No feedback option in app either ### 1/5 — Unreliable , inaccurate information and times *2026-07-27* Can’t be trusted and times inaccurate. Always have problems with opening the application. I wouldn’t give even one star if I could ### 4/5 — Helpful to know of any disruptions *2026-06-11* The app is nice and simple to use with helpful alerts and customisation for travelling times to choose from. However, there’s an issue where you get 7-8 alerts for the same disruption on iPhone. ### 5/5 — Good for planning *2026-04-13, version 4.1.0* Great for monitoring when your train departs. Lets you plan your time effectively ### 2/5 — Take to long to work *2026-03-22, version 4.0.6* Wtf Is this it’s ### 1/5 — So disappointing *2026-02-09, version 4.0.5* Live times always wrong and still not updated to reflect new stopping patterns after the metro tunnel made changes to my line. Couldn’t be more disappointed at how poor this app has always been and continues to be. ### 1/5 — Bring back my trip *2025-12-08, version 4.0.5* If you want irrelevant information not related to your daily commute. This app is for you. What was once a simple and helpful app showing just enough for a quick view of when the next few services were running is now over complicated with more clicks needed to show less information. Gotta hand it to the dev team that clearly have not used this app in the real world. ### 2/5 — Dutch the colour palette *2025-12-03, version 4.0.4* This was a useful and convenient app until some muppet decided to colour code the lines as well as the status. Now you have lines coloured red when their status is green, and lines coloured green when their status might be black. Ditch the line colours and go back to having the lines in alpha order. If people can figure out how to download the app in the first place they can certainly figure out which line they travel on. ### 1/5 — Bring Back My Trip *2025-12-02, version 4.0.4* Not sure why remove a useful feature? What I used to know just by opening the app, is now a multi-step workaround. Please bring back My Trips feature. ### 4/5 — It does what it says on the tin *2025-11-27, version 4.0.3* I know, I’m as shocked as anyone to be leaving a Metro app positive reviews, but this app does exactly what I need it to do. I get an update every morning for my line and get “Notified” (get it) of delays. This isn’t a journey planner. If you want that, get the PTV app or Citymapper. What this is, though, is a very useful tool for daily commuters. ## Frequently asked questions about metroNotify ### What does metroNotify do?
