User reviews

Long Load Times, No Service Alerts Anymore

Was once extremely useful, but recently has been incredibly slow. At one point this app would have up to date service alerts for delays and cancellations but that stopped months ago. It takes 5 minutes to pull the schedule up now.

Slow and now inaccurate

If you need a quick look to check an arrival time so you can reserve an uber you may have to head elsewhere, not that there is anywhere to go, Metra’s train tracker is awful. Recently slow to load or not loading at all. And now 10 minutes off for one departure.

Not Working

This is a very reliable and trusty app I’ve used for years, but is currently not loading any information.

Great app, but exclusive

I’ve been using this app for well over 5 years now and it has saved me on multiple occasions when finding a ride home but it is rather disappointing to find out that this app isn’t available on android when I switch over from iPhone to a Z Fold. For such a great app that’s been around for quite a while you would think it would be on all platforms.
