### 1/5 — Very poor

*2023-01-30*

Adverts, which they’ll make go away for a modest fee.  Good to see our tax paying pounds hard at work!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-07-27*

No timetable

### 1/5 — Bad review

*2020-11-26*

Its not understandable!!
What is the work of this app

### 1/5 — Very poor!

*2019-12-02*

Waited ages for this to be updated and all it does is show a route, no times, no live travel data, just a glorified paper time table.
I thought the official one was bad until I saw this. The official one has now been updated, no charge, times visible, although not live is still far better that this.

They seem to have spent more time on the start up splash screen that on the rest of the app, well worked, perhaps getting out more and using it in the real world to experience the issues rather than sit in your bedroom and think it’s ace! 

To think I subscribed.......☹️😠😡

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Utter rubbish

*2024-03-02*

This app does not tell you the time Metros are due at a station and keeps popping up ads that you cannot close - utter rubbish

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2023-09-14*

Not worth bothering with

### 1/5 — No way to get metro times

*2023-08-31*

I can’t find a way to just get metro times? Which feels essential - hope they look into this

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-05-19*

Rubbish

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2023-04-26*

No time available - not helpful at all

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2023-04-22*

Not very good.

### 1/5 — Poor GUI

*2023-03-07*

Really poor awful to use arrive by

### 1/5 — Why change it!

*2023-02-14*

The previous METRO app was perfect. I was able to check when the next train is due, before I set off to the station. Now I can’t. Useless app. If I could give it -1 star I would. 
This purely a money making change!

### 1/5 — Poor replacement app

*2023-01-31*

Adverts and ££ upgrade but no Journey Planner or Service updates

### 1/5 — Why change the Metro App???

*2023-01-31*

New app is awful. Not user friendly either

LAFFIN

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2019-10-25*

Really useful app for helping get around Newcastle as quick as possible. Great app 😎

### 5/5 — Fantastic Update!

*2019-10-23*

Wow this app for Tyne and Wear Metro is now super cool 😎 fantastic update, thanks Guys for making my commute a little less painful 👍🚊

### 2/5 — Very basic

*2023-06-29*

This is far too basic to be considered as an app.  I’d hoped to be able to see ticket fares etc to really plan my journey not just see the stations that I know I’ll be travelling from and to…

### 2/5 — Limited functionality makes this fairly pointless.

*2023-02-19*

This app is an interactive map of the metro. Nothing more, nothing less. When compared to CityMapper (which integrates live bus, tube and tram times, as well as walking distances, ticket costs, ongoing traffic/engineering work disruption) this app is incredibly limited. For regular users of the T&W Metro, it is really not a complicated system to use when compared to TFL and as such this app doesn’t really serve a purpose. What *would* make it useful is integrating live metro times (taking account of any disruption) so users can better plan their trip. This data is widely available so why not include it?
