App needs to be updated to support new B line stops, Amory St and revised Babcock. BU West, Pleasant St and St. Paul Street stops no longer exist. ### 2/5 — Used to be great *2019-04-26, version 2.0* Doesn't work anymore. Not sure if the developer stopped supporting it or if it's a bug. ### 4/5 — Was great, stopped working *2019-01-12* Update please, this app no longer functions! It was great to know where the ever unreliable B line was... but now we are back to being in the dark. Will change rating if updated Update: seems to be working again but still in need of some updating. Has not had one in a long time ### 3/5 — Not enough updates, not accurate enough *2018-11-28* The app keeps crashing. Often times it’ll show the next terrain coming in 12 minutes and then all of a sudden I’ve missed three trains within the next 4 minutes. It doesn’t have frequent enough updates and the timings just aren’t accurate. If it says 1 minute til arrival I go outside and wait in the cold for at least 3. Would not use if I can find a better one soon. ### 3/5 — Usually pretty accurate time but missing stops *2018-11-15* There’s no Government Center stop here but it usually is pretty accurate with the timing except for a few missing trains in the system. ### 2/5 — Does this work anymore? *2018-08-25, version 2.0* Worked great for a while. Suddenly stopped working. Just refreshes over and over. Is this app dead? ### 4/5 — Good app! *2018-08-03* Very helpful app but could use an update now that Government Center is back open ### 3/5 — Keep getting error *2018-07-12* Hi I love your app but I have been getting an error message now for a few days “MBTA 2-d attempt HTTP Error 401: Not Authorized” please fix as I use this to get to work! Thanks! ### 2/5 — Great, but stopped working *2018-07-12, version 2.0* Title. This app was super helpful but stopped working recently. Hopefully it gets fixed soon and it’ll be five stars again. ### 4/5 — Works Pretty Well and Very Useful *2018-06-19* Obviously it's limited by the data that the MBTA supplies. Sometimes a trolley will not be sending GPS data, so it doesn't appear. Other times there will be mysterious delays in getting new data. And sometimes I get a mysterious error message and nothing shows up at all. My ding is that the tech support email doesn't always work -- mailbox full, I think. ### 3/5 — Government center station is not included *2018-06-12, version 2.0* Cmon guys construction stopped forever ago let’s get on it shall we ### 2/5 — Stopped working *2018-05-10* This app used to be very helpful, but for the past month or so it has been stuck on the loading screen and never shows any arrival times or even your location. ### 4/5 — Great app *2016-11-03* It would be great to display the next 2-3 trains in a given direction, for those of us with long walks to our stop. ### 4/5 — Good but could be better if *2016-02-04* The app is great it would be better if you added support so that you can add your stations/stops as well as your favorite branches of the green line ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was great, needs updating *2018-11-04* App won’t load. Was a great app at one time even to the point of being used by Green Line inspectors. But hasn’t worked in a while. I’ll update my rating if the app gets updated. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2018-08-20* Was great until the most recent update. Now it just spins for about five minutes and then gives an error message that data is not in the correct format. Update: seems they had it fixed for a short while but it’s back to just spinning endlessly, with not even an error message now. Useless. ### 1/5 — Greenline tracker is acting up and not accurate.. Wha *2018-07-13, version 2.0* Up with that?? Normally it great but tonight not working from Cleveland circle line.. Error message as well.. Need update this! ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2018-07-11, version 2.0* Gives some http not authorized error Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — What happened to this app? *2018-03-10, version 2.0* All it does is spin around and I haven’t been able to get info in months. ### 1/5 — Hasn’t been updated for 11.1 *2017-11-13, version 2.0* Hasn’t been updated for IOS 11.1, doesn’t work on the new IOS. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2016-01-27, version 2.0* This app doesn't work, it just gets stuck loading the map forever (tried updating the OS etc.). Don't waste the time downloading! ### 1/5 — Won't load at all *2015-12-24, version 1.2* My review is limited to the fact that it will not load. Will not work at all. ### 1/5 — No Longer Works *2015-12-09, version 1.2* This used to be a great app, but it hasn't worked on my phone since around September. It opens but never advanced past a blurry loading screen. I hoped that once I installed iOS 9 the app would work again, but unfortunately it still won't load. It's really too bad because this used to be the best MBTA Green Line tracker by far ### 1/5 — Was the best train app *2015-11-05, version 1.2* Not anymore. Crashes EVERY TIME with iOS 8.13 since updated. Still saving the app just to check if there's new update with problems fixed. So please 2015/11/5 I hate this but I just reviewed down to 1 star. So that maybe a lower rate can get your attention. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Extremely well done *2018-12-23* I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time and this is absolutely perfect. Kudos to the developer ### 5/5 — Works great! *2017-11-09, version 2.0* Use it every day. Please add Apple Watch support. ### 5/5 — Really clean interface!! *2016-10-12* Really convenient to use! ### 5/5 — Great for the green line! *2016-09-13* Great app for tracking the green line. Give this person a medal. All the other apps seemed to just forget about it, and this app came through with real time tracking! It uses the same info the MBTA uses, so sometimes the countdown isn't pinpoint accurate, but that's only because the trains themselves aren't running smoothly. ### 5/5 — Amazing !!! *2016-08-11* One of the few apps that I use and rely on daily. ### 5/5 — Finally!!! Give this developer a medal!!! *2016-06-08* Great so far!!! Just found the app yesterday and it has worked great. Slight lag time for the C-line, as far as when trains leave Cleveland circle. However, it seems to catch up a few stops inbound. Thanks again...keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-02-05* I don't use the train all that often but when I do I like to use this app. It's always pretty accurate! ### 5/5 — Great App *2016-01-28* This is the app that all green line commuters have been waiting for. Great idea, and perfect execution. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2016-01-26, version 2.0* Great app. ### 5/5 — Great! *2016-01-18* Green line is famous for old, slow, crowded, and a million of stops! But the worst is there no an app of living track tool! This one is really good! It is accurate and efficient! I am able to catch up the green line in time by using this app!
