If you prefer the old behavior, tap the "more" menu (the three dots on the top right of the screen showing all trips on your route) and choose "more settings".

2.11.0 2019-04-29
The app now displays an "unknown" status instead of "on time" if a train is underway but its GPS is not reporting. We don't know that these trains are on time so we're no longer going to assume it is.

We're also trying to be smarter about detecting bad GPS data. Sometimes trains will report themselves to be 20+ minutes late when they're actually on time. If a train shows signs of this happening we'll let you know that we think something's wrong with the GPS transmission.

This release also contains a few bug fixes:

- Fixed a bug that prevented the Routes and Departures tab from automatically updating when resuming the app from the background
- Fixed a bug on the Schedule view that prevented the "minutes away" prediction from updating properly
- Fixed a bug that caused times in the Departures tab to be a minute or two off
- Fixed a bug that prevented route-wide delay or cancellation alerts from prominently displaying in the app
- Fixed a bug where tapping on a trip would sometimes expand the wrong one
2.10.0 2019-03-31
Added support for Back Bay Station in the Departures tab
2.9.1 2019-03-20
Added comment bubbles next to each trip that has report(s). Click on the bubble to go directly to the reports screen instead of tapping into the trip first.
2.7.0 2019-03-06
This update focuses on improving the passenger reports feature:

- Each user is now assigned a random avatar. This helps identify posts from the same anonymous author and prevents users from impersonating other users. Avatars cannot be changed.
- You can now react to posts with emojis. If a poster gave bad info, react with a thumbs down. If a poster gave good or helpful info, react with a thumbs up or pray emoji.
- Press the "more" button on the top right of a post and tap "Posts by this user" to only see all reports authored by that passenger.

Don't forget, you can flag inappropriate posts by tapping the "more" button next to a post and choosing the "Report to admin" button. Posts that are reported by multiple users are automatically deleted.

I hope this is a positive quality of life update for everyone who depends on crowd-sourced info. Thanks again for using the app!
2.6.0 2019-02-19
- Bug fixes, particularly for iPhone X/XS devices
- When a train is delayed past it's scheduled arrival time at its final destination, and the train stops reporting its GPS location, we'll now attempt to keep the train listed in the app instead of assuming it's arrived at its final destination.

- New: improved support for Back Bay Station. You'll now see boarding statuses and track numbers for trips that stop at Back Bay.

When the MBTA's primary sources of real-time data are unavailable, the app will now fallback to using an older source of information. It's not quite as accurate as the primary sources, but it is good enough to give you a general idea of where your train is, and we will let you know when the accuracy might be questionable.
