    DC Rider is an app from Express built for Metro-riding Washingtonians. Here's what we have to offer: >> Train times and Metro alerts: Find out when the next train will service your station and get updated ...
    It never shows you the status at Shady Grove When is a training coming or going Also the directions changed from the old version to the new It no longer tells you in what direction to catch metro The gps location is also gone So I just use google maps to get to places If it says 2 minutes or any of minutes until the next train Don t believe it because it is not in sync It s actually a minute earlier         Shady Grove PSUdia
    I don t know anything about this app because every time I open it the app crashes after a few seconds     Won t stop crashing VonKuzniczci
    Great app Lets me know whether to rush to the station because the train will be arriving soon or whether I can take my time It was crashing after the 10 17 update However deleting the app and reinstalling it fixed the problem                     Had to reinstall after 10 2017 update Thomas8675309
    This app used to tell me the closest metro by entering an address now I can t find the feature It s good to know the metro time tables but without real time updates on actual metro times site information this app got a lot less useful it seems             Prefer previous version Ahnomaly
    In reviewing this app it is important to separate its performance from that of the D C Metro system That app is good but it also makes it clear that Metro provides poor service at every opportunity Be prepared for heartache                 Broken hearts hammerman58
    Fire your web dev     Doesn t load station info Noah Landay
    I appreciate this free application but wish it did a bit more like published current information good to know when waiting on the dock Like what is going on so it it s going to be more than 23 minute wait we can Uber to make a meeting or go home                     Wish it did more AustinFilmMaker
    Need to update with safe track The calender at the bottom needs to be fixed it doesn t reflect anything going on     Update lilkmonie
    More often than not the app won t have the info of the ETA of the next metro at the station you selected Frustrating waste of space on my phone Deleting now     Useless Avisitems
    Nicely done and easy to use                 Good App Eaglewolf420
    The older version provided a google map that showed where I was located and marked all the entrances to the Metro stations I ve used Metro my whole life at least since the Vienna station opened at least which was several decades ago now and this feature showed me station entrances I never knew about I loved it And used it regularly Which exit should I take to be closest to my destination I could confirm While the new version provides some really good features despite my pointing out via the app s feedback button that the SafeTrack schedule was severely outdated several months later it remained so Also the trip planner is worthless it tells you the stations along your requested route not when the next train is coming at a particular time just go to wmata to get the info you actually need not a list of stations along the way that you can easily figure out with the main map I m actually insulted by this feature we aren t idiots and most people can read a map as simple as the Metro map Despite these shortcomings I still rely on this app daily for my commutes due to the ease of access and accuracy of the timetables but wish they d add back the live location map with the stations marked and keep new features updated and accurate or get rid of them I give it three stars for ease of access of the station time tables and their accuracy             Lost a feature I loved gained one I don t DelBttrfly
    I use it regularly                     great app helps me get around Dc Jas123456789
    the latest update removed the option to see fares in trip planner please bring that back without that feature this is totally useless also the trip planner only tells which color line to ride but does NOT specify which direction aka does not name the routes why would you push out an update that took away features     terrible the update took away the fare features shannyn126
    This app is was fantastic my daily go to But the update us rendered it useless for me The stations train destinations and times and written in tiny little font that is ridiculously hard to see which defeats the whole point of the app I ve switched apps until they fix this     Awful update TigTed
    I love DC Rider because it s always super accurate and amazing and useful but I would love to see Apple Watch Version                     Great app l please make apple Watch version Snichtrte
    it s not bad but you removed a really good feature which was the fare price from one station to another and I need that feature back so I can plan my trips more efficiently             it s okay djhidan
    I ve used this app for years it s been great New version now has tiny font more clutter on the screen home screen isn t intuitive anymore unless they can make this better recommend going elsewhere now There are other better more intuitive options that you don t have to read the screen and squint to see     Terrible overhaul Brianpnp
    Why make the change in the update The new screens are difficult to read The print is smaller and greyed rather than black         Update Tulip Petunia
    This new version no longer has the station exits I used to use that feature to know which exit to take to get me closest to my destination please bring them back             Station exits LisaJP
    This app would deserve more stars if it ever displayed data for Wiehle Reston East It doesn t All that ever shows up is a NO DATA CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR THIS STATION message Data shows up for other Silver Line stations but not for Wiehle Reston East Since that s my jumping off point the app is spectacularly unhelpful How about fixing it please             Where s Wiehle Reston East tiggywrinkle
