WhatTrain vs Platform Pro Usage & Stats
WhatTrain is the subway app for New Yorkers.
You already know the subway system. You just want to know *when* your train is coming. That's what WhatTrain gives you.
• Open the app for a list of all the trains around you, sorted by departure time, omitting those you couldn't reach on foot.
• Tap on a train to view the full schedule at its station along with walking directions.
• Check the Status tab for delays or service changes.
• Check the Map tab for the MTA subway map. Swipe right for a version of the map highlighting accessible stations.
REALTIME TRAIN TIMES:
WhatTrain incorporates the latest realtime information provided by the MTA. If you see "LIVE" next to a train, that is the MTA's realtime estimate based on live data.
PRIVACY:
WhatTrain respects your privacy. WhatTrain does not collect or retain your location information or any other personally identifying information about you (including your IP address). The app uses your location locally, and that's it. (As with any app that uses Apple's Location Services, using WhatTrain may expose your location to Apple.)

Platform Pro is a simple, fast way to answer two questions about the NYC MTA Subway:
- When is the next train departing from the closest stations?
- How generally screwed-up is the train service right now?
Open the app, and you'll see a list of subway departures organized by time and distance to you. Swipe left to see active service alerts, and click on an alert to get more detailed information. That's... it! A stripped-down approach means virtually instant load times, no ads or bloat, and a one-click answer to the two most common commuter questions.
This app is *not* designed to replace full-featured navigation services. There's no support for trips or directions, there's no map interface, and I've included timetable info only from the MTA Subway (for now). If you're planning a complex, multi-transit route, use one of those other services. But if you know already know *where* you're going and just need to know *when*, use Platform Pro.
