What a great app for planning trips!

So easy and fast to use. No more waiting for the Metro. It's glorious.

You ever ride on the Metro?

Unfortunately, there is not currently one single perfect app which meets all the needs of a DC transit junkie. This is one of the best, because it lets you type in the NextBus numbers directly, and it includes the Circulator as well. My only gripe is that it won't let you save more than three bus stops. But other than that, this app is pretty comprehensive. I also use myTransit DC and circ@dc.

Very disappointing

Downloaded for trip to DC. App only partially worked. I've used the Metro system many times before so I was primarily interested in this app for the Favorite Stations and 5 Closest Stations features. These did not work while I was in the DC area. Always got "Unable to determine your location" message. Ended up just using the map that already comes with the iPhone. The trip planner was a nice function and worked well.

As a frequent visitor to DC, I loaded this to my iphone4. It does all it advertises, and the service is excellent. I had an initial problem because the app was not able to find my current location. I did the "about"button on the app, stated my problem and got a solution back within 15 minutes. ( I had not turned the app on in Settings--General). That was real personal service, fast. Locations and directions to the metro AND from the metro to your destination are accurate as are the train arrival times. Well worth the money!

RETINA DISPLAY ICON

I'm only rating it low to draw attention to the fact that you need to update the app for the retina display! INCLUDING THE ICON!!! Fix the icon and I would give the app a 5!

Great App

I have no idea why anyone would be rating this app less than a 4-star. I just used it for a week and found it to be great. I didn't find one thing I disliked about it. And this was my first trip to DC so I didn't have any previous experience on the metro or even in the DC area. I used another app to determine the closet metro stop to my point of destination. It always showed the five closest stations and the trip planner was a life saver getting thru the change from one color to the next.

Pretty Good

Just got back from a trip to DC. I used this app and my wife had another. Both had their advantages. Hers had a much better UI and was generally more pleasant / easy to use - especially with planning routes to take. However, it didn't have a trip planner (e.g. calculating the trip cost) or live time tables. Both of those came in handy multiple times. In all, it is a functional app that will help you get around DC.

App crashes constantly

You need to update the app. It constantly crashes and the searching for location feature when trying to view the map is useless

Perfect for the task

Just upgraded from IPhone3G (without S) to IPhone 4S... and this one works just as great. This app is perfect... amongst all the bells that such apps can come with, this one nails down to what a local or a tourist will need and that's why I still use it after about 2 years... for example.. find the closest station... then find out after how long trains are leaving at that station... in both directions. save frequent stations close to my office as favorites click on map to get to station info Simple... small.. fast! Thanks for the app!

Circulator issues

Iheartharry

I've noticed the circulator arrival times have become increasing unreliable. Either no data is available (probably not the apps fault so I'm complaining to them directly as well) or the data is off by a few minutes. I've had several occasions where a bus I could have caught was not listed and of course vice versa. In the beginning this app seemed to be dead on. What happened? For the metro it is great.
