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 ### 2/5 — Pay for use!? *2026-06-11, version 2026.30* This should absolutely be free of charge considering how poor website navigation is. ### 2/5 — Brutal!!!! *2026-05-28, version 2026.27* The number of times that I have gone to the incorrect platform because I was using this app….crazy. This week there was a huge issue at the track level and all trains were delayed, but did the app say anything at all? Nope - can’t believe I paid $40 for this!! Cancelled!!! ### 4/5 — Platform change *2026-05-23, version 2026.27* Sometimes platforms changes ### 1/5 — Don’t buy it *2026-01-27, version 11.7.2* Doesn’t show real time delays. Not worth the subscription. ### 1/5 — $25 fee just to track trains — really? *2026-01-21, version 11.7.2* $25 just to track trains—really? “Go Rider” is free and has a nice UI. I have no affiliation with them, just sharing some useful info. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2025-12-28, version 11.7.2* This info is available for free with a google search. ### 1/5 — $25 to view a schedule *2025-12-09, version 11.7.2* Are we fr rn? Why are we charging to look at a TRAIN SCHEDULE HELLO??? ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE FREE TRIAL *2025-11-18* Like the guy below, was also charged despite saying "It's only a free trial" **Developer response:** GoTrack offers one free trial per Apple ID. Apple, not GoTrack, controls eligibility and billing for all subscriptions and free trials. If you were charged, it means Apple determined that your account was not eligible for another free trial (for example, a trial was already used in the past). The app cannot override Apple’s billing system. ### 1/5 — Pay for Train Schedule is Wild *2025-10-27, version 11.5.1* How are you going to charge people to look at a schedule? Use ads like everyone else that’s so crazy. ### 1/5 — why is there paywall *2025-10-24, version 11.5.1* just tell me if i have to pay off rip, this type of app should not be payed, wasted my time to cancel my free trial ### 1/5 — $25 fee just to track trains — really? *2025-10-15, version 11.5.0* $25 fee just to track trains — really? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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 $40 towards Lumosity, Headspace, Spotify or any other app that adds value to your life. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate departure times *2026-04-30, version 2026.26* None of the train schedule was consistent with GO Trains actual schedule today. ### 1/5 — Making me pay *2026-04-15, version 2026.21* I thought this was a free app, but it won’t let me use it without paying for a subscription ### 1/5 — paywall *2026-02-18, version 11.7.2* App requires 3$ subscription and it locked behind it. Disappointed as a I would’ve used a free version with ads. App seemed to work perfectly for the 10 seconds I used it before the paywall popped up and couldn’t be closed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Solid and Very Reliable *2026-04-27, version 2026.24* This is such a solid, reliable app that has never let me down when it comes to taking the go. If you take the go, you’ll love this. ### 5/5 — Can’t imagine my commute without it. *2026-04-12* Been using this app for years to get to school and work and I’ve only seen it get better and better! I’m never going back to staring at the Union screens. **Developer response:** Thank you for your continued support! We'll keep working to make GoTrack even better for you. ### 5/5 — Reliable and Worth it! Use daily *2026-03-29, version 2026.12* Love the news update! Love how simple it is and can easily check my platform and when train is delayed. Been a subscriber for years and it’s totally worth the subscription to support an independent Toronto developer who’s fast to reply and always Improving his app. ### 5/5 — New update *2026-03-10, version 2026.6* The new update looks really good, thank you for improving this already amazing app. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-02-07, version 11.7.2* Easy to use and very accurate! Would highly recommend, overall app is amazing & very reliable ### 5/5 — Best in class *2025-11-24, version 11.7.1* Worth the money, it’s fast, reliable (including estimated time delays) and has a clean, user friendly interface. If you’re using GO in isolation and don’t require timing a connection with a different transit system, it’s perfect. ### 5/5 — Worth it! Use daily *2025-10-24, version 11.5.1* Use this app every day and love how simple and fast it is. Been a subscriber for years and it’s totally worth the small fee. ### 5/5 — Easy to use and just what I needed *2025-10-01, version 11.4.7* Happy paying customer here. This is a great application, easy to see when the next train is and flipping between different lines and directions. The only ask is to have a couple more favourites and/or make one off schedule look up easier. ### 5/5 — Nice and safe transportation! *2025-07-11, version 11.4.6* Very Helpful for travelling anytime. ### 5/5 — Super useful! *2025-03-15, version 11.4.0* This app is a gem! Use it everyday. Way easier than navigating the GO train website!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
