DC Metro and Bus - Tracker

Good luck trying to find the information you need while being combatted with constant ads

The ads on the free version of the app make it impossible to see anything.

This app is has apps that won’t let you skip the ads or pass the ads in a way. A metro and bus scheduler app should not waste the time of users who need to know quickly when a bus arrives with ads. It is impossible to skip or remove the META app. It’s really a shame. I recommend that WMATA Rail and Bus reconsiders their ads strategy and decisions.

So many ads and spammy pops now. Delayed track info. Used to be gooda couple of years ago. Terrible now

I understand we need ads for a free app. The issue is when the ads literally prevent you from accessing the content - whether due to inability to find the exit button on the ad or the ad literally blocks you. This can result in missing trains, busses, etc. using the trip planner while traveling when you can’t access which train you’re supposed to be on and the doors are closing before you

The ads in the app completely often block all Metro content and many cannot be closed or navigated around. A recent ad for Muse prevents any use of the app.

The ads on the app are insufferable and oftentimes make the app unusable. You will try to pull up the map or time table and it takes you to ads in which you can’t skip through.

Just deleted the app. After the past week i get Ads that never complete or complete but then the app cant display any train info. Its better to guess the train schedule then use this worthless app.

MTA is a public service so the amount to ads that you can get out of to see information is disgusting

Too many ads

Having pop up ads every time you click on a different metro stop is ridiculous. Has become unusable.

Used to be a great app but now there’s so many ads it’s impossible to use. Also doesn’t have alerts on it anymore? Which makes 0 sense. I guess you have to pay to make the app useable in any sense which is not right.

This app used to be pretty handy but it’s so bogged down with forced ads now I can no longer use it.

Run ads for a transit map?

For an app that is providing time sensitive transit information, cause a long delay and block is said information makes the difference btwn being late and being on time. The whole ads design should be revamped to make this app useful

Most intrusive and annoying ads

Too many ads/popups.

Garbage app that uses minute long ads or ads with no time limit and no exit button. You're basically telling people there's no limited free option. I wouldn't waste my money on the premium version of an app that uses such sleazy tactics. Would give -5 stars if I could.

I use Moovit & it’s always accurate this app is not

The ads are preventing my ability to use this app.

I had this app for many years! But it’s WAAY too many ads now. I don’t have time trying to close out ads while I’m trying to look at my bus/train. Fix this!

If you don’t plan on purchasing the app, then don’t bother. You have unskippable ads that take a minute to clear and I don’t have time for that while catching trains.

There are unbearable ads. It’s embarrassing how bad it is.

WMATA Sold Its Riders to Advertisers One star, and that’s generous. This is the app for a PUBLIC transit system I already pay for — through my fare and my tax dollars — and somehow that wasn’t enough for you. You looked at riders standing on a platform, just trying to find out when the next train comes, and you saw ad inventory. That’s it. That’s what we are to you now: eyeballs to be sold. Checking a train time is not a premium feature. It is the entire reason this app exists. Walling it behind an ad is like a library charging you to open a book you already bought. WMATA didn’t run out of money and get creative — WMATA sold out. You took a service the public funds and rented it back to us with commercials, then had the nerve to call it an app. Nobody opens a transit app to get marketed to. We open it because we’re late, it’s cold, and we need to know if we sprint or wait. And you decided that moment — that exact moment of need — was the perfect time to make a buck off us. Shameless. Fix it or make the ads optional. Until then I’ll use anything else, and so should everyone reading this.

Just Ads. I can’t even close out of the ads after they’re done and have to force close the app.
