upon loading since getting iOS 8. I expected an update but nothing months later.

It tell me the train coming in 10 minutes. Im walking to the train and 10 minutes aint even past yet, missed a couple of train cause this app.

I really like this app; it shows the scheduled times that the trains are supposed to arrive and what lines are at each station. Sadly it’s not real time because NYC hasn’t implemented that capability but it’s still really helpful. I wish they would offer directions between two places like iTrans NYC.

It works well. But have no real use for as it I have to wait for the train, which is usually less 7 min. I would like this app more if it let me select a station and send notifications for me in the morning with train schedule. So that I dont have to wait in the stations or not miss a train.

Im waiting for 15 min for a train that was supposed to be here 14 minutes ago.

Only good for the super reliable lines like the 1,2,3 - not what I need this for.

This app is not able to accurately tell you when the train is coming. It even tells you a train is coming that is not even running. Imagine my irritation to wait for the M only to figure out that is stopped running at 9pm when the app said it will arrive in 8 min. 20 minutes and 3 F trains later I gave up.
