There is now an iPhone application that works perfectly with my list of contacts for navigating through the Big Apple and beyond. Keep up the great work guys!!!!!

I used this yesterday for the first time, and it was great. A couple of hitches with the graphics, but it makes getting around in NYC much easier. Can't speak for the subway system in Hawaii, but for buses and subways in NY, you can't beat it.

Just like the website, so you know what to expect.

Works really well. Like how it uses addresses from your contacts. Great for NYC

Finally, the Hopstop application! A little slow to load, but definitely a great app. Exactly what I've been waiting for. Necessity for visitors and residents!

Love this app. This is what I have been waiting for. Simpler and more elegant than HopStop's web and wap sites, more powerful than Google Maps transit.

If you use the web site, then you will be familiar with how to use this app. Simple, functional, practical. I like the new feature where it will estimate the cost of your taxi drive and give you the option to call the cab companies directly from the program. Note: I have not actually taken one of thes estimated trips to see if the pricing is accurate. I'm sure traffic etc will affect the rates, but it's a good way to at least get a ballpark figure before taking the ride.

This is the best app to get around New York...

Good app. Needs the ability to save a route offline or email it so it can be accessed with no service (as would be the case if I am in the subway and don't remember where I need to transfer).

Works for me. No problem yet with finding addresses. Wish you could set default city though so I wouldn't have to type in NY everytime.

If this app would allow any manually entered addresses or intersections to work, and not be rejected as invalid, it's be awesome. I'll just stick with Hopstop's mobile site instead.

I love this app!

good app, like it, use it

Won't function without a zip code. Useless.

I entered two full addresses with zip for NYC. It couldn't find an Astoria address and, therefore I couldn't map to it. (assumed the Astoria address was a manhattan address). Not very useful.

Doesn't correctly find the address I put in. It always suggest wrong address. I hope they can fix the problem. Guess back to google maps...

The description says this app works for Metro North, but I can't get it to recognize New Haven, or anywhere else in the Connecticut line.

It's kind of really stupid for anyone to have even if you have a basic idea of nyc (I live here) so why not just learn the subway and not look like a stupid tourist? I does what it says. Not worth keeping for new yorkers

Great app!!! The best one for getting around New York's subway system!!!

Works as stated, a few request for future releases.

It still crashes on start up.

I have a basic knowlege of NYC so when they give me an estimation of what address I gave them it was ok it just was perfect to let me know which subways to take

This does a passable job for a free App. But why on earth would you run advertisements inside the App imploring us to download the App?!? That's just silly...

This is simply the best app around, especially for DC. It has the bus system, which no other app can say, and it provides detailed directions using both of them.

An NYC Godsend.

I was stuck on a white screen multiple times after installing. I restarted. Reinstalled. Freeze. I was about to give up and voilà...here we go. I live in NY and Hopstop is great. Hopstop for iPhone is almost great. Needs schedules. Unlike Maps, this doesnt have schedules. Like Maps, you have to leave out apt, suite and floor info. It's free so for me this is a great start. Fix the crashes and add schedules and the App Store rating might improve. Still I think ppl should give hopstop for iPhone a shot. It's FREE.

This is simply the best app around, especially for DC. It has the bus system, which no other app can say, and it provides detailed directions using both of them. It would be nice if it showed the directions in a version of google maps or on the metro maps that the transit agencies provide.

Gave me terrible directions when I tested it out in NYC. If you live in NYC and don't use the bus, itrans is a much better program and it's worth the 2 bucks.

I'm a big fan of the website already, so I am thrilled to have this on my phone. So far it is pretty simple to use and I love that I can still get information about subway diversions, etc.

I can't believe it took so long to have this app. I was waiting for it! It took so long that I was almost giving it up and using google maps public transit ( which is getting better everyday) the bad, and this is really bad, is that this app doesn't have an address book as the web version. I hope it's fixed soon.

This app needs major improvements. It's useless when you travel to a different city where you are not familair with the mass transit system.

What's up with the whining? Works great! No zip needed for NYC subway directions. Just like the website. Bus info would be helpful and 5 star-worthy.

This makes me wish I had an iPhone instead of the iPod Touch, since this is pretty much the only app which has the BUS routes as well as the subway (and it's FREE).

I can't count how many times I tried entering in an address and I see "address not found" which is very annoying. I even tried my own house as the destination and said it couldn't be found. This application has only worked twice and unless the devs don't intend to update I will b deleting it from my phone.

Manually entering an address results in a "address not found" response. I've only been able to receive directions with addresses already programed in my contacts. Hopefully an update will address this issue. (no pun intended)

Does not have the smarts of Google Maps when searching NY addresses.

The new update is awesome. It recognize the adresses. Works just like the website now.

Works perfect and smooth

I'm in Boston, but it keeps trying to confirm that my destination is in manhattan. nice try.

Try starting at the major hub that connects Long Island to New York, "Atlantic Ave and Flatbush Ave Brooklyn"? aka "the long island rail road". The largest commuter railroad in the United States of America! People complain. that Hopstop can't find you unless you live AT the subway stop. Well it appears to not do that well sometimes as well. Back to food old itrans. You have to do the work yourself if you don't know where the nearest subway is, bit you can easily find that on maps, which comes with your iPhone, then go to trans and map your route. It is a pain, but it is better than fumbling with Hopstop's inability to find major Intersections and landmarks, or parts of NYC boroughs. Seems to work better in Manhattan. Maybe the other 4 boroughs aren't relevent?? Needs much work. yes, itrans provides up to min subway alerts for all lines. I have no love for itrans, just noting the method I used before hopstop, and appears I still have to use. :(
