Great app
Too many ads and all of the features are now locked behind a paywall
Response from developer
This review seems to be spam: there are 0 adverts (and never have been). Not everything is locked, it's a freemium app (part free, part paid).
Paygate relaxed, but still
I’d be willing to pay for a pro subscription, but £78/year for a handful of API calls is daylight robbery. Sorry.
Response from developer
Update: As of v2.0.0 it is no more 'paygated' than it was in the earliest version (v1.0.0). --- Hi there, thanks for your feedback but it was never free, it has always been freemium (part free, part paid -- with a free trial). You may have got confused by a cosmetic UI change where lock icons were added. Our math-powered statuses are available for FREE for all lines in the app (and all the information on the official TfL status page is there for free as well). You also get partial access to some pro features for FREE for some lines every day. If you want full access to all pro features you need a subscription. As mentioned: It has always been a freemium app that can be used with or without a subscription. There is also a free trial available for the pro subscription and the app has no ads.
Accurate!
Status is not available free
Response from developer
Hi there, Actually you seem to be mistaken – you can view both the official TfL status and our math-powered statuses for free for all lines. The app uses both publicly available data and proprietary data (i.e. not just publicly available data). The app has always been freemium (part free, part paid) -- you can use the free version forever no problem if you don't want the advanced Pro features. The app's most advanced features are designed to help you 'upgrade your commute' and are therefore paid features.
Really good app for London Commuters
What sets True Tube Status apart from other similar apps is its user-friendly interface and real-time updates. The app is incredibly intuitive and easy to use, and I've found that the information provided is very helpful.
I'm also excited to see the upcoming updates and new features that the team has planned. If you're a London commuter like me, I highly recommend giving True Tube Status a try. It's a great app for staying on top of your daily journey!
Avoid
Response from developer
Update: As of v2.1.0 those Pro features can be accessed using low cost pay-as-you-go options. (Further update: 0 people bought the pay-as-you-go alternative so it has been removed in v2.1.9 -- can't say I didn't try!) -- Thanks for your feedback. For full access a Pro subscription is required. You can try it for free on the 7-day free trial. If that isn't for you, you can always use the free features without a subscription. There's no advertising for free or Pro users.
Why didn’t TfL think of this?
Have been looking for this for years
