Washington DC Metro Route Map

Some of the friendliest people I have met in DC work for the metro. As tourists, my daughter and I, have felt lost but these people were always ready to answer any question with a smile and overall cheerfulness. No words are adequate to tell you how wonderful I believe your employees are

I feel like this is an app that doesn’t entirely understand the need it’s supposed to fill. Some apps need to be able to perform a large number of computations at once. It’s understandable that these apps would take a while to load. This app, though, isn’t one of them. Essentially, all it needs to do is display a single image file showing a map. It’s users include people who are in a rush, who just got to the metro station and need to *quickly* figure out where they’re going. Tor them, it needs to load instantaneously. For them, the five to ten seconds this thing takes to load feels like an eternity. It isn’t worth whatever features cause it to take so long to load.

This app was my lifesaver while exploring DC solo. I took the Metro a lot of places because of the ease of it and with this app I knew exactly where I needed to go, where to transfer, and how long it would take me, even if it was across the city. It did require time to already know the Metro stops near my destinations, but those were just a quick google search away. I love this app and will continue to use it if I’m ever in the DC area again!
