Chicago L Metro Map for Android

At the time of writing, this app hasn’t been updated in about 3 years, so it doesn’t know about changes to the CTA, like the new Washington/Wabash station. Otherwise it works perfectly fine.

I use this app extensively when I visit Chicago and it gets me from Point A to Point B.

I was new to Chicago. I used the L to get around to all the touristy sites. I really like the trip planner and the easy to follow stop designations on the Application. I liked how i could say I was at Grand Station and then chose a location like Wrigley Park, as a desired location i needed the CTA to get me to. However it would have been nice to have a way to see the cross streets laid on a map, beneath the L stops. I had to open a normal tourist map on one page, and then ur CTA application on another, to figure out where i needed to be. Maybe i just missed this feature, but if not, it would be a good idea for a future tweak.

I used the app the last time I was in Chicago, so using it once a year takes a little acclamation. The app has improved since my last usage, it would be nice if the step by step were a little clearer (matching route and train to end line destination to make sure you're going in he right direction). Otherwise good stuff.

This could be a very useful app, and it is to some extent, but it has a major flaw. Yes, you can plan a route by entering a starting station and end station but the app only gives you current time results. There is no way to select the day and time you wish to travel. This makes the "route planner" basically useless for planning a trip in advance. Huge oversight in design and why I give only two stars.
