MBTA Rail for Positive User Reviews
✓ More than just train timesWorth the $5. I used Google Maps to find out if my train was running late. (Put in you parking lot for the train station and it will display fairly accurate times.) However if the trains are really late Google is less accurate. The reason to pay for this app is both most up to date train info from MBTA and passenger comments. So someone on the train will report what the conductor said & whether the train is now running smoothly or going slow. If you are trying to decide to drive in or take a later train it’s very useful..Version: 2.35.0
✓ Excellent app. Love the favorites, history, and commentsWell done..Version: 2.30.0
✓ Accurate timesThis app has been very helpful for my daughter getting to and from college. I would definitely recommend this app. 👍.Version: 2.5.0
✓ What a champWhoever (or whatever team) went ahead to make this, put a huge amount of upfront effort in to make people’s everyday lives better. It seems like a small thing but spread over thousands of commuters that check this app a couple times per work day, it makes a such a massive impact. Little things like knowing what the train layout is or when you need to leave your house make the everyday commute so much better Virtual fist bump to that team Shout out to all those people who post to the community every day with train layouts and updates🙌 Feedback: Allow to sort by departure time from chosen destination please.Version: 2.11.0
✓ Huge time and frustration saver!Rely on it daily to commute in/out Boston on commuter rail. Perfect blend of mbta’s public feed data and crowd sourced intel. Just when I think it’s perfect there are enhancements that make it better!.Version: 2.15.0
✓ Great App for MBTA Commuter Rail Riders!I’ve had this app for a couple of years. Nice aggregation of schedule and gps info. The messaging feature is a lifesaver—riders on the train can post updates (and pithy commentary) for other riders, and this info is often better and more timely than the MBTA updates. I also appreciate that the devs do a good job of rolling out new features. For example, they just incorporated a pdf view of schedules. It’s a small add, but makes it easier to plan your trip with the app..Version: 2.12.0
✓ Always get a head startI literally check this before any commute, in or outbound. Knowing in advance how many cars, which track and what time is so worth the app fee. If the train looks like a disaster, work from home, don’t get stuck on a 3hr ride.Version: 2.49.0
✓ In loveThis app is what i use daily. I wouldn’t be able to get on at a good time without this app. Highly recommended for Boston commuters..Version: 2.14.0
✓ Best App out there!It is my go to app for commuting with great crowd sourced information that is often more timely and accurate than the official MBTA alerts. I also appreciate the moderators for handling posters who dominate or become too aggressive with other commenters. A recent addition of avatars lets you identify who is reliable and who isn’t. Keep up the good work!.Version: 2.15.0
✓ Absolutely required if you plan to ride the T into Boston!Awesome app. Absolutely required if your going to ride the T into Boston!.Version: 2.11.0
✓ Amazing!My only problem with it is that it doesn’t have any subways or busses. Otherwise it is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to know where their train is or for any train enthusiasts..Version: 2.41.0
✓ Best app for seasoned commuterIf you commute in to Boston daily this app is for you. It can help you get a jump on the crowds boarding the trains at south station and confirms if your guess was correct after you’re on the train. Really well done. Community comments can get a little annoying but they are still more useful than not. Would be cool if you could implement a reddit comment rating system so the gold would flow to the top and the nonsense would drift down into obscurity, a feeling commuters can appreciate..Version: 2.10.0
✓ Wonderful features!I highly recommend. I deleted all of my other MBTA rail apps. You will not be disappointed..Version: 2.11.0
✓ Better updates from actual ridersTrust this app over anything the MBTA tells you- a must-have for any commuter who uses the CR..Version: 2.11.0
✓ A must have for any mbta commuter.I really like the track history. That's new (to me at least).Version: 2.28.0
✓ Better than MBTA’s own appThe user interface, the functionality of this app is great. It’s much better than MBTA’s own app. Why they not buy this app and benefit all commuters?.Version: 2.14.0
✓ Boarding info not showingIssue has since been fixed - 5 stars because I love this app! For the last couple of days the “boarding on track” info hasn’t been showing. Is this an app glitch or an MBTA issue? If it’s app-related, can you fix it? This app is my lifeline!.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Mixing crowdsourced intel with the T’s APIThe combination of background from other riders and the MBTA’s own location data means this is the most useful tool for navigating the dysfunctions of a Commuter Rail commute, especially when things go pear-shaped as they so often do..Version: 2.15.0
✓ Great app overall, but I want a favorite tab across linesIt’s a great app to track the arrival time and boarding tracks for commuter rails. It also shows the history of timeliness/tracks and allows posting. I wish it shows a Favorite tab to show all trains/lines that I flagged as favorite instead of having to choose an individual line first in order to see my favorite train/time under that line..Version: 2.37.0
