Best morning upgrade

Literally a game changer for my morning. I live off the L and the countdown is spot on. No more sprinting to the platform just to miss the doors.

Perfect gift

Got this as a gift for my boyfriend who is obsessed with the subway system. He absolutely loves it. Setup was easy and he spent the whole night configuring his favorite lines.

Great display

Setup was pretty simple, connected to my wifi no problem. The display is bright and clear. Wish it showed 4 trains instead of 2, but for the price it's great.

Under 5 minute setup

The setup was shockingly easy. I'm not very technical, but I had it working in under 5 minutes. Now I check it every morning before I grab my coffee.

Solid device

Works great for the 4/5/6 lines. Had a small issue with wifi dropping initially but moved it closer to the router and it's been solid since.

Saves me in the basement

I live in a basement apartment with spotty cell service, so having this connected to WiFi to show train times is an absolute godsend.

The dark stain on the wood is really nice. It doesn't look like a cheap plastic gadget. It feels like a piece of furniture.
