iTrans LA Metro App Reviews

I found this app to be half useful, but it really needs bus lines. Even if live updates to times arent available-- an offline list of line and stops would be a lifesaver! Id love to be able to have an app that charted routes from point A to B while off wifi.

I have been using a similar app in Seattle called Seattle Bus. It tells me interactively if my bus is late and by how many minutes by using the gps on the buses. This LA metro app is disappointing in comparison and I am surprised the reviews gave so many stars. All this is is a light rail schedule, which you could have written in a piece of paper for your station and put in your pocket. You dont even need an iPhone! The info for this ad did say that you can use this program offline, but I didnt know that was what the developer meant. To be fair I should point out that it does have google map for locating your station, but it is not integrated into the app. So why use google map within this app? It cannot give me directions to go from A to B unless these are stations that I already know. Then I dont need directions. In addition, the LA light rail system is quite limited and so there is not much information that is in here. If I am trying, for example, to go from Union Station to Burbank airport. You would type in From Union Station and To Bur... It would say it cannot find anything. I guess Silver Line is not yet included although I can see it in the metro map above the doors in the light rail I am riding.

I bike around LA alot and this app saved me couple of times during a flat tire. This would really be a life saver if they add bus lines.

Lets hope they use the money to get this working with the buses gps, otherwise the PDF on the Mta.net website is 10 times more informative on all of the citys public transportation system.

I understand the intention of this app., but itd be infinitely more beneficial if it was tied into yelp or some other comparable app. All this app. really does is give the user the train timetable and their proxity to a station. This app. could be the beginning of something L.A. could really utilize if done well. Please keep upgrading this!

im really upset that I spent my own money on this app when it didnt do anything I needed. it couldnt even locate my current location properly...it said I was outrageously far from where I truly am. the bus lines are very limited so you basically cant do the things you wanted to do when you bought the app. Im abt to try out "metrO." hopefully itll work better :-/

Having used the app for the Washington metro and experiencing the REAL quality, I can honestly say this was the bigges waste of .99 cents ive ever made. Its not well thought out and has no options. Would be a good idea to have it tell u where the attractions are. This app is sad. Dont waste your money seriously.

Thanks to this fantastic aplication I arrive to the station knowing the time schedule of the trains so I dont wait for hours. I use Metro a lot.

App was working well and then after the new year all train/metro listing say "not in service". Just want the times to show up again. Anyone from iTrans reading reviews please address

Ok, When i first downloaded the application, it was great. After the new year I was having difficulty getting it to work, a not working message would pop up.. Needless to say I asked for my money back, the seller Adam Ernst replied everthing was now workin, NOT! Now Im having to make it a chore at work trying to get my 99cents back... What a pain, i hope Apple knows how this reflects poorly on thier product.

I reported this app. It no longer works...are they trying to fix this? Dont waste your money...

As the previous reviewer noticed, theres a bug with the time schedule: when you choose one direction and navigate through it, the app shows you times for both directions).

My favorite App until recently when the times have been replaced with a "not in service" statement. Please, I would love to have this app work. Can the developer give us an update here in the reviews? Update! This app would get 5 stars if it had not been for the lapse in service. And actually, had the developer communicated about the lapse, I would have been fine about it too. Next time there is trouble I hope we get some sort of notice along with contact with users/info on the website (which btw is rather sparse on content). Thanks though! This is my favorite app!

I wanted to give this a great review. I dont want Yelp attached. I live here so I know where everything is. I just need to know what time I need to leave the house to catch which train to be somewhere by a certain time. Whoops. Could not get a time frame to get to Union Station in time to catch my Amtrak train. There is a bug that shows times going the wrong way or in the case of Union Station you arrive in the past. Trust me on that one. This would be a perfect app for a local if it just told us what times our trains arrive and depart. Thats all a local needs. We already know where were going.

Dont give these creeps any of your money. The app crashes whenever I try to calculate a route.

Please fix this!

Handy for quickly determining your nearest station and when the next train(s) is due to arrive. Very handy "at a glance" if youre a visual person, since it uses the same map thats at all the stations and on all the transit vehicles. The app seems to take into account weekends and holidays properly, but does not appear to factor in modified schedules (due to service disruptions or maintenance). This "nice to have" would obviously depend on LA Metro publishing live schedule changes in a way that the app developer can digest, of course. The app also does not modify its timetables on-the-fly. In other words, if/when Metro publishes a new schedule, the app will require an update in order to stay accurate. Still, I rely on this every day and it works great on my iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.0.1

I thought it was an app for the bus system. You have to know the exact name and address of metro rail stations to get directions. Its not user friendly. Dont waste your money!

The MAPS app does the thing. And better. Can I have my .99 back, so I can buy a song for my bus ride? Rip Off!

This is a fantastic app for offline train schedules, and the service alert feature is handy as well. It would be nice if it incorporated schedule changes more quickly though. Also, it would be great if the new Expo line were included (and soon the Orange Line extension).
