I think there is a lot of room for improvement but these are the few changes i think would have the biggest impact on usability 1. display bookmarked stations in the “nearby” page even if they are not nearby. This is the biggest thing that would allow me to see the important things without having to tap anything after opening the app. Especially because the location displayed is often not up to date and instead a location i was at yesterday 2. save preferences for filtering by bus / rail in the nearby tab after closing the app. for commuting to work only take the train and it would be great to not have to do those extra selections every time 3. please let us add specific station tiles like they appear in the nearby section as widgets on the home screen, this would be amazing
The app is alright and is helpful for me to catch a certain train, but there should be a way to get notifications through the app for train/bus delays, single tracking etc. through the app instead of having to sign up for email or text alerts.
This app needs a lot of work to be useful. For starters - the inability to filter out only the routes I use is a problem - sure it’s nice to see everything when I’m in a different location - but day to day I want to see only my bus and metro route. I also can’t seem to favorite stops and see only those stops. Again, I don’t need to see arrivals for every bus. For stops at the beginning/end of line - it’s only showing data for one direction. I need the ability to switch from North to South (for example on the A27 at Pentagon). For metro - just copy what Metro Hero is doing. It’s so much better.
