Soooo bad it hurts

Did our taxes and fares go to pay for creating an app this awful? Or is it that no money was exchanged? Makes me want to cry. Why? I mean. Seriously. New York should have a world class train app, not a third grade mess. It’s embarrassing when people visit from other civilized nations and this is the app for our NY trains. Ugh.
Latest Update Broke It

App was fine until 3.0.3 update (June 2019). The ETA feature they tried to add in 3.0.3 is a great idea and I look forward to using it once the bugs have been worked out. However, since the update, the app won’t show the proper schedule per the search criteria entered and ETA is always 12:xx, regardless of what time train is scheduled to arrive (even ~6am). Please fix these bugs ASAP, using the website is much more difficult - having my common trips stored in the app is a huge time-saver that I look forward to getting back when the bugs have been fixed!
Why is it so hard to serve up MNR status data that’s available on station boards

The latest update broke everything for me, on iPhone Xr running latest iOS. This appears to be the case for others as well, based on recent reviews. I need the app twice a day—when I’m en route to the train station during morning and evening commute—to view upcoming local and express options plus on-time status, and to decide if I need to hustle or can I walk. There are numerous boards at the station which could tell me these things (if I was already inside the station)... how could it possibly be so hard to push that data to an app!? The other “MyMTA” app is also useless for this purpose, somehow. At this point it would literally be easier for them to just post a webcam in the middle of GCT, pointed at the video screens, and let people login to watch it if they need to know train status. Because apparently in 2019 this agency can’t seem to figure out how to send a series of numbers to two places at once.
Not Even Close

The times were way off. We thought we got there early (45 mins before the stated departure) because of the app but ended up just missing it. Wish I could give 0 stars.
Needs monumental improvement

Relying on this app for train information on the go has caused me to miss or be late for countless important appointments. Gives you no updates about changes, and if a train is late arriving it doesn’t show in a list of trips, tricking you into thinking it isn’t coming at all. Has caused me to miss dozens of trains
Awful app - Designed without knowledge of the users

The designers have no understanding for the ways in which users need to check a train schedule. App seriously frustrates me 50% of the time Conduct a survey and fix
