AVOID; built by non-commuters. – Metro-North Train Time Review

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
