LIRR TrainTime

Sure It tells train time, but it’s really not very efficient. When you try to look up your train time it only gives you a few trains so if you’re looking for a wider variety of times, or even the times for the whole day, you have to keep searching. It also doesn’t update for cancelled trains- they will still appear on the schedule through the app. Also. For the love of god. Stop deleting my favorited stations. It’s a right pain having to search it all the time, especially with how finicky the search tool can be. Overall, it does tell train times. But it’s terrible to use.

The LIRR Train Time application is a resourceful aid for those who use the Long Island Rail Road daily or even for those who use it sparingly as it provides information for all aspects of the service. From arrival times to station information, from ticket prices to service alerts, to the latest news to trip planners the app has it covered. The design while a bit cluttered due to the enormous amount of information provided does not hamper ease of use. Users of the Metro North Train Time application can expect the same UI design so there is no learning curve. This app is even more beneficial now due to the recent service changes and disruptions the LIRR is going through and will be going through for the next couple of months. Users can just check the app to see what stations are affected, and see what connecting services can be used to avoid them. Regular users of the LIRR service need to have this application above all other s as you get a complete view and guide of the transit experience.

Great app, I use it whenever I'm traveling on a slightly different schedule than usual and need to know my options. Just two pieces of feedback: 1. Having the pop up about trains being rescheduled EVERY time I open the app is kind of overkill. When there's construction all summer long and I have seen this message before - I just want to find my train info, I wish there would be some kind of "don't show this again" option. Or at least the message could be a banner at the top instead of an in-your-face, urgent looking full-screen message. 2. One great feature to add would be track information for trains. When I'm going to be running for a train, or if I'm not in a place where I can hear the station announcements and need to get to the right track, it would be super helpful to be able to check the app and find that information.

This clean and simple app is easy to use and better than the newer MY MTA app. I would give it 5 stars if they would show the entire train route (ie before AND after your selected trip). I’d like to know if my station is the 7th or 2nd stop on the route. It makes a big difference as to whether or not I can get a seat and ultimately whether or not I will want to take that particular scheduled train. PLEASE ADD THAT FEATURE -even if it’s greyed out.

The app doesn’t actually give you accurate readings of when the train is coming. Today the app stated the ronkonkoma was running fine. After leaving my house in the snow, I show up to find out that line isn’t running at all. So why do you need the app? You’re better off just getting a regular schedule online, or through paper. They connect fancy things like lyft which is helpful, but we need to actually simply just know if the trains are running or not. It’s that simple. Making your app fancier, won’t necessarily bring more value to the customers if it’s actual purpose isn’t functioning.
