WhatTrain is the subway app for New Yorkers.
You already know the subway system. You just want to know *when* your train is coming. That's what WhatTrain gives you.
• Open the app for a list of all the trains around you, sorted by departure time, omitting those you couldn't reach on foot.
• Tap on a train to view the full schedule at its station along with walking directions.
• Check the Status tab for delays or service changes.
• Check the Map tab for the MTA subway map. Swipe right for a version of the map highlighting accessible stations.
REALTIME TRAIN TIMES:
WhatTrain incorporates the latest realtime information provided by the MTA. If you see "LIVE" next to a train, that is the MTA's realtime estimate based on live data.
PRIVACY:
WhatTrain respects your privacy. WhatTrain does not collect or retain your location information or any other personally identifying information about you (including your IP address). The app uses your location locally, and that's it. (As with any app that uses Apple's Location Services, using WhatTrain may expose your location to Apple.)

Effective and simple
I don’t know why this app isn’t more popular. It’s simple and sufficient if you already know generally how to get around. You get a quick glimpse on all nearby train options and when the next train is so you can make a snap decision as to how you want to go. And there’s a tab for you to see if there are train delays or changes - saves time from clicking into the MTA website. It is a little hard to see the message sometimes when it’s super long because all the sentences flow together without any sectioning to separate out the stops that are affected. And I’m really happy about the addition of the maps. Now I don’t have to use NextStop (my other train app) to check for alternatives.

Simple , accurate and easy to use. Love it
United StatesGreat app for visitors too!
This is a fantastic app. I'm not a New Yorker, but it came in extremely handy on my recent visit to the Big Apple. Great interface and very intuitive. Now, if the MTA gets its act together and offers real time countdowns for all trains!
United StatesBrilliant!
Simple, focused on what is by far the most useful information for anyone about to take the subway. Thank you!
United StatesLife saver!
This is a super helpful and well-designed app that saved me from expiring on the hot NYC subway platforms this summer. I now use it every time I take the train. I highly recommend downloading this app!
