### 1/5 — Abandoned?

*2023-05-04, version 2.2.2*

Stations, alerts, and accessibility tabs spin endlessly without populating anything. App appears non-functional.

**Developer response:** Hello, the app is not abandoned. There may have been a temporary issue at the time. We have a new version available which works much better than the one you were running. I hope you will update and try out the app again. If so, leave me an updated review to tell me your thoughts 😀

### 1/5 — Great potential and design, but inaccurate information.

*2022-11-28, version 2.2.2*

The app looks aesthetically great, but the times on the schedules are not up to date per current posted schedule and provide inaccurate information.

**Developer response:** Hi Mcmcowboyfan. This app gets schedule data directly from PATCO. This is true of Apple Maps and Google Maps as well. At the present time, PATCO hasn’t updated the data to use the new schedule. We have repeatedly requested them to update it. Until then, you may find the schedule off by no more than a few minutes. An alert was posted in the app about this. We hope you can reconsider your review.

### 5/5 — Literally my companion

*2022-06-26, version 2.1.0*

This app makes updates and schedule viewing easy and convenient!

**Developer response:** I’m happy to hear you’re still enjoying the app. Thank you for using PATCO Companion!

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2022-03-29, version 2.0.3*

Been using Patco for years nothing to give me a reason to complain.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review and for using my app!

### 5/5 — Saved the day!

*2021-10-11, version 2.0.1*

I was running late for a job interview. Patco Companion helped me reach my destination with accuracy and time to spare! Thank you Mr. Patco Companion owner! 😊

**Developer response:** I’m glad you find it useful. Thanks for using PATCO Companion!

### 5/5 — Effective

*2021-10-08, version 2.0.1*

Efficient and reliable.  Great assistance!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words and thanks for using PATCO Companion!

### 5/5 — PATCO’s must have!

*2021-06-13, version 1.3.1*

The design is simple and it’s so easy to navigate. The elevator and escalator alerts are a category that all transportation apps should have. It keeps you from wasting time by walking to escalators or elevators that may not be working. This app is something all individuals who ride PATCO need! Make your own life easier and hit that download button :)

### 5/5 — Perfect companion 🙌

*2021-06-11, version 1.3.1*

I’m still pretty new to the area so having this app is helping me get around easier, it has really cool features and lets me know of alerts and changes, 5/5!

### 5/5 — Favorite Patco App!

*2021-05-25, version 1.2*

This app is reliable and easy to navigate! It updates in real-time so I can be prepared for delays when I’m on the go. Super convenient :)

**Developer response:** I’m glad you’re enjoying the app. Thanks for using PATCO Companion!
