Wrong info
Dr Johnny Fever
This regularly lists wrong trains, wrong times, wrong info. Use onTime MNR instead
Unless trains are on time, it’s not that helpful
cheryl-mg
It’ll show you the scheduled times of trains. That’s it. No delay notices or time estimate for arrival. Most reliable way to tell is the map that shows where the train is currently at, so you can guess when it’ll actually show based on that. Once the train time expires, like a train scheduled at 9am, 9:01 its bumped off the schedule even if it still hasn’t arrived at station so you don’t get any further info on where or when its arriving. Alerts are rarely updated and give bogus general delay times. A lot of my trains have had service changes to include more stops because they keep running late but that doesn’t show on the app. It would be helpful to know on a delayed or extended train when you are actually going to arrive at your destination.
As Poor and Confusing as the MTA Itself
Ben Niemczyk
Why can’t the MTA just build a simple app that shows the train times and track numbers? I am sure developing this app employed many people but wow what a waste of talent. This app fails for the following reasons: 1. No favorites on the main page. HELLO. This is NYC. People have their trips planned out. Put a button bar there for quick access. 2. You choose a trip and a list of trains/tracks pop up. Lovely! Try tapping on them. What pops up? A map of Westchester. Guess what doesn’t show up? Your train and track. As if anybody cares what Westchester looks like? I know they are trying to show a map of the system and your stops but NYers don’t really need that. It should be a secondary or tertiary tab for interested parties. 3. No ticket integration. This is better than nothing but wow just build a simple app with the info that NYers want: when and where is my train. Leave the pretty art for the MoMA.
App is poor
Daily MTA Rider and Commuter
I downloaded this App and it does not show seating availability as advertised. It also doesn’t show real-time train status. It’s shameful that a multi-Billion dollar Agency produces an Poor quality App.
MNR train crash
Joe b in ny
App won’t run on older iOS just keeps crashing how complicated could it possibly be to let this app run on any iOS
Out-of-Towner here: App works great

Easy to use helped me figure out what tickets to buy on the MTA eTix app fantastic. Don’t see what everyone is whining about.
The official MTA app?
StaceyWoodside
This is the official MTA app for Metro North? I was hoping it would provide the plethora of useful info like the LIRR Train Time app, where I know which car to ride in by the passenger count and number on the train car. I also love the real-time GPS tracking of LIRR train so I know exactly when I will arrive. That screen in the MNR app is just a blank white screen. I can’t see any info about train cars, passenger numbers, etc. I have an iPhone 13 running iOS 15.2 I’ve heard that the Metro North Railroad is the “red-headed stepchild of the MTA”…
Beyond frustrating

When it works, this app does less than the printed paper schedules. This from a state agency. Not surprised. Take and waste taxpayer and commuter money. Why should I expect more?
Correct schedule but wrong ETA
Vault Guy
The app is good for knowing schedules but is consistently wrong with the ETA.
Slow

I tried using this right after it came out and found it slow. Few years later, still slow. I don’t know why they do t simply cache the schedule like the onTime app does.
