Unreliable

I hate this app so much. The number of times it’s screwed me over by being inaccurate I can’t even count, but there’s no alternative. It has one job, and it does it poorly. Also, why is it a separate app from the PTV app?

Frustrating

Recently the app has refused to work. It will show nearby stops and favourites but, more often than not, it will not connect to real time updates. Very frustrating. I use the PTV app or Google Maps instead most of the time.

App Loading Time Regression

Used to start pretty quickly but now it just hangs forever on green splash screen when opening

Phantom trams

Mostly good. Issue is with phantom (tracked) trams that never turn up and those that appear without being in the app. Interface and features are stuck in the 90’s.

Love the new widget update

I love the new widget update and I can see this feature being improved over the coming updates.
Overall it’s a great app which I use daily and it’s reliable.
