Used to use the MTA train time app. It appears the app has developed a number of bugs which cannot be avoided even if you uninstall and reinstall it. Therefore on my quest for a better app, I came across THIS ONE !! Overall, this app is much better than TrainTime. My rating of four stars versus five stars is because this app could use a few improvements. Most notably, to be more accurate relative to its real time arrivals. While the app comes very close, I have found that it can be off by a few minutes leaving one to have to sprint to catch the train because of the incorrect time listed or, for one to not go for the train because the app says it had arrived when in reality it had not. However, being a long time train traveler, I can tell you that after using a number of different apps, this is one of the best apps out there.
Very good app - some improvements needed
JoeMary01
Enjoy using this app. Gives almost everything one could want tracking trains in and out of GCT. Think it would work fine for other stations. Like that it gives the track number of departing train’s because sometimes they come in on different tracks and thus avoids a scramble. Would like better tracking if trips in progress
Latest upgrade not great
ca4231
Just took the update today. Not a great experience. The app is continually asking for permission to know my location. Shouldn’t need that.. I was very happy with my default home/work locations repopulated given time of day - it doesn’t do that anymore and doesn’t remember what I typed in previously when I restart. I went to Settings and unchecked some defaults -they don’t save through. I went to Support to give feedback directly (which I have successfully done before) and it won’t let me through without a phone number that they text to validate. Don’t think they need such personal info to continue the good experience I had before the update.
Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback. Please note that there were some bugs in the recent update, but our team has quickly addressed them and the app is now functioning as it should. The previous contact via email has also been restored in the latest version. For faster responses, please email support@mobilewareinc.com
Clear but still not real time
Jennlily
Clear but still not real time even if you click the “Are you on this train?” Also reducing the countdown time to the next train departure to just minutes from minutes and seconds isn’t helpful at all. Even if the trains are late, when they are scheduled to leave onTime those seconds really count getting there. The “Discover” button gets in the way and is pretty useless in my opinion. It also seems to be made in a way that forces you to accidentally hit the advertisements— I suppose that’s the real reason it’s there.
Thanks for using onTime! This release brings bug fixes that improve our app to help you get the latest train schedule and find carpool matches.
