## What is ETA?

** ETA supports the latest iOS and watchOS features including informative iOS Home Screen widgets and powerful complications for your Apple Watch watch face. With ETA you'll always know how long it'll take to get to your destination. **

ETA instantly shows travel time (including support for driving, public transit*, cycling* and walking) to your favourite places. When driving, ETA also supplies traffic information that details any delays on your route.

## The only app that provides driving times and traffic information on your iPhone Home Screen ##
Our thoughtfully designed iOS Home Screen widgets will keep you informed of the travel and traffic situation without you needing to open the app. The calendar widget automatically retrieves your appointments so you know when best to leave to arrive on time. In line with Apple's guidelines our Home Screen widgets update at regular intervals during the day.

## The only app that shows driving time on your watch face ##
You can rely on ETA to show you travel time on the watch face of your Apple Watch. Whether you travel by car, bike, public transit or foot, ETA will update in the background and show you an updated travel time as you move. ETA adheres to Apple's guidelines and updates at minimum every 15 minutes ensuring your watch face displays current travel time and traffic conditions.

## The only app that gives you travel time to meetings and appointments in one place ##
ETA's 'set and forget' calendar functionality is a must have to keep you on time for your appointments and meetings. Once setup, ETA automatically monitors your calendar (securely and privately on your device) and displays travel time and traffic conditions for your upcoming events. This is available across our apps on iOS and Apple Watch, on your Apple Watch watch face as well in widgets on your iPhone Home Screen and Today View.

## Five star support
ETA is backed by our great support to help you get the most from the app. Browse our knowledgeable or reach out to one of our friendly support members. We're here for you whether you have a simple question or need a helping hand getting the best from a feature.

### 5/5 — Excellent app and developer

*2026-06-12, version 2.8.0*

Great app for anyone who travels to places more than once! Sweet feature lets you see the ETA’s of all your saved locations. I fly drones and this helps determine where to travel based on traffic, etc. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — App comes in handy and gets better with each update

*2026-03-03*

I am hearing of new updates in the works for months to help alleviate the 12 etas limitation within widget. We will now have folders for better organization. 

With that new update we have been told that we will be able to openly communicate with support through application. 

Also, when u click on a location it gives you three travel options, not sure how u can select which option you want to choose or if it just automatically picks the shortest one. Can we select which route we want to take ? 

Would also love option to sort by distance from your current location when looking at a list.

Can you please share ETA (HaHa) on when this new version will be released or if a test flight version will be released. Thanks.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review and for the feedback. Apologies for not being as responsive as we should on X and email. Our inbox is overflowing with users thinking our we manage visa applications for the UK (for the country's Electronic Transit Authorisation) and we get 100s of these a day. This sadly has made responding almost impossible. We do have a new version coming and with that we'll move our support into the app. In the meantime communicating via this review system is probably the easiest :)

To your questions - yes lists/folders are coming as is the ability to order via distance. CarPlay has been hugely successful for us and we want to add more to that experience too. Thanks so much for your support.

### 5/5 — App comes in handy and gets better with each update

*2026-02-08, version 2.8.0*

Please provide an avenue for communication with your customers as emails go unanswered and you haven’t been live on X. Happy to hear in one of the review reply’s you mentioned categorization is coming, I assume through folders. Hopefully this will assist with CarPlay’s current limitation of 12 items. Also, when u click on a location it gives you three travel options, not sure how u can select which option you want to choose or if it just automatically picks the shortest one. Would also love option to sort by distance from you when looking at a list.

### 4/5 — Great. Curious widget choice

*2025-12-06, version 2.8.0*

The app is great at its core function. I find it strange that you don’t have a widget like the larger “Directions” widget that shows travel time to multiple places instead of distance. The app is called ETA and is all about time but you focus on distance?! Just an odd decision that’s all

### 1/5 — App Broken

*2025-12-03, version 2.8.0*

Setting up a commute widget on iPhone causes crash and Apple watch widget displays incorrect travel times or doesn’t even work. Pls fix.

### 4/5 — Super App

*2025-10-08*

Super App. Nach dem letzten Update können auch andere Apps für die Navigation ausgewählt werden. Schön wäre es, wenn hier auch Sygic verwendet werden könnte.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for your review. Sadly lots of third party mapping apps have removed support for URL Schemes which is the technology we use to activate directions. We're in the process of updating our approach to hopefully provide more support. One option we're looking at is better integration with the Shortcuts app to give you the user better control of where you get your directions.

--- Auto Translate ---
Hallo, danke für Ihre Bewertung. Leider haben viele Karten-Apps von Drittanbietern die Unterstützung für URL-Schemata eingestellt. Dies ist die Technologie, die wir zum Aktivieren von Wegbeschreibungen verwenden. Wir sind dabei, unseren Ansatz zu aktualisieren, um hoffentlich mehr Unterstützung zu bieten. Eine Option, die wir prüfen, ist eine bessere Integration mit der Shortcuts-App, um Ihnen als Benutzer eine bessere Kontrolle darüber zu geben, woher Sie Ihre Wegbeschreibungen beziehen.

### 3/5 — Want To Love But…

*2025-10-02, version 2.8.0*

The idea is great. It’s like having geographic bookmarks for your car, with traffic factored in. And no data collection is a *huge* plus in my book. However, the integration with navigation apps other than Apple Maps does not work. Other choices are unclickable. Heck, as I discovered today, even the Leave A Review link doesn’t seem to work. And to top it off, emails for help have gone unanswered. Sad.

### 3/5 — It I a great app, but…

*2025-09-27, version 2.8.0*

I use this app diligently when traveling for work. Always adding my hotel, job site, and airport to make it super simple to get to where I need to be in an unfamiliar city. Is there a limit of destinations on apple CarPlay? Only had of them display there. I wish I could view all of them to make it super simple when driving.

### 1/5 — Unable to import locations

*2025-09-25, version 2.8.0*

I'm unable to import locations from my iPhone app running on ios 26 onto my Apple Watch SE 2, running Watch OS 26.  Whenever I try to do that, the screen shows as loading and never completes. Please fix this issue asap. 

When I try creating locations manually on my Apple Watch, the ETA predictions differ widely from the iPhone and doesn't show the most up to date eta, which defeats the purpose of having a watch face.

### 3/5 — Good: but a question remains

*2025-08-31, version 2.7.8*

A useful little app that perhaps doesn’t get the publicity it deserves. 

One thing which irritates is the seeming inability to alter the order of one’s chosen destinations. 

They can be deleted, yes. But if you add a new one, however important it is to you and no matter how well used, it still goes to the bottom end of your list. 

I’ve raised this point with the developer but didn’t even receive the courtesy of a response. 

Has anyone found a way to alter the order in which destinations appear?
