Ratings and reviews

Amazing app! Wondering where your train is, how many minutes until it arrives, where it's going? This app will tell you! You can even select "favorite" stations, and quickly access them! View a map from your current station to the train's destination! Is there a service diversion? The app will let you know! Utilizing real-time MTA info, Turnstile will let you know where your train is, and when it will arrive!

I'm very happy with this app in general, but I have now noticed an issue. I'm running the latest Turnstile version on two different phones that are each running Android 14. The issue on both phones is this: on the Turnstile "Subway" page, if I select "Summary" at the upper right, the summary data pops up and then disappears after around 1/2 second. Therefore, I can never read that Summary info. Clearing cache and storage does not fix the problem. Thank you for looking into this.

Having favorites is a gamechanger. Thanks for building this. No permissions required as well.

What’s new

Thanks for checking out Turnstile! This version consolidates the "Search" and "Nearby" screens into "Explore".
