CityTransit - Official NYC Subway Maps App Reviews

61 add

Good first attempt

For the price this program is ok but compared to the free program metro (for Windows and Palm) that includes routing instructions this one needs some work. The GUI is good and the map was fine. I used the program and found it helpful.

Awesome

Worth the price entirely; it is super useful for a NYC trip. Things that would improve this app are: google maps integration and borough bus maps, which are sadly missing

Perfect!

A must have!

Great app. Worth the price.

I downloaded this app before arriving in NYC for the first time ever. Found it came in handy so many times when trying to figure how to get where I wanted to go. Nice clean interface. Well worth the $3.

nice but a bit pricey for what it is

I find this app really useful, theres no denying that, but compared to what other apps do, $2.99 for this is a bit on the expensive side of things. For $0.99, I would have given it a five-star rating, but at the price theyre selling it, I cannot in good conscience give it more than three stars. Whats there is great, but by the very nature if it, there just isnt enough substance in this app to justify a three dollar price tag in my humble opinion. And did I mention it could be cheaper? ;)

Very Helpful

I had just gotten to new york when I decided to buy this application. It got me everywhere I needed to go and the location feature worked perfectly.

Good, but . . .

The Manhattan bus map cuts off around 150th Street, a major problem for the many, many people who live in Upper Manhatten. Also, the App Support link is broken.

No update

HELLO??! WHERE ARE THE UPDATES??? The new stop on the 7 train is non existent.. Dont pay for this hunk of garbage

Needs updating

I like the simplicity of this app, and the clean interface. The design is very well-done. Unfortunately, nobody has updated this app in two years. For example, the 7 Line extension to 34th Street and 11th Avenue opened to the public in May 2015. But the map still shows the 7 as ending at Times Square and 42nd Street. So unfortunate. Hello, CityTransit? Anybody there?

**OUTDATED MAP**

The subway map has changed and zero updates in 2 years. Move on!!!

Old Maps

Sorry, this app hasnt been updated in a very long time. Provided maps of subway lines and stops are no longer current.

Best app ever !

I dont care what anyone says Ive had this app for more than 2 years and it has saved my behind in MANY occasions it might not be all updated but for that go to MTA.info like seriously common sense just use this to know your stops and where to transfer if you do !

Used to LOVE this app, but the maps are out of date

This app needs its maps updated. Seriously--no updates in over a year? NYC is still changing. Dont charge $3 for an out of date map. Thats basically fraud. Take the app down, update it or put in the description, at the top, that the maps are no longer accurate.

Out of date, DONT buy!

This last update to this app is over a year old. I loved it the first 2 years that I used it, but changes in MTA and a lack of updating have caused it to be an unreliable source for getting you around town. Plus, it doesnt offer any information about buses in any other borough other than Manhattan (which coincidentally is easy to navigate by bus without a map because its just a grid). Until they begin to update regularly, just use google maps, which will even give you scheduled subway and bus times.

The worst

Got the app. Found it to be useless and out of date. That app should be in real time as there are construction closures like the E train. Main subway train. Closed for construction. Stood there like a jerk for a while. Not worth money

Unreliable

It pains me to write this review because the developers are friends of my friends but half the time this app does NOT provide current service advisories. Like tonight! It says the E train is good to go. But its not! The 53rd Street Madison Station is CLOSED! Now Im in a taxi extremely annoyed.

no updates in over a year?

I used to love this app and rely on it regularly, but the maps are now two years out of date (bus maps from 2010, when theyve massively changed bus routes between then and now?), and it doesnt provide current service advisories. Without an update, Im afraid this is less than useless. And to still be charging for something that is this far out of date and quite frankly, the opposite of useful, is unconscionable.

Out of date

This map is severely outdated and will get you lost. I used it to navigate an unfamiliar route and it was a disaster. The company has made corrections.

Useless

This app used to be great but neglect from the developer had rendered it useless. Outdated maps will only get you lost. Do not buy!! Especially if youre a tourist!

Really bad now!

This app used to be good. But the last update rendered it useless! Why did you have to mess with it ? Color coding is confusing now (does not match the subway line color coding); cannot magnify beyond a certain limit making it unviewabe on an iphone screen; nasty and confusing new look ....... I could go on. Just awful awful update.
