Where do I see bookmarked stations?
App looks great and I appreciate the lack of ads, the only thing missing is a tab at the bottom to quickly look at your bookmarks instead of looking through the nearby stops

Needs Work
This app needs a lot of work to be useful. For starters - the inability to filter out only the routes I use is a problem - sure it’s nice to see everything when I’m in a different location - but day to day I want to see only my bus and metro route. I also can’t seem to favorite stops and see only those stops. Again, I don’t need to see arrivals for every bus. For stops at the beginning/end of line - it’s only showing data for one direction. I need the ability to switch from North to South (for example on the A27 at Pentagon). For metro - just copy what Metro Hero is doing. It’s so much better.
