Comments on DC Metro & Bus: WMATA Realtime for Android
★★★★☆A Google user· Jun 9, 2025
Why does the bus ID#, stop ID# no longer shows on the app, unless I start from favorite bus to check for times
★★★★★Rhonda Lammons· Nov 26, 2024
The B2 bus is one of the best metro buses with friendly operators, and it's always on time when I RIDE THE BUS and THE bus drivers most of the drivers are exceptionally spiritually spirited and friendly people, but you always have to have one in the bunch that got his panties stuck up his notes overall the drivers are amazing because God is driving all the time I like THE B2 BUS DRIVERS AND THE W4 BUS DRIVERS ARE ALSO GREAT BUS DRIVERS

This DC Metro App is excellent. I know exactly when to arrive at Bus Stop.
★★☆☆☆Dan Perlmutter· Apr 5, 2025
When the app is functioning, it's great to have. However, recent updates have removed bus stops from the map, so you can only look up by bus line; changed station identifier numbers rendering existing favorite stops defunct; added a random imaginary metro line; and for customers who paid to avoid the very annoying ads, added the ads back in (there been no other benefit to buying the free app). Seems their new programmer is not up to snuff.
★★☆☆☆R. M.· Aug 1, 2024
I want to love this app. WHEN it is working, it's by and large a pretty accurate app. The payment for ads is a one time payment and not a subscription. That being said, this app regularly goes through periods where it does not pull live bus data at all. Right now I can't even search for the bus route. This is a HUGE issue because that's what I imagine most users are actually downloading it for. The other large issue is the fact that the stop numbers do not line up with those posted.
