User Reviews
As a New Yorker for 20 years this is one of my favorite apps. I’ve had this app for almost as long as I’ve been here. I know where to stand on the tracks where exits are and it’s been reliable since the day I downloaded it. I didn’t even realize that the app has continued to be updated. Thanks!
For $20, you would expect a fully functional app that is updated. But there are stations missing from the lines, and each time you open the app, you have to “back” out of whatever random section of the app that it starts you in. If this was a $2 app, I’d give it 3 stars.
Could you update the Q line (96th, 63rd, etc). Station names and maps are outdated, making the app confusing. Hope it’s not huge work to make this happen.

This app is INVALUABLE for navigating the subway efficiently. It's saved me from missing connections so many times, and it makes getting where you're going so much easier. Thank you for the great app!
I've had this app for almost 20 years. Pretty sure it was the first app I ever paid for, on an iPod Touch around '07/'08. The description says it all. Don't wait. This is $4 VERY well spent. I'm a native NYer, but no one knows exactly where to stand for every possible exit at every station. Now you can. If you care about maximizing the efficiency of your commute, download this immediately. Honestly, they can/should charge more.
As a NYC subway rider this is by far the best app for efficient use of waiting at the right place on the platform for a train to arrive to improve my subway exit.
I first bought this app more than 10 years ago and it is probably the transit app I open most frequently in NYC. It requires no Internet, so can be used underground. While other transit apps may have more frills, this has been my trusty guide almost every day in New York.
Who wants to walk around stinky subway stations avoiding rats and water dripping from random places. This app helped save so much time that would’ve been wasted walking through some of the maze like nyc subway platforms. Would recommend if you use the subway to get around all of nyc.
I’ve been using this app religiously for over 15 years. I beat every crowd to the stairs every time. I know which stairs are the quick ones (last car going to Yankee Stadium gang stand up). Every friend asks how I know where to stand on every platform, and every one is amazed by how useful this info is. I wish I could support the devs more.just for maintaining this essential repository of NYC transit knowledge.
Over the years papas have come and gone, but I have always had Exit Strategy! Such a useful app and I’m so happy to see it getting updates.
