NextStop is an iPhone/iPod Touch app for New York City Subway riders who don’t like to waste a minute. At a quick glance, it tells you when the next train is scheduled to arrive based on your current location, selected station, or pre-defined favorites. With this information in hand, it’s easy to figure out the quickest route between point A and point B.
Please Note: Arrival times are based on MTA timetables, however trains sometimes run ahead or behind schedule, so please use information as general guidance only. For best results, make sure that your iPhone is set to "Set time automatically" (under Settings > General > Date & Time) and get to the station at least 2 minutes before your scheduled arrival.
NextStop is officially licensed by the MTA and all graphics are used with permission.

Great app but....
The timing is so bad at times it can be from 3-7minutes off at times especially at nigh time. Once they fix the timing the app is perfect for every real new Yorker to have
extremely inaccurate, fundamentally flawed
I would say this app is correct about 20% of the time. I assume it just goes off the mta's schedule and that the mta is off. but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
