### 4/5 — Too few cars

*2026-07-16, version 2026.39*

Normally  I’m quite happy taking GO but in the past month it’s been ridiculous from/to Niagara- trains are packed - understandable during holidays but they should plan better- today 6 cars and we had to walk through all to find a seat - do better please

### 1/5 — Insane price hike

*2026-07-13, version 2026.39*

I used to buy the annual subscription but they pretty much doubled the price in one year! Not worth it anymore

### 2/5 — Paywalled

*2026-07-11*

I can no longer open the app, navigate anything, without the annoying subscribe pop-up wall in my face. I cannot dismiss it, I cannot navigate to my settings page/account page, funny, I cant even hit the "contact button" as there's no email setup, yet I can't set it up because of the subscribe pop-up wall...

It was great app until the subscription expired. No subscription, no app.. becomes useless

### 1/5 — Greedy developer

*2026-07-07, version 2026.39*

Absolutely greedy. When they started a few years ago, they charged a one time fee to download. After a while they changed to $18 a year, which is already ridiculous as I have never seen any apps doing this. Charged to download and then switched to subscription. And now they want to increase to $40. It’s not about the amount. I have a lot of $40, its the way how this is being managed. Deleted. There are other free apps out there and this is not any better.

### 1/5 — Pay to Use

*2026-07-07*

Ridiculous concept - eventually the app will paywall you so you can no longer use it unless you purchase a subscription. The app was freely working for a couple of weeks originally, and was optimized quite well, but now that it is no longer functional without a subscription I cannot recommend it and will be deleting. What a shame and ripoff!

### 1/5 — Free trial one use

*2026-06-28, version 2026.39*

They let you use the app once then you have to pay

### 1/5 — Forces paid subscription

*2026-06-20, version 2026.34*

So useless - it forces a paid subscription and doesn’t let you use it. Even if you pay it’s still not even good- it doesn’t account properly for delays and what new time the train will get there. Apple is literally better lol. 10 years ago GO transit had an amazing free app. This is garbage.

### 2/5 — Pay for use!?

*2026-06-11, version 2026.30*

This should absolutely be free of charge considering how poor website navigation is.

### 1/5 — Grossly stupid

*2026-06-11, version 2026.30*

I’ve wasted ten minutes trying to find the Barrie route without success

### 1/5 — Rip Off

*2026-06-06, version 2026.27*

App works fine, but doesn’t always provide the most timely updates. It’s alright. But this app used to be FREE. Then $7.99. Then $17.99. Renewal for this year is $39.99 lol.  Same product, same service, but more than double the price?? Go train times are available for free online. I didn’t mind paying for the convenience, but paying a $40 annual fee for info that is available for free is a joke. I’d recommend cancelling, bookmarking go train tracker website, and putting the $40 towards Lumosity, Headspace, Spotify or any other app that adds value to your life.
