BEST value for your money - 1000 percent worth the investment. You might even find some nice helpful commenters among your fellow curmudgeonly commuters!
★★★★★Don Jackson· Dec 7, 2023
Don't ride commuter rail without this app! Everything you need to know about when your train is coming and what to expect. It provides info from MBTA backed up by posts from other riders. Great developer too - very responsive and dedicated!
★★★★★Shawn Anderson· Feb 11, 2025
THE app for commuter rail riders. Would be left in the dark without it.
★★★★★Sean Gee· Oct 8, 2024
The real time updates are so much better than the MBTA. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
★☆☆☆☆Elena Kendall· Apr 6, 2024
Basic info is now a behind a subscription paywall
★☆☆☆☆Kate Mills· Feb 26, 2026
I loved it for years, and I even contributed updates regularly as I commuted. Now it is subscription bleedware for all the most useful features, including those social features that were so useful. Talk about turning off your longstanding user base.
★☆☆☆☆Mark Corsillo· Jun 25, 2024
This app used to be amazing. It was the best way to know what was going on with the train. Now you have to pay $1 a month to unlock anything other than the most basic functionality? I only occasionally take the train now, so it's not worth a monthly subscription. I'd be fine with a one-time $10 charge or something, given how much use I got out of this app back when I used to commute, but not looking for a monthly or even annual fee.