    What happened to the feature which tells the amount of cars of the trains Everyone would like to know the car amount before rushing to catch a train Please add this feature back thank you     Make this app better SpookieShayLo
    I wish you could bring back the fare feature on the app I think it s missing or it s at least hard to find I use that feature the most from this app please bring it back                 Almost there SwedishSully
    Went from a very functional and useful app to junk Fortunately you can buy an app that does exactly what this one does for a buck     DC Rider App Kbinva1
    The previous version was visually clear reasonable font size and font color for quick viewing The times for next trains are now presented in a faint grey and very small font size Also the app icon is horrible         Difficult to read Profhawk
    Tiny fonts I will manage WP metro news Nice Pop ups WAIT WHAT Haven t you irritated your riders enough         No pop up ads please Low Rant
    The interface is much improved and nicer to use However the main complaint I have is like most reviews the text is too small and grey so it s hard to see the times for incoming trains Also having the number of cars back would be great                 Good start to new app SirJaquesMaximus
    I like the new look but why take out the train length The main reason I m using the app is for standing on a portion of the platform where I can t see the sign in the station or determining if I should wait for the next train Knowing the train length is crucial so I know where to stand on the platform Please fix     Train length no longer shown nuttyturnip
    I liked the look of the new app it looked great until I couldn t see how many cars were on the next train Huh You keep telling us to spread out on the platform and use all doors it d be nice to know how many doors I have to work with C mon         Looks better but how many cars are on the next train Vodakas
    I like the new features of the app but there is one major issue The font size has been reduced and in some cases the text color is a light grey The smaller font and the lighter color make it very difficult to see station and train information at a glance while riding on the metro and trying to determine when the next train is coming when you re trying to switch trains             Issues with new version D.C. Metro rider
    Will reconsider updating this app after it gets properly sorted out with an update         Not updating based on current feedback Time Squire-in-Training
    This app was one of the reasons I got my iPhone This update although it is pretty it s less functional The train info used to be centralized and provided the number of cars Now it s spread out the text is smaller making it harder to see and the TIMES are grey I actually have to stop and focus just to see how much time I have before the next train arrives And why did you get rid of the fares on the trip planner Please fix this         Mecca4BA
    Gray text on white No train length listed This went from a great little app to nearly worthless     Boo hiss UninstallingCommuter
    This used to be the best metro app now you cant click next train for your first destination making it kinda pointless It also cant detect my location The feedback line doesnt work anymore so I cant report these bugs     Too many bugs
    Maybe its Metros API thats buggy but couldnt get arrival and departure information for some stations In addition banner ads on pages sometimes make the app unusable as you cant scroll down to get to the controls        App needs work
    Perfect for the out of towner Map plans primary and alt routes shows fares and arrival times for the next trains                 Excellent
    I loved this app and used it everyday but it stopped working a few days ago Wont show the times for any stations     Stopped working
    Add the silver line please        UPDATE
    This app used to be good before the recent update but now I cant even open it without it crashing Please fix it so I can use the app again Will review again once this is fixed     Crashes
    I used this app all the time on my iPhone 4S but since I upgraded to a 6 it is useless to me in that I am unable to hold the screen down to see the next train button to press it at the same time Hope this gets remedied soon        Not compatible with my iPhone 6
    Because those annoying ads block the button        Might as well remove the submit button
    As others have said its a decent app but useless for the next train button at the origin stop Its covered by the fare bar at the top and you cant hit it mid scroll If this gets fixed Ill gladly change the review but for now only one star     first next train
    Can u make it compatible with the iPhone 5 The screen is cut           Good but
    The Reston station times are messing up Needs to fixed                 Silver line
    Keeps saying no network but I have 3G service Not understanding I like the app        Like but
    Map and station info needs to updated for new Silver Line The planner says that to get from EFC to Largo I need to take orange then switch to blue at Rosslyn        Needs update for Silver Line
    Very useful appJUST NEEDS THE SILVER LINE UPDATE                 NEEDS SILVER LINE UPDATE
    Weak Add silver line     Add Silver Line
    This app has been helpful to me I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy DC                 Awesome
    Ever since iOS 8 Been using this for years and never had a problem Now it literally never works Please fix its a handy app           Crashes every single time I try to open it
