Metro-North Train Time Reviews

Terrible

Why did you change this app? It's terrible. I don't need all this information

Bring back Train Destination name and number.

1326893

New update no longer shows the name of the train destination or the train number. This makes it hard to double check the boards at large stations like Grand Central and Harlem where there are many trains departing around the same time. If a train is delayed, you might accidentally get on the wrong one.

Not the same

Update was poor. Liked old functionality better. Harder to get train times

Garbage

Like everyone else I think the update destroyed the app. Yet in true Metro North fashion, no one cares what the riders/users think. For once ask the people who need this what would make them happy and address!!

Poor layout

Family-to-go

Used to be an excellent resource for MetroNorth...but has not adapted well to iOS11. Harder to navigate...and layout poorly executed.

Does not keep up with the changing schedule.

The TrainTime is not accurate, it does not keep up with the changing metro-north schedule, you’re better off using the paper schedule pamphlet if travel time is important for you. To the programmers, please fix this major issue because your program is worthless to those of us who use Metro-North.

Many Reviews Are Accurate! Why Can’t I See Arriving Trains?

We all know one basic premise of train travel: you leave one destination and you arrive at another. This app only shows you trains that are leaving after the current time. What about if you need information on arriving trains to pick someone up? At the airport don’t they list arrivals AND departures? I know this is rocket science...but whoever is in charge of designing this app and whoever is in charge of authorizing its payment should BOTH be fired. This is app malpractice!!!!

Necessary but not as functional

So a train app is a requirement if you ride the train daily. You expect it to provide times and up-to-the minute delays which for the most part are accurate. However, if i am unable to scroll through the app or see past one time because the app has failed to keep up with software updates it becomes frustratingly and relatively useless. What was once good is now no longer helpful.

AVOID; built by non-commuters.

So, here's the thing: You really need this app to work when you're in GCT and looking for your train. It needs to work instantly and reliably. The unfortunate problem is that it appears to need a signal, and if it can't find a good one, which is often the case in GCT you get NOTHING. A spinner. With a side-helping of frustration. I'd rather have stale information with an alert stating that it's stale, than to be staring at a loading screen for minutes while your anger level grows logarithmically with the delay time. You might as well just walk to the boards and look. Which means that you don't need this app. Until they fix this serious flaw, use something else. The other frustrating "feature" of the MetroNorth app is that you can't scroll backwards in time, which means that you can’t use the schedule as, you know, A SCHEDULE. Ever taken a new train or a different one than you normally do? Don't forget to see when it arrives before you leave the station, or you won't be able to with this app. Dumb and FRUSTRATING. I don't think that the developers of this app are commuters or actually have ever used this app to commute in/out of GCT. If they did, this would be a significantly better app. You're better off getting literally ANY OTHER APP and avoiding this one. Grade: F
