Going to: pick where you're headed and the board keeps only the trains that go there, with your arrival time under each one. It remembers your choice for every station. Can you still catch it? Walking to the station, the board shows the walk to the entrance and greys out the trains you can't reach in time. Opens to your nearest station, measured to its nearest entrance. Pick another any time; the next open is back on the nearest. Your direction first. The board learns which way you ride in the morning and in the evening and puts that direction on top. Pin a direction to override it. A better widget: one row per destination with the trains after it, narrowed to the direction you ride, with car counts, a refresh button and how long ago it updated. A Nearest Station widget follows you around. Press and hold a train's time to track it. Lock Screen tracking is on by default, the ride shows its stop count from the start, and your Apple Watch shows the minutes. MARC and VRE boards get the same destination list as Metro. Plus: a one-question first launch, the right line colors at Yellow and Silver stations WMATA's list missed, and the departing train stays on the board at terminals.

TAP THE COUNTDOWN TO TRACK The countdown on any train is the Track button now. Tap it and that train follows you to the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Tap again to stop. PICKIER CROWDING NOTES The "likely crowded" note on the first train after a long gap now checks how full that train usually runs at that hour, from WMATA's own ridership counts. You'll see fewer of them, and they'll mean more. TELL IT WHERE YOU'RE GETTING OFF After you tap Track, pick your stop. Once you're on board, the Lock Screen counts the stops you have left, and your phone alerts you when yours is next, even through a Focus. It shows on Apple Watch too. GAME DAYS When there's a home game by your station, the board says so before and after, so a packed platform isn't a surprise. Swipe to hide a note you don't need. A CLEARER LIVE MAP Where lines share track, each one now draws as its own colored line, side by side, with every train on its own line. ALSO The journey view has a cleaner layout, and when WMATA's timetable for a train disagrees with the board, the minutes follow the board. Each row shows up to three following trains. The board reopens on the platform you last used. Settings has Rate and Send Feedback links. If you submit a build for this version, archive from the current tree, not build 96. Build 96 predates the crowding card, so its in-app What's New wouldn't match these notes. The tree is still at build number 96, so bump it to 97 first. I can do the bump and commit it if you want.

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