    the ads cover up I liked it when there were no adds but it seems they are unavoidable That does not mean they have to cover up the map and other parts Build it so the ads are built into their own space within the app and dont use space already supposed to be allotted for other things        Nice update but
    Outdated           Please add Silver Line
    The real time bus schedule doesnt work anymore This used to be a great app NOT ANYMORE FIX THIS MESS     NO GOOD
    Please update it to have the silver line stations and map Thanks           Silver Line
    What good is it if it doesnt give real time updates of delays     Useless
    I liked it for a long time but right now it mixed up the colors and the destination Thought I had more time and then I are the train pulling away as I came down the escalator Unacceptable        Liked it but then this happened
    Jan 2014 update didnt install properly Left a generic icon that says waiting underneath Cant launch cant remove     Bad update
    Good functionality but the app displays advertisements and the advertisements cover important controls My guess is that nobody really tested this program        Ads get in the way of controls
    Overall this app is pretty good showing the arrival times at the WMATA Metrorail stations However for the past few days its been unable to find my closest station Is it a GPS issue that the app is having Does it need to be updated for iOS 8           Closest station not working
    Fun app fix the tweets thanks                 Where are the tweets
    I have been a big fan of this app but the closest station function hasnt been working for over a week Please fix it Otherwise I would give it 5 stars Great app           Closest Station function not working
    This is my most used app for my metro commutes It helps me plan when I should leave my house or leave work It does perform best with a strong cell connection              Great App
    The app works fine except you cannot click on FranconiaSpringfield or Huntington on the station map because the ad covers them up Please fix this           Ads cover map
    Its ok but doesnt show when the next train will leave at end stations ie Vienna Shady Grove Glenmont etc in the station information view This would be helpful           Its ok
    Please fix the next train button Its hidden under top title bar     Next train button not accessible
    This app hasnt been updated in over a year Functions like the twitter feed and news have stopped working It is a shame because it was a decent app but now it is largely useless     Support discontinued
    This has been unresolved for months You cant actually hit the button to see when the next train is coming The button is there but covered by the bar that shows fare info     Cant see next train pointless
    For the past week the wait time for the next time has been off The app time isnt in sync with real times Have missed a few trains because of it           Time is inaccurate
    Wont show my next train Hides the option and Im unable to pull down the screen so I can click Uninstalling does not fix please help     Wont show nxt train
    I wish u could pay a fee even one time to get rid of ads Also needs to be updated to be compatible with iPhone 5 screen size           Okay But
    Ive been using this app for years since I moved to DC and its been amazing but now you cant access the next train options Especially the next train button up top for the first stop Please fix Other than that its a great app           Next train buttons deleted
    Can you update the app please                 No silver line
    This app has not been updated with the new Silver Line or the new Silver Line stations        It was a useful app
    Silver Line support My Favorites settings were wiped out in the last update Do not accept until this defect is corrected Also the map is incorrectly aligned A giant step backwards     Unacceptable Update
    You cant see when the next train is coming because its covered by the Reset Fare info THIS IS A MAJOR FAIL RENDERING THE APP USELESS     Cant see next train info
    Nice app except its missing the most important thing the time schedule How can you plan a trip if you can only see when the next train is Too bad otherwise good interface     Trip planner with no time table
    This app has been on my iPod and then on my iPhone for as long as I can remember Sure its a bit simplistic but I am well accustomed to searching for the next train It displays upcomig trains just as signs in stations do I give myself an extra minute from what it says and it helps me determine when I should go left or right on the escalators FYI under the trip planner the Fare button will give you the fare time and distance for whatever metro trip youre planning Wish an app this simple existed for metrobus and rideon                 Simple and Great for Metro Commutes
    Gives an accurate time for the next arriving train at every station Now you finally will know if rushing down the escalator is worth it                 Accurate useful
    Used this app for a year now and just realized that if you click on the nearest Metro you can see the next train arrival times Love this app                 Love this app
    App would be great if the submit button werent hidden behind the ads     UI design issues
    Love it Big improvement over previous versions Thanks for keeping it free                 A commuter must have app
    I love the app its just it needs to be updated so it can have the silver line Ive seen the actual map on the train and it has it so Im thinking u guys could update it so it will have it                 silver line
    I take Metro everyday and used to rely on this apps twitter feed for information on the frequent red line delays However the twitter feed has stopped working and my emails to the apps tech support are going unanswered Ive uninstalled and reinstalled several times to see if that would fix the problem but it hasnt It would be an app worth paying for if it worked properly        Disappointed