✓ A must-have for Commuter railersI would be lost without this app, and have significantly more gray hair. This app helps to alleviate some MBTA commuting stress. App has always been dead-on accurate (on Fitchburg trains) & has saved me from wasting countless hours of valuable time trying to cope with an outrageously inadequate, unreliable & sub-par Boston train system. A big THANK YOU to the app developer & to users who keep people informed & often laughing with their cheeky comments..Version: 2.15.1
✓ The best commuter rail app!I just started taking the commuter rail and this app has saved me so much time and frustration. Not only does it surface delays so I don’t wait outside on the track, but the Reporting feature allows passengers to share real-time updates on specific trains. This morning there was a long delay due to a disabled train, but a “mystery train” showed up and was running 5 minutes ahead. Was able to track that status through other passengers and actually get a window seat. To the developer, I’d love the ability to sort or filter by inbound/outbound trains, since I’m only ever looking at one direction..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Great appTells you where the train is and if it’s running late👌.Version: 2.14.0
✓ This is greatI can’t live without this app. A com imitation of valuable up to date data and a social media add on to talk with other riders. Give it a try. I promise you will love it..Version: 2.32.0
✓ AMAZINGThis app is amazing but some times isn’t correct and the tracker isn’t always reporting which is ehh but over all it’s great!.Version: 2.29.0
✓ An excellent app indeedThis is a most helpful app. Function is top notch and is reliable Understanding the data comes from the MBTA the app does a great job of presenting it!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Great app!Gives you good intel on which platform your train is on or will be on. Also gives accurate info on how its running before the MBTA email gets to you..Version: 2.11.0
✓ Great App - Super HelpfulGreat app that helps you get to the correct track way before the track is announced. Highly recommend it..Version: 2.11.0
✓ Be a commuter rail insiderThis app is the perfect combination of schedule data and crowdsourced comments. If you want to know exactly what’s causing a delay, up to the minute, this is it. Also great for knowing what track a train is departing from way before it’s announced. But shh, don’t tell TOO many people!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ ExcellentVery polished and easy to use. This app has come a long way since it was first released..Version: 2.56.0
✓ Next station was missing -Fixed.Next Station is now showing.. it was missing this morning. Great App...Version: 2.3.1
✓ Makes riding the rails much better (and funnier)The alerts and location tracking already makes this a world-class app but the community that has been created because of the app is what truly sets this apart. Having first-hand information as to why a train is delayed is truly a god-send and has saved my commute quite a few times in the 4 months I’ve had this app. Bravo!.Version: 2.14.0
✓ No masks!There are several people on the train not wearing masks and the conductor just walked by them without saying a word. Safety first?!.Version: 2.26.0
✓ Best app ever…My wife and I Love this app! It provides the most accurate and up-to-date information in a format that easy to read and understand. We have other apps, but this is our primary! Keep up the good work!.Version: 2.5.0
✓ The best app to keep track of an awful system!If you have no choice but to ride the MBTA commuter rail system, don’t do it without this app!!!.Version: 2.13.0
✓ App is still crashing on launch after latest updateDownloaded the latest update and the app it still crashing on launch. EDIT: Developer has since fixed and update. No longer crashes at startup..Version: 2.21.2
✓ Makes you into a commuting cyborgThis app has become the brains of my commute; I got to spend an extra five minutes playing Exapunks this morning since I could see my train was going to be late and I knew exactly where to stand for the double decker car so I could get a table. It has features not available from the MBTA API, such as train lateness trends, platform number likelihood (so you can decide where to stand in the station as you swig from that brown paper bag) and crowd-sourced reporting on timeliness and train car hygiene (“car number 2 smells like a squirrel died in a container of bad yogurt”). In summary, this app has earned its status as the only React Native app on my home screen. (Was going to deduct one star because no watchOS app yet, but then I remembered that using App Store reviews to coerce developers into adding pet features is a jank move.).Version: 2.11.0
✓ Wow! All the info I need!I was very pleasantly surprised by everything this app has to offer! It has a great interface that clearly shows each trains' status, real time GPS info, and best of all, the ability for passengers to post updates and communicate. This is especially helpful when passengers on a delayed train can inform those of us waiting on the platform about why the train hasn't arrived. Well worth the purchase!.Version: 2.32.0
✓ One fix neededThis app is great, and I recommend. However, one update is needed. Train routes and comments disappear once a train is supposed to have arrived at its final destination. This means that if a train is 20 min delayed to its arrival at north station, one cannot comment for the last 20 mins that the train is in progress. This leaves people uninformed..Version: 2.13.0
