BART Official Customer Insights

1. However it can't current match blazing speed of trip look ups provided by BART Runner; in 10 seconds, holding my phone in one hand, I can get station-to-station train estimates, which have many times cut 10 - 20 minutes off a trip by just barely making a train or suggesting BART before my friends have ordered an Uber.

2. In an underground station? App sits and spins and is totally useless! And Bart appears to have 'retired' mobile Version of Website, which worked way better than this faulty app*Edited message - Thank you for the explanation.

3. It doesn't have the full reporting feature that the BART Watch app provides (only able to report biohazards).Thank you for posting useful+detailed "What's New" info.

4. You have to swipe down on train info screen to reveal map, and type in station name at top of map, and then wait for both map and train info pages to refresh.

5. The trip look ups here take easily 30 seconds or more and involve many more taps and typing (with autocomplete that understandably doesn't live up to Google maps) for on-the-fly look ups.

6. Many times I plan my day around the times on this app only to find out the train has been canceled when I get to the station.

7. So far, it looks great! Therefore, I strongly suggest that you RESTART YOUR DEVICE if the app doesn't work correctly immediately after you install it.This a great introductory experience for an official app, and I think it's got a lot of potential.

8. Given the multiple issues I have had with their parking management, I always assume the worst with them.I DON'T like your recent update to your app or website!! Most of the added features are extra and a little unnecessary.

9. As a heavy user, BART Runner will still be my go to tool in 90% of cases...now an Android widget with departure times, that would be a game changer.

10. Knowing what it fixes and what version it fixes can be very helpful, unlike other apps posting, "Time for your weekly update!" or other such stupid information - what a waste those are.

11. Great! But if I want to select a different station? Drop-down arrow next to station name takes you to a blank screen.
