The new updated app is, unfortunately, nowhere near as good as the previous version and, in all honesty, not sure why there needed to be an update. UI is much more cumbersome, data is almost always inaccurate, and always asks for location data which is unnecessary. Think the MTA wanted to make this more robust and do much more than it really needed to... Bring back the old version, please. It was simple and did what we needed it to do and did it well.

Latest version (3/2024) is bloated, more frustrating to use and kills the battery. Used to be able to easily save favorites by train line and direction and see arrival times across multiple stations and bus stops at the same time in order to make connections. Now can only see one station at a time with all lines and directions showing mixed up in one place. Expected arrival time no longer shows up by default and time until arrival is inaccurate, as "arriving now" can mean several minutes away.

Works great as a map, not as good as a bus tracker. Choosing a route doesn't show a live feed on where your bus is anymore, choosing a stop will but you lose information like where other stops are. I haven't found a way to favorite stops. Planning my way there is going to be a lot easier with how much information on the busses and trains there is frontloaded but use during transit is going to take a swan dive.
