### 3/5 — Needs update

*2025-04-26, version 2.9.14*

This app doesn’t look like it’s been updated in over a decade. A glitch makes the bar at the top move around and covers half the information. 

I thought I might be able to use it for tickets but it doesn’t do that.

### 4/5 — Latest GO schedule downloading error w/o 3/31/25

*2025-03-31, version 2.9.14*

Great, but latest schedule is not downloading

### 2/5 — Late trains

*2025-01-08, version 2.9.14*

Would be great to know if trains were late.

### 4/5 — Status page broken

*2024-03-20, version 2.9.7*

Recent updates has left the status page broken, please fix.

### 3/5 — Great app

*2023-09-06, version 2.9.6*

Nice app. My only complaint is that the train platform isn’t available ahead of time.

### 1/5 — Lack of details

*2023-07-05, version 2.9.6*

Miss the feature from on old App that would list all the trains on a line and list Express and non-Express

### 1/5 — User-hostile

*2023-01-26, version 2.9.6*

Mainly want to use the plain vanilla schedule. Frustrating to just find it among the other useless “features”

### 5/5 — Essential

*2022-12-30, version 2.9*

This app is essential if you use GO Trains regularly- or irregularly.  It’s astonishing that GO doesn’t provide a schedule app, but this does very nicely. The interface gets better every year.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2022-09-25, version 2.8*

Used to use it throughout my uni years, was incredibly helpful. No longer works, you cannot select the correct platform to check the info of. Not worth it.

### 5/5 — Scam Alert. Do not download/pay for this app

*2022-08-25, version 2.8*

Last updated Sept 2021. Should be removed from App Store

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2026-06-07, version 2.9.15*

Staff not helpful in redirecting passengers heading west towards Hamilton

### 1/5 — Schedule doesn’t exist

*2026-05-03, version 2.9.15*

I’m at the bus stop right now waiting for the next bus because the bus that was supposed to leave 7 minutes ago according to the app doesn’t actually exist.

### 1/5 — The Toronto Go App: A Living Fossil

*2026-01-23, version 2.9.15*

The Toronto go app feels like it was built by a dinosaur and never updated since. Clunky UI, buried information, and basic tasks that somehow take too many steps. 

This isn’t complex tech. It’s schedules and tickets. Any developer could rebuild this quickly, which makes you wonder where the money is actually going because it’s clearly not going into user experience.

Sadly, it perfectly reflects our public transit infrastructure: outdated, frustrating, and seemingly immune to improvement.

### 1/5 — False times

*2025-12-12, version 2.9.14*

Waiting an extra hour in winter because no train showed up

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-03-31, version 2.9.14*

Fix schedule update

### 1/5 — Bus Departures?

*2024-10-14, version 2.9.12*

Where is the bus departure information, especially from Union Station?!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-05-28, version 2.9.9*

Was great for a while, but it’s stopped working. App has notification that it needs to update schedule, but schedule doesn’t update. Currently displaying the wrong departure last from Union Station. Needs to be fixed and updated.

### 1/5 — Won’t update

*2024-04-30, version 2.9.8*

Can’t update schedule, can’t go past April 26 2024.

### 1/5 — Another horrible GO app

*2024-02-13, version 2.9.6*

It will not get off of April 7th 2023, even though it is Feb 2024.

### 1/5 — Unreliable!

*2023-10-03, version 2.9.6*

Alway late and service is very slow. Also frequency of trains is very bad. Same service level on weekdays from the 1990’s

### 5/5 — Literally the best GO app

*2026-04-16, version 2.9.15*

To think I downloaded this 15 or more years ago and Metrolinx still hasn’t done any better with providing proper schedules… I literally could not travel without this app. The official website is useless.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2025-12-27, version 2.9.15*

Keep up the great work team!!

### 5/5 — Awesome For Years

*2025-11-11, version 2.9.14*

This apps been my go to for go train schedule for as long as I can remember. Simple and effective.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-11-09, version 2.9.13*

Use whenever I go to Toronto for bus and train.
Still think they should sell the tones on the train in iTunes 
I use them for when I get a text

### 5/5 — Works great

*2024-09-30*

Every time i use it works great but i suggested before they should sell the tones in app store i use them as text message alerts

### 5/5 — About a decade of use

*2024-09-29, version 2.9.12*

Always reliable. Always handy.

### 5/5 — Thanks for the app

*2024-05-21, version 2.9.9*

My daily go-to

### 5/5 — Great for GO train users

*2024-03-07, version 2.9.7*

This app is perfect for GO train clients. It’s fast and easy to use. It keeps up with the frequent schedule changes.

### 5/5 — App not working

*2024-01-04, version 2.9.6*

Loved this app however it hasn’t been working for a few days. Won’t update

### 5/5 — My go to app for a few years now!

*2022-12-31, version 2.9.6*

Been using it when I had my iPhone X, and now on the iPhone 14 pro and the app is still amazing and just works! Especially when you have to quickly find bus/train times.
