Helpful to know of any disruptions

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.

Good for planning

Great for monitoring when your train departs. Lets you plan your time effectively

Take to long to work

Wtf Is this it’s

So disappointing

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.

Bring back my trip

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.

Dutch the colour palette

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.

Bring Back My Trip

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.

It does what it says on the tin

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.

Terrible update

The recent update has remove key features of the app like regular journeys. It’s now useless to me as it takes too long to load the relevant data once I’m in the city loop.

Bring back ‘my trip’

No longer able to get ETA at destination station, following a recent app update

Why did they change it?

I don’t know why they changed it? All the features that I liked, they got rid of.
I used to be able to save my route, the station where I get on, and the station where I get off. Now it gives me departing time for irrelevant lines.
Also, the train departing times used to be accurate, now they are consistently several minutes out.

Recent update is awful

Recently this app underwent an update. You can no longer filter by destination on a line. So you see every departure for multiple train lines that depart from the same platform.
An ‘improvement’ that has made the app less user friendly.

New update terrible

No way to quickly see departures from the favourite stations on your line.
Bring back “my trips” and don’t make me search through every line to find what I need

New update is so much worse

This new update is horrible. I can’t understand the new layout. Please change it back! :(

Update is awful

Please bring back my trips. Used to be able to toggle between my station and flinders depending on if I was going to work or coming home. Now with stations I need to click on flinders, then my line group and look for my line amongst the others that I don’t need. Much longer to work out next train time

Don’t show me pointless information

The updated design looks great, however if travelling from Caulfield on the Pakenham line (beyond Dandenong), showing me Cranbourne trains is no use to me.
I also frequently use the Craigeburn line from Flinders Street, however now I am shown Sunbury and Upfield departures.
In addition, whenever I click back on my favourite station of Flinders Street (to use a Craigeburn train) the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines come up, and I have to change back to the Northern Group lines to show Craigeburn trains.
Please fix this so I only see the lines needed.

Make work with iPads

Can you please make the app compatible with iPads

Unreliable

Doesn’t reflect delays or trains on time. Also differs from the PTV App

Poor notifications

The app has sent me over 30 notifications today advising the train line has buses replacing it. Every few hours I get two notifications. Who needs to see that 30 times!!!??

Annoying amount of notifications

Would be great to have an option to mute notifications on days you aren’t travelling, or at least reduce the frequency of notifications when something happens, it’s really annoying to receive 20+ notifications in the span of a few hours with the same information. Or at least an option to opt out of receiving more notifications about the same thing. I can’t keep notifications on for this app because of how many notifications it sends which kind of defeats its purpose
