Pretty decent app

Really cool app for being free. Easy to switch between where youre going from and back.

Not bad!!! A great app!

It can give the time on next train gonna depart or arrive. I hope it dont turn out to be glitchy.

Works great

The essential info pops right up to give you your train options.

This app

I love this app. It helps me and my wife to be on time for the train. I recommend this app to anyone that takes Metra.

Great App! Very convenient.

Glad I added it. No problems noted.

Great App

Use it all the time.

So much easier than looking at a paper schedule!

Now to merge ticket purchase with it. Schedule is much easier than Ventra.

Conenient

Free version works. No issues, so far....

OnTime is on point!

This app is so easy and convenient to use. I just started commuting to downtown again and this app took a lot of the hassle out of figuring out my new commute schedule!

Broken

When you switch to a different train station, it does not refresh, i didnt notice it until it was too late, now i am sitting on the wrong train, it was critical i get to work at a certain time, now i have a very good chance of being fired.

Not actual train time

I take the Metra daily this app is NOT in real time. It will say I arrived at a stop and we havent . The train will be like 10 mins behind for the entire ride but the app never reflects that! Its not actual real time so dont trust it

Wont work if your trip has change of train

Im a big fan of Embarks Metra app but its no longer available so Im looking for a new app--tried this one. I needed to route from Oak Park (Union Pacific West) to Evanston (Union PacificNorth) which requires a change of trains at Ogilvie. This app could not find a route unless I entered each segment separately (OP to Ogilvie then Ogilvie to Evanston). Useless...will keep looking for an app that works.

Ditched it.

It was fine at first, but then the schedules started changing from one moment to the next. It also always defaulted to an old favorite of mine for no reason. But the final straw was just a minute ago when it said the train would be at the station at 7:01am -- it was -- but promptly blew past because it was an EXPRESS TRAIN. Download at your own risk, apparently.
