onTime LIRR

This app is better than the MTA’s own app, but recent additions of long ads that pop up that you can’t stop or skip is infuriating. Imagine trying to look for a train in a hurry, only to be prevented from doing so because of a useless ad! (Still 4 stars when there are no ads.)

It’s a great idea, the train schedules are off, several times I’ve been sent to train that was 15-20mins delayed and there was no update! In some cases you can take the next train if going to the city or Brooklyn but if you’re at a local station you might be screwed! The news and notifications pop up freezes on the phone and I can’t get to the schedule without closing and opening the app again. This app worked more effectively when I started using it several years ago so once those fixes are made and I see improvements, I’ll be sure to improve my rating!

This app has subscription service where he charges four dollars a year. It requires you to register at their website and what does not have a way to capture the purchase that I made. And when you try to restore the purchase and if you cannot see my initial purchase it fails to honor my purchase. The developer of the app will not refund you the money. Apple will not refund you the money after 60 days. So you cannot get the money nor the services that you pay for. I hate getting ripped of. I hope Apple takes some action!

The ads stops it from optimal usage especially in the middle of looking for a schedule. Should either be before the time schedule loads or none at all... And also becomes very unreliable especially when there are delays, gives the wrong information especially when a train gets cancelled or it says cancelled and the train schedule isn’t.

2nd New Feature - MobileWare insists you provide your real-time location, or else they are going to cover a third of your screen, including relevant information, with a bright red drop-down banner that you can’t close (until you let them and third-party advertisers track you). I’d gladly pay for a one-time purchase fee or low annual subscription, but I don’t trust developers that want to track you and employ these methods. This is otherwise a very good app, and some of their other apps I’d also consider. I’d be especially skeptical when those apps are of a financial nature. So, instead of subscribing, I’ll probably be deleting this app sooner rather than later. Too bad. MobleWare was an excellent example of a well designed app in versions past.
