STOP REMINDERS Open your train's journey and press and hold the station where you're getting off — before you board or after you've settled in. Nothing sits on your screen, but as your stop comes up next, your phone alerts you, even through a Focus. When the ride's done, the reminder tidies itself away. POTOMAC YARD, PROPERLY A data gap meant boarding trains at Potomac Yard could vanish from the board and reminders around it fired a stop early. Fixed — the station is now first-class everywhere. LOCK SCREEN TRACKING Your tracked train's countdown follows it all the way onto the platform — Boarding while it boards, gone the moment it leaves. A train turning around at the end of its line no longer carries your tracking onto its return trip. FAVORITES Every station keeps its own cached board, so switching favorites paints instantly. Pull to refresh always refreshes, and a refreshing board says "Updating…" instead of flashing "Cached".

MetroNow's biggest update yet. MARC & VRE COMMUTER RAIL All 61 MARC and VRE stations join the app: live delays and cancellations, service alerts, journey timelines with a moving train marker, Lock Screen tracking, and a dedicated live map for each system. Rail boards are schedule-first with a live overlay, so a delayed train shows its real time — not a guess — and cancelled trains stay visible instead of silently vanishing. LIVE SYSTEM MAP Watch every train move across the system in real time. Tap any train or station to jump straight to its board. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Your station's next trains at a glance — one tap opens the board. SYSTEM STATUS How each line is really running: measured headways, "gaps forming" or "recovering," and callouts naming the stations where riders are stuck. Gap sizes come straight from the board — measured, never estimated. CROWDING, BEFORE YOU BOARD The first train after a long service gap has been collecting riders the whole time. Your board now says so. TRACK ANY DEPARTURE Follow any Metro or rail train on your Lock Screen — even scheduled departures 30+ minutes out. Estimated times are clearly marked with ~, so you always know which numbers are confirmed and which are projections. PLAN AHEAD Tomorrow's full timetable one tap away, last trains of the day flagged, and To DC / Outbound filters for busy boards. POLISHED EVERYWHERE Rolling countdowns that tick down in place, better readability in direct sunlight, a refined dark mode, richer haptics, and Liquid Glass touches on iOS 26. RELIABILITY Dozens of tracking fixes from real rides across the system. The Lock Screen countdown now ends cleanly the moment your train departs — and never quietly switches to the train behind it.

• Track with one swipe — swipe right on any departure to track its next train • More reliable Lock Screen Live Activity updates • Sharper, more consistent ETAs for trains waiting at terminals • More accurate train position in the journey view • Faster favorites, accessibility improvements, and many bug fixes

- Sharper live tracking — terminal trains clear the board the moment they leave, and the board now agrees with your tracked-train card. - Smarter station search — instant, ranked results; short names like "Reagan National" and "Dulles Airport" are searchable now. - Easier favorites — press and drag to reorder, no Edit button. - Light & Dark themes — choose System, Light, or Dark in Settings; the whole app follows your pick. - Cleaner board — fixed duplicate rows and trains occasionally showing the wrong direction. - Faster & smoother — fixed a brief slowdown right after launch, plus quicker startup and steadier data.

-Correct Line Colors -Reliable push to refresh -Update alerts

Defect fixes.

Fixed an issue where tracked trains would auto-unpin at terminal stations during turnaround. Your pinned train now stays tracked until it physically departs.

- Terminal stations: trains stay on the arrival board until they physically depart — no more premature drops - Smooth train movement on journey timeline instead of jumping station to station - Elevator & escalator outage alerts (enable in Settings) - Alert filters: independently toggle delay alerts, service alerts, and elevator outages - Tracked train stays consistent when switching stations — label and position no longer change mid-trip - Improved position accuracy on shared corridor tracks (GR/YL, BL/SV/OR) - Fixed train reassignment false positives on shared corridors

New Features - Onboarding carousel — 3-page walkthrough for first-time users (Real-Time Arrivals, Track Your Train, Swipe for Details). Existing users auto-skip. - Branded launch screen — App logo with "MetroNow DC" label, adapts to light/dark mode. - Dismissable incidents — Swipe away service alert banners. Dismissed alerts reset on app restart. - Toolbar favorite star — Quick-toggle the current station as a favorite from the main screen. - Tracked train card redesign — Line-colored tile showing real-time train position, ETA to your station ("Your station in ~4m"), "At your station" highlight, and green checkmark on arrival at terminal. Train Position Accuracy - Circuit-based position enrichment — Train position on the journey timeline now uses WMATA track circuit data (hardware ground truth) instead of GPS, showing accurate between-station progress and platform arrival. - Unified StationFlagResolver — Single source of truth for WMATA BRD/ARR override on journey stations, replacing scattered override logic with a tested pure function (12 unit tests). - Terminal queuing fix — Trains queued at terminal stations no longer incorrectly show as "approaching" the next station. - Terminal circuit holdover — Trains at terminals stay visible during WMATA feed flicker, confirmed by circuit proximity instead of timing alone. Bug Fixes - Fixed corridor filter leaking wrong-platform trains at multi-line stations. - Fixed locale-dependent date formatting that could break on non-Gregorian calendars. - Fixed dedup ETA fallback inflating estimated arrival times. - Fixed stations without topology data being incorrectly marked as passed. - Fixed direction entries for Farragut North and added Van Ness-UDC. - Tightened arrivedByTime threshold from 90s to 20s for more responsive train detection.

New features - Pin & track your train — Tap the pin button on any departure to lock onto that specific train. See its live journey on the map as it moves station to station, with automatic unpin when it reaches its destination. - Swipe to see clock times — Swipe left on the train timeline to peek at exact arrival times (e.g., "12:45 PM") for every station. Release to spring back — just like iMessage. Improved reliability - WMATA predictions now drive train selection with circuit-based ground truth, replacing GPS-based guessing for more accurate journey views - Journey view falls back gracefully to scheduled times when live vehicle data is unavailable, instead of showing the wrong train - Fixed matching on shared corridors (Blue/Silver/Orange and Green/Yellow) where WMATA and GTFS-RT disagree on line assignment - Fixed schedule matching for devices with non-Gregorian calendar settings - Improved gesture detection reliability on the train timeline - Better privacy manifest declarations for App Store compliance - Fixed incident text encoding (curly quotes no longer display as garbled characters) Bug fixes - Fixed toolbar color shift on iOS 18 - Fixed scroll lag on the train timeline - Improved trip update caching to prevent stale data on app resume - Journey map now centers on the train's live position by default - Fixed departed trains incorrectly matching to approaching predictions - Fixed tracked train showing wrong line code or ETA on shared corridors - Fixed journey view auto-dismissing stale data when tracked train is unpinned - Prevented a single physical train from appearing as multiple departures

- Supplementary departure times from GTFS-RT now extend beyond WMATA's real-time window, so you can see trains further out - Fixed countdown timers at terminal stations (Ashburn, New Carrollton, etc.) that could vanish prematurely - Smarter duplicate detection prevents the same train from appearing twice - Last Train badge now shows minutes until departure - Improved stability when WMATA API returns unexpected data - Performance optimizations for smoother scrolling and animations
