Ratings and Reviews
Not reporting broading track information anymore
Love this app. Would give it 5 stars BUT for some reason the MBTA Rail App not posting “boarding track information” anymore. I’m using the newest iOS version from apple App Store. Using iPhone 12 max pro phone. And 5g for internet connection. I’m running iOS 17.2 I recently upgraded. Maybe this is why? I’m leaving south station. No trains a posting boarding track information. I take the Foxboro train. If that helps. Mark O
Developer Response ,
Hi - the MBTA had an issue a few weeks ago that prevented boarding track numbers from appearing in their data. The outage lasted a couple days but it’s since been fixed. Thanks for using the app!
Makes you into a commuting cyborg
This 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.)
More than just train times
Worth 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.
