Still inaccurate

The app is still struggling to catch up to the bus line changes. My stop (Mass Ave and 5th St NW) doesn’t even exist on the app despite that it existed before and after the changes

Great bug response

I emailed the developer when the location button disappeared, and even though the issue was probably my old phone + my not-updated iOS, the dev updated the app to fix it within a few days. Thanks!

The best standard for WMATA bus tracking apps

After the most recent update, this app has met every single one of my most wanted features for a Metrobus tracking app. In addition to bus routes that are available by selecting a stop and then touching one of the route numbers overlaid on the side of the screen, the app now allows you to store favorite bus stops as well. Overall usage is intuitive and the ability to check arrival times for stops outside of your immediate vicinity is a huge boon. Hint: use the "last updated" button to refresh arrival times or look for bus stops in a different area of the map. The app also shows arrival times for Metro trains. Ignore the reviews complaining about inaccurate times; that is not the app's fault. The blame lies with WMATA's crappy info. You'd run into the same problems by calling into NextBus since the data source is the same.

No longer workable

My bus stop no longer is on the map. The old app took me to my stop immediately. This opens to the whole map. GPS anyone?
