User reviews

Improved immensely

When I first started using this a couple of years ago it was terrible, absolute garbage, but it has improved immensely so it’s now usable… not perfect but way better

My original 1 star review below: Frustrating to use, inaccurate. Stick with citimapper, at least it’s useful

App is useless for visitors

App is useless. Cannot add visitor oyster card. Could not log in with existing TFL account used to buy the oyster card. Could not access TFL website from a mobile phone WHILE IN LONDON and NOT on a vpn to create a new TFL account. Finally had to turn on VPN and pretend to be in PARIS to create a new TFL account and log into the app, and then it would not let me add the oyster card even though a visitor oyster card is NOT one of the types listed as “you cannot use these types with the app.”

The updates are not live

Despite what this app promises the real life status of the TFL network is not shown on this app. The information about service is often untrue and does not reflect the actual disruptions. Not sure how this app got such high ranking

Frustrated…

Keep signing out of app

Disappointed

The old app was easier to use and gave you more options. This app takes the longer routes
