### 3/5 — Needs update really badly !

*2025-11-09, version 1.3*

Out of date. Line 3 has been shut down for a year plus.  Being mobility challenged elevator locations need much better location identification. A legend as to what   is shown on subway platforms!

### 4/5 — Great app, but badly needs an update

*2024-11-21, version 1.3*

Great app that has saved us time a million times. However, an update is long due. Many stations that previously were not accessible are now accessible, and line 3 doesn’t exist anymore. The entire community will benefit with an update.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2023-06-22, version 1.3*

I’ve lived in Toronto all my life and except for maybe 4 or 5 stations I never knew where the exit stairs/escalators were - I simply never tried to learn where they were!  I cycle, walk or take TTC, this app saves a couple of minutes getting off at the right place.  A simple but super helpful app that doesn’t require Internet.  
Thank you!  Easy to give 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2019-07-22, version 1.2*

This app really helps you save time connecting on the TTC. Well done.

### 2/5 — Not enough elevator info

*2018-09-18, version 1.2*

I was really hoping that this app would help me figure out where the elevators are on the platforms, but the info was either not up-to-date or non-existent for most of the stations for most of the stations that I checked. Am I missing something?

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-05-08, version 1.1*

Based on ttcrider.ca this app shows you where the platforms and stairs, elevators, etc are inside each subway station!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-12-20, version 1.1*

Thank you for the update! This is a handy app whether you live in Toronto or are visiting.

### 5/5 — Extremely Useful Time Saver

*2017-11-19, version 1.0.4*

Thanks so much for this app. I use it whenever I’m going to a station I don’t visit often. The maps are clear and let you plan in advance where to stand on the platform.

### 5/5 — The paper version was great. This is really handy.

*2013-08-02, version 1.0.0*

I had the original paper version (TTC Subway Rider Efficiency Guide - ttcrider.ca) and used it a lot. I always wanted an iOS version. Thanks for making this!

### 5/5 — The book was handy - this is awesome

*2013-06-26, version 1.0.0*

Nice job!!! A must for every straphanger. Well laid out, fast.
