Customer Reviews

Just needs train times... (4 stars)
This app would be the king of Metro apps if it only gave train times and schedules. Come-on you know you want the 5th star!

Perfect for a DCist. Needs just one thing. (4 stars)
This app is the reason I'm so savvy on the metro after just a few months here. It's precise, user-friendly, and perfect for a quick double-check that you're on the right train.
One thing-- I'd love to get arrival times on this app. If they added those on an update, this would be five stars.

Needs Arrival Times! (3 stars)
In the last update they made a comment asking for a review. It does what it says it does well, but the one thing that DC Metro App has over this is the arrival times. To most I would say this is a major factor in planning and making your trip. So please add this feature, adding it will give you 5 stars but without the integration it is lacking an important feature.
