### 3/5 — No Elizabeth line data

*2026-05-07, version 1.14.3*

Elizabeth line still not showing in 3d station maps.

### 5/5 — station missing

*2025-04-11, version 1.14.3*

hackney downs station is missing a crucial interchange point with 4 platforms

### 3/5 — Info is incomplete

*2025-02-04, version 1.14.3*

There are I think only 5 Elizabeth line station maps. Such maps are to some essential.

### 1/5 — Appalling. Out of date and overpriced

*2024-10-20, version 1.14.3*

Totally out of date, no Elizabeth line on 3d maps (which are dreadful). I have refunded.

### 3/5 — Useful but confusing

*2024-09-24, version 1.14.3*

Please could the developer make it easier to figure out the process? I find it confusing! Do I start with the tube line I am going on, then the station I am getting off at and where I want to go next? Sorry but some indications of what to do would be really useful please! Happy to change my rating to 5 star if you add some instructions! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great app; works offline

*2024-07-14, version 1.14.3*

Love this app, it even works offline!  Been using it for years.

### 3/5 — Invaluable app, but badly needs an update

*2024-06-06, version 1.14.3*

I love this app. It’s essential for time-saving and getting about the Tube; especially during rush hour. BUT there has been a lot of change in the underground since the last release so a lot of the platform info isn’t quite right. It’s good now, but would be so much better with an update

### 5/5 — Absolutely indispensable

*2024-04-01, version 1.14.3*

If you travel with a buggy, luggage, wheelchair or a big dog you need to know whether stations on your journey have lifts or short flights of stairs or whether there is no access except by escalator. 
This tells you - and saves time and money. Love it.

### 2/5 — Out of date, inaccurate

*2023-12-09, version 1.14.3*

The whole point of this app is to be accurate and up-to-date and it frequently isn't; it seems abandoned, the developers are not responding to support emails either.

### 2/5 — Tube exits incorrect

*2023-10-31, version 1.14.3*

I tired to reach out to the dev but no reply. The tube exits don’t seem to be correct and difficult to read. I know this app has it all but with the wrong information it’s not useful sadly :( it could be great if this was fixed
