### 4/5 — Should be part of a sat nav.

*2023-10-10, version 1.6.0*

Everything nice and working perfectly. 
However would be even better if u could plan your journey to avoid the congestion charge zone. Or if u would be able to see if your journey plan going across the zone or not. Like this u need to jump to the Google Map and back to this app to see if your journey is touching the zone. 
But is helpful as I can see if an address is in the zone or out. 
But as I'm mentioned the best best thing would be if this future would be part of a map. And u continuously see where is the zone and where are u. 
That would be really helpful.
Thanks a lot guy anyway. This is a great product already.

### 1/5 — Me

*2023-09-01, version 1.6.0*

Khan is complete lying fool.
I wish I could really say what I think about him and his lies……..

### 1/5 — Sent me a fine and I don’t use this service

*2023-06-25, version 1.6.0*

I was fined for having this app, threatened with bailiff action so paid, as no mechanism to cancel, rip off Britain and a rip of London mare!

### 4/5 — Hope we can see as we get charged

*2023-04-30, version 1.5*

Hope we can see as we get charged

### 1/5 — TfL are so Greedy

*2023-01-14, version 1.5*

Hi , I totally don’t understand this tfl wekup over night change those signs across the London , then  if someone those not pay attention, will issue the ticket , I saw some streets signs wich those not make any sens , are idiotic to see those useless signs, then I saw olso the mini roundabout next to each other, this who ever makes those signs and roundabout next to each others must be smoking crack.  I’m not supporting this tfl couse are reaping the hard working  people apart , enough is enough.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-09-13, version 1.5*

Totally unable to use this app to find the limits of the zones which I would have thought should be on the first page!

### 2/5 — Auto zoom annoying.

*2022-06-25, version 1.5*

Auto zoom annoying.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-06-19, version 1.5*

Trying to pay through Dartfotd tunnel.Ugh!

### 4/5 — ULEZ

*2022-04-14, version 1.5*

Can you tell me if the App is now updated for ULEZ

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2021-11-13, version 1.2.3607*

More work needs to be done on this app...I was close to the congestion charge... The as app reported I was close..next minute says I have just entered the congestion charge zone. Thank God I had my eyes peeled to really see where I am and all the signs. It would be nice if there is a log of when one entered the CCZ

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-10-24, version 1.2.3607*

Doesn’t tell you if you’ve entered the zone
Tells you no charge after you’ve gone into the zone twice. Good thing it’s free 
So nooo star’s ok 1 star in order send review 
Rubbish

### 2/5 — I just want to pay! Take me there…. Just NOT obvious

*2021-10-12, version 1.2.3607*

### 1/5 — Con Merchants

*2026-06-08, version 1.7.0*

More cameras need to be pulled down. Charge the elite

### 1/5 — No info

*2025-11-10, version 1.7.0*

What car and what card. As a 82 year old I expect help and transparency. I sir right?

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-02-26, version 1.7.0*

Really awful app. Doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-02-17, version 1.7.0*

No good service

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-10-30, version 1.6.0*

Useless app. If you want to see if you’re entering the zone, you need to keep open always. So for sat nav you need another phone!

### 1/5 — Dreadful app

*2024-05-07, version 1.6.0*

The app constantly reverts you to your current location on the map whenever you return to it. So, if you’re jumping between this app and another mapping app this behaviour can be quite extremely annoying. It still does it when you have selected to pause tracking of your location. There is no search function within the app!

### 1/5 — mr munro

*2023-11-17, version 1.6.0*

not too easy to use

### 1/5 — Couldn’t find a way to avoid a £2.99 a month cost just to pay ULEZ!

*2023-11-01, version 1.6.0*

My son’s car (low polluting classic Mini) triggered ULEZ He spent 10 minutes unsuccessfully trying to access his TfL account. After my attempt to access mine via browser was refused (it accepted the I d Code (why a code? Why not email address?) But told me my password had been used showing I was inputting right data) by changing password I got into my account. But I couldn’t find a way to make a one time, not auto pay payment. To avoid browser hassles I thought I’d use this App to pay. But it wants to charge me to do it! TfL = total rip off

### 1/5 — Not very clear

*2023-10-04, version 1.6.0*

Not good

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-09-04, version 1.6.0*

I just can’t get on with this app, it might just be me, but I’ve given up trying to use it.

### 5/5 — Add more features please

*2022-05-18, version 1.5*

Excellent app. Makes my trips to London so much easier.
Please add more features like the ULEZ check as well as Birmingham and Manchester maps. It would benefit us Field people.

### 5/5 — ULEZ should be included

*2021-12-24, version 1.3.4350*

I've had this app for years, such a good app if only they added ULEZ to it it'll be perfect. I've been waiting for that since it was released

UPDATE: Now that it's going to be released in January 2022, I can recommend this even more. Thanks guys for listening 🙌🏽

### 5/5 — I hate to pay

*2020-07-11, version 1.1*

I hate to pay but it’s day light robbery for minacab to pay

### 5/5 — Luka

*2018-10-24, version 1.1*

Great app thank you

### 4/5 — Enable landscape mode for iPads

*2024-06-17, version 1.6.0*

Great app however the lack of landscape mode for the app completely ruins the experience on iPads.
I want to be able to have my normal maps with this alongside but because it’s portrait only it default the orientation of the screen.
