HustleTime has seen some major improvements in the latest release. I am going to walk you through the newest feature: the ignore tab, so you can see it in action and it’s intended use case.
Let’s say you’re in the West Village and you need an uptown F train to Queens. Any of the other orange trains (the 
) won’t help you.
HustleTime, however, is only showing the next two trains on the track. Let’s highlight that station to bring it to the top.
Because we don’t care about the trains shown, let’s open up the menu to get to the ignore tab.
The default view is the favorite places, but by clicking the ignore symbol we can see all the train lines in the city. Something I’d still like to figure out is how to handle the 
lines. Currently the MTA groups the Franklin Avenue and Rockaway 
with the A/C/E lines, and the Grand Central-Times Square with the 1/2/3 line, so that’s how I’m laying them out here.
Now we can click on the lines we’d like to ignore. They’ll fade in opacity to indicate they’ve been ignored.
Selecting or de-selecting ignored trains will automatically update the arrival card (you can kinda see it behind the modal in the image above. But when we close it, we now see the desired trains.
We also notice that there’s a warning in the top left that lets the user know that she’s currently ignoring some trains.
In addition to the ignore feature, this update includes a number of other changes:
Major Changes:
- adds a menu button replacing the old open modal button
- adds tabs for favorite places and ignored trains
- allows users to select trains to ignore – these trains will not appear in arrival notifications
Minor Features:
- displays a warning if you are ignoring any train lines
Minor fixes:
- improved actual search radius to more closely match displayed radius
- added a few missing subway stations
- removed font scaling from arrival notifications for legibility
Thanks for using HustleTime. Android update soon to come!
