Description

The subway app for on-the-go: real-time train arrivals & service status at your fingertips.
Tap a station directly on an official MTA subway map to see next trains & their real-time arrival info. Underway is optimized for offline experience, helpful during long subway rides underground: map is always available for browsing, as well as the most recent data loaded from the server.
Fastest map to use. Period.
Underway is a home-grown, independent project. We believe that public transportation should be user-friendly. Underway is supported by ad revenue and by in-app purchases.

PRESS REVIEWS
Makespace - “Let’s face it: Google Maps can only get you so far. Made specifically with busy New Yorkers in mind, it’s an all-in-one commute compendium."
Brokelyn - ”In addition to the MTA’s online Subway Times, which offers the current arrival times by line & station and is accessible from the internet even beyond the subway’s hallowed platforms, Underway NYC now offers the same information but in app form & plotted to a subway map."
Viewing NYC - “[Underway] removes all the extra features & bloat of the transit apps and simply shows you how many minutes it is until the next train at your station."
WHAT OUR USERS SAY

- “It's perfect for night owls like me, who must often wait up to 15 minutes for the next train.”
- ”Underway matches my mental model of the subway.”

(Fixed) Family share not working

CD999888 on

United States

UPDATE: family share not working was completely my fault for leaving the option on the default off. Thank you, Daniel, for your help… Apparently I had a moment! App works wonderfully.

Crashes on favorites

ac5903 on

United States

Tapping the favorites button (heart) immediately crashes the app. • Underway version latest • iOS version latest production (not beta) • I have the monthly subscription UPDATE: after viewing the subscriptions page... now it mostly *doesn't* crash??! Well, alrighty then. :) Everything else about the app is lovely.

Excellent timings

This app is excellent, it’s so accurate with when trains are coming. I don’t know why google maps and transit have not been able to replicate this accuracy but their loss.

The Perfect Subway App

ian.j.mck on

Underway is marvelous. It is the navigation app that I use most consistently on the train, and for good reason. It has exactly the information I need and nothing more, and it executes it perfectly. I know how to read a map. I don’t need colorful directions and an inventive new route that combines ferries, buses, and a dollar van. I want to know when I need to leave my apartment and if it’s worth it to wait for an express train. Underway gets me the information I want and it does it without drama. It also has lots of very thoughtful touches. It works very well offline, and I like that I can send a train tracking link to people I’m meeting so that they can track me live. It’s like flight tracking but for the subway. For all its utility and minimalism, Underway also betrays the meticulousness of its creators. Changes to the subway map are added right away — the walking connection between Times Square and Bryant Park seemed to appear within hours after it opened. Everything works how I need it to, when I need it to. EDIT: The service changes are better than just about any other app now. [Previously: The only thing that might need some more nuanced adjustment is the service change interface, which shows absolutely everything affecting a train at once and can be a touch overwhelming. Other apps do service changes, though.] Nothing does what Underway does as well as Underway does it. I haven’t even written an app review in years. I just feel I have a duty to point out the rare thing in our world that is not a disgusting disappointment. This is among them. Bravo!

Kept up to date

Really nice simple app overlaying waiting times on top of frequently updated MTA subway map, with localisation. Just wish there was a Manhattan bus map as well, maybe for a one time fee.

Great app

La-Puerta on

United States

I basically never review apps, but this thing is exactly what I wanted. It is extremely simple and does what it needs to, without any fluff. I like that it just uses a normal subway map as the layout, very easy to navigate. It has been a godsend for timing trains and altering course mid trip.

Better than anything ive used.

arexsity on

United States

I love this app, saw it on tiktok knew i had to download this app. Kinda think its a bad idea to pay for connecting trains, but Its alr because this is a good app. Maybe add busses to this to :)

I couldn't love this app more!

Uptowner2023 on

United States

Life-long NYer here, and this app just gets me. It knows exactly what I need. The clean simple facts and not all that jazz. Easy to use, and accurate! Do you have one for buses? I'll download it if you do :)

Notifications on service changes

jduqvkdhdbksnw on

United States

This app is already good enough but having service notifications would make it even better.

So Easy to Use!

CMS2203 on

United States

We at random downloaded this app as confused New York tourists. This app is all you will need to navigate anyway you are going.
