App is designed as though their product development team has never seen an app before. You have to know the locations of each BART station in order to find information on them because the map will only show a pin for a currently selected station. You can't move the map and find nearby locations. The app team responds to reviewers saying they're using the app wrong instead of using the feedback to improve.

Thanks for sharing this helpful feedback about the map and wanting to be able to move the map around and see where other stations are on the BART lines. We will share this request with the app team. Thanks for taking the time to provide the review.

I set the app up, and the next time I needed it, the pay-for-parking option was gone. Reinstalling did nothing. Apparently BART is using this to set us up for parking tickets. Serves me right for trusting an organization which in every other way shows how much it despises its ridership.

The parking payment feature doesn't show during periods parking is free (weekends and after 3pm on weekdays).

It works .. but it definitely doesn't make it easy. Bare bones with limited functionality. Trip Planner has issues. Why does it keep resetting date/time from my settings to "NOW". I am attempt to plan a trip, why do you keep resetting the date/time I am planning around. Should also be able to check for earlier/later trains either by scrolling or pushing a button. Now I have to go into the planner and basically guess with a new time and hope I get a later train.

There are "earlier" and "later" features in the Trip Planner results. Or you can easily change the time and date in the Plan Trip section at the top of the screen. These are both available without having to go to a new screen.
