AP Transit — NYC Subway Map
AP Transit is a modern, real-time map for the New York City subway, built for speed and clarity. Open it and instantly see where every train is, when it arrives, and how reliable that arrival really is — all on a smooth, animated map.
WHY AP TRANSIT
• 3D live map — trains move along the lines in real time, right on the map
• Real-time tracking — see trains as they actually run, not just the scheduled timetable
• ETA + service status — clear reliability labels on every train, so you know which arrivals to trust
• Transfer-by-car map — see which car to stand in to make your transfer faster
• Subway exits map — find the right exit before you step off, no guessing
• In-app chat — share live updates and tips with other riders at your station
MORE FEATURES
• Live service status and alerts for every line, with our own delay detection alongside official MTA alerts
• Save favorite stations and lines for one-tap access
• Station entrances, exits, and accessibility (ADA) information
• PATH train (NJ) and JFK AirTrain coverage, not just the subway
• Multiple map themes, including dark mode
• Full multi-language support (English, Español, Русский, Українська, 한국어, 中文)
• Built to keep working through spotty underground connections
• No ads — ever
Every transit feature is free.
AP PLUS (OPTIONAL)
AP Plus is an optional auto-renewable subscription that adds personalization — extra map themes, an alternate app icon, and a chat nickname — and helps support ongoing development. It is completely optional; nothing in the core transit experience is locked behind it.
Subscription options:
• AP Plus Monthly — $2.99 per month
• AP Plus Yearly — $29.99 per year (about $2.50 per month)
Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple ID Account Settings.

It not light speed accurate, specially underground, its like a minute delay sometimes but it does let you know where the trains are. And you can see if its moving or not. Perfect for when you are on a hurry, hope they add Busses one days, other than that the app is intense on hardware so older phones struggle and drain more battery, which makes sense, an option to only track a single line would be helpful for people with the same route all the time, so its easier for people who struggle with using the transit, my mother struggles using the app as its too much input for her

As someone who isn’t from New York, this app has honestly been a lifesaver. After being used to the metro systems in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, navigating the New York subway felt pretty overwhelming at first. But with this app, getting around NYC became easy and stress-free.The interface is clear, routes are simple to understand, and it gives you the confidence to move around the city without constantly worrying about getting lost or taking the wrong train. It completely changed my experience with the New York subway system.An absolutely essential app for anyone visiting or newly living in New York. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much 🗽
Finally an app which just tells me what I need to know

The entire concept of this app is brilliant. Instead of trying to be a route planner it just tells me what trains are coming. As a regular rider on my daily routes I don’t need to know a novel way to get home, I just need to know whether to get on the Local or wait for an Express.The new Widget feature is even better. It tells me when the trains are coming at the nearest station without me even needing to open the app!One request: when set to show both directions of trains there’s nothing to show which are uptown and which are downtown. I’d actually also like an even bigger widget so as to see more than 2 trains in each direction at the stations with lots of lines.Update: thanks for the response. What I just realized is I can add a larger widget (which solves my problem) but the menu item to resize existing widgets is greyed out for some reason so I’d wrongly assumed no larger widget existed
Developer Response
You can add a large widget showing the four closest trains for each direction. You can also long-press the "Edit Widget" button to select just one direction and place two widgets on the screen.Thank you so much for your feedback 🎉
👍👍👍

This app is a real lifesaver for those lost souls navigating the endless maze of the New York City subway! Now you can not only track the migration of trains like birds in the sky, but also carefully pinpoint your train in the metal ocean of noise. In short, it's a super-duper-cool app that makes the life of a IT-savvy city dweller a little less painful. I recommend it as a must-have gadget on the smartphone of everyone who doesn't want to turn into a madman on the platform in search of their train!
