Latest reviews of find a metro dc app for iPhone and iPad
I have had verizon for the last ten years. I have lived in this place called dc for almost a year, which means I have had to spend countless minutes waiting for trains with nothing to do but watch people play with their iPhones. It is especially frustrating working an 11 hour day, getting to the metro and watching the orange line doors close just as my foot hits the bottom step of a broken escalator. Then my friend showed me this app. That the planner and gps tell me how to get to the closest metros was neat. But the real moment was when I discovered that it tells you the arrival times of any train at any metro. I can only compare the feeling to what Harold and Kumar felt when they finally made it to Whitecastle, or perhaps even when they escaped from Guantanamo Bay. For the last three months I have been staring longingly at my calendar for the arrival of the new iPhone 4. I have battled verizon to free me once again from their computer records system "unintentionally" locking me into yet another contract term. Now I have my iPhone and this app. What can I say other than I am happy that I can now prevent precious moments of my life from being taken day by day, minute by minute, escalator by escalator. Seriously, if youre new to the city determined on making life incrementally but inexorably harder on its inhabitants, a dollar is worth it to make it so much easier.
Just got back from two weeks in DC and used this app multiple times per day! Nobody should visit DC without it! Not only is the Metro info extremely well done, but the guide for getting to nearby attractions is worth buying the app for by itself! Well done!
Great app. Especially if youre not familiar with the area. Really couldnt ask for more (except maybe to make it free).
Awesome app, so helpful and always accurate. Best app for metros in DC
I couldnt get it to give me real time arrivals of circulator buses. So I just bookmarked the free circulator web page on my desktop instead.
