New York Subway – MTA Map NYC

As out of Towners visiting NJ and NYC from out of state we were very thankful for the great service we experienced with NYC METRO. We purchased tickets in the Port Authority and with visitor info maps were able to quickly find routes, determine arrival times, etc. Sometimes it was difficult to know if we were in the right side of the platform, but after a few close calls we learned to see where the line ran and looked for those stops. Other riders were kind when we asked questions. The trains were usually very prompt. We didn't wait long at any time of day or night. When a car was full, we could easily wait for another. Having connections to the NJ bus and centrally located stops made our travels easy and saved some on our walking. In late night returns and after large entertainment events, I was grateful to see an obvious police presence. On the trains I was impressed with how clean the cars were, comfortable and well sir-conditioned on hot muggy days. Many cars had boards displaying the line and upcoming stops. Other riders were polite, helpful to each other. Looking forward to my next visit. K B.

The app is great and usually very accurate with the train times when I am coming home from work. However, the app seems to have an issue with dictating southbound train times at the final stop (terminal) of the train I take. I take the 5 train from and to Eastchester-Dyre Avenue. Whenever I select this station it only shows northbound trains but never southbound ones. I wouldn't mind if it only showed southbound trains because those are the ones leaving the station. Other than this issue the app has been great and very useful to my daily commute.

Great help for the Metro Riders. try to update your Apps with Live and Current Metro activities....you already have the system emplacement on the M Trains, just Stream it to this Apps.

With modern navigation apps like google maps and Apple Maps adding transit navigation options, it would seem an app like this one wouldn’t be useful, you would be wrong. This app is great for an overall view of the subway and a great app to find subway news about closures so that you don’t mistakenly try and and board that train. This app has helped me every time I’ve gone to the city to plan out sites to see and the nearest subway station to those sites and like the modern navigation apps, has a route planner to help navigation from point A to B. See also the stations that involve walking transfers, like the 14th street transfer from the red to the orange line, so you know when going to the next site you want to go to what your options are. Best of all, it’s lightweight and doesn’t require cellular or WiFi to just view the map.

This app was much more reliable before the last update. Now there is no information regarding the station location of the upcoming train. Also, the local and express trains are now jumbled into one North or South menu, making it harder to locate a train after the one you may miss. The old version was perfect. The times of the incoming trains are also much less accurate, too.

What happened? This used to be my go to app when traveling. I would easily be able to give someone direction even if I didn't know where they were going. Now I have to wait for it to load, and I'm usually already on the train to figure out where I'm going. Edit The ads only come on when you are connected to data (wifi). If you are underground just turn it off to get what you need faster if you are in a hurry. It still works fine offline which is its best feature in my opinion. Not perfect 4.5

This is a great application for those who use the NYC subway regularly or even if you are new to the system. First the app is well designed allowing users to easily bounce from section to section with a simple tap to the top pop up menu. The app covers all the basics whether you want to create a route, save a train line as a favorite, look up the latest alerts, and navigate the subway map. The app not only covers the essentials but provides extras such as an included New York City Guide that allows users to read up on all the facets of the city whether it be the attractions, or the infrastructure services that help guide the public in their daily lives. It is all included in the guide. The app also gives users a choice in whether they want a ad free experience or a premium version in which you can avoid them. This is highly recommended app for NYC travelers in general whether you use the subway a lot or not.

This app is my go to when I may need to get around due to unexpected detours on the train or need to plan a different away around an area I may not be familiar with. The ads however have really become the downfall of this app, as before they use to pop up and you could close but each one is a video with audio which you have to wait to close. It didn’t use to be this intrusive. I know ads are needed for funding but the new ad method is going to kill this app. I highly recommend people to pay to have ads removed. You’ll thank me later.

this app. is a good starting idea, but for 5$ it should show a lot more when it comes to pointing out what subway car & which door to stand by when exiting the station or when transferring to another train. at most, all it does at the subway stops & exits it just give a very vague description on where to go. less than a handful of station give some direction, & very little at that. this app. needs much improvement. if the developers can find it, look for 'Exit Strategy as a great template.

Good map that’s available offline. It’s very useful. I used to have notifications on but it became useless as there are only a few timeframes for notification that you can choose (I find that I get way too many for way too long...even though you only need it just 1 hr before you leave) and the notification itself is not specific about what the change in service is. Not helpful. And I found out that throughout using this app over a couple of years, it doesn’t let you know any weekend service changes - such as trains not running at all or skipping certain stations. This is a different type of notification aside from the usual incident/delay type of service change and it’s somehow hard to know unless you go to a specific page on the MTA website or go to the station to see notice flyers stuck on the wall. I dunno... but I get really annoyed when I go take the train and the train station itself is shut down at the same time it shows “good service” on this app. Now I have to either walk to another line/station and/or rearrange my whole transportation so I’m probably gonna be late for 30 mins.. Hopefully in the future this app can include such important info so we don’t get the run around from MTA so much as we do now.

I understand there need to be ads. But EVERY time the app is opened an ad pops up. Even if you go away from the screen for 30 seconds you are forced to watch a 30 second ad. Some of them are longer and then you wait another 30 seconds or more on the selection page for the option to dismiss. This defeats the purpose of checking on train times when you are trying to figure out what is going on in a particular station. It wasn’t always this terrible, but the last month or so has been a headache. Nearly useless to gauge train time.
