Working again on ios27
Working again on ios27. Thanks for fixing it!
Excellent app
Not sure about Android devices but this app works perfectly on iPhone. Twice in the last week it has alerted me to issues within minutes of them happening so I could take an alternate route instead of waiting endlessly at a stop for a tram that’s never going to come.
If you have issues after the latest Apple update, delete the app and install again. Annoying that you lose your bookmarks, but still works well and 100% worth the hassle.

App doesn’t work
This app does not work, it keeps requesting internet access? It doesn’t provide any information about any trams
Currently not working 30-09-26
Tracker is down again. Currently cannot display anything, or link to anything. All my other apps are working including PTV
App not working
There is an error in the app and doesn’t let you see the timetables!
Outdated
This app has been the same for years. It’s still sometimes useful but it’s inaccurate and prone outages - like right now. And you need to be there a minute or so earlier than it tells you as trams often come earlier than it says (which is worse than if they’re late!).
App has stopped working
This app when it works is great. However from time to time it can find my location ok but then says that I am not connected to the internet and so can’t give any info. Hence the one star review
Not working
Completely stopped showing any information. Just gives an error ‘unable to contact the tramTRACKER service’.
Bad, doesn’t tell tram time
Bad, doesn’t tell tram time
Doesn’t allow me to track trams.
I’m quite upset because this app used to be so great. It was quite accurate and easy to use, however, it never lets me track any trams anymore. It says “unable to contact the tramTRACKER service” so now it is basically useless.
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?
5 stars
This has helped me get to and from my destination every day nice and easily
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.

Review
This app always says the wrong times, don’t trust it. This app told me the tram was 2 minutes away so I sprinted for my life, being unable to breathe the tram arrived 6 minutes later, I was about to pass out after running that fast, good with all the stops but horrible work with the timings, very dissatisfied

What is this, bro?
I saw a tram approaching and the app said 31 minutes 🤣
Absolutely underrated app
I don't understand why so many people have been saying tramTRACKER is so bad, because in my personal experience it's the best and I wish there was a suburban train equivalent.
First of all, the app works perfectly fine. Everything loads, there are no bugs, and the ETAs are accurate enough. The only issue I've had is when I go to the list of tram routes and tap on "Network", nothing loads. I believe this was supposed to be an image of the tram network map that just won't load anymore, but there are so many other places to find the Melbourne tram network map, such as inside trams, at tram stops, and online, so you don't really need it to load on tramTRACKER. I've also found that I don't get push notifications for service disruptions despite having turned that on and allowing push notifications from tramTRACKER, but again there are many other ways of finding out about service disruptions.
Already tramTRACKER is good enough for telling people how long until the next tram, but there's even more. You're able to filter upcoming tram arrivals by whether or not they are low floor, which is great for people with physical disabilities, and you can also filter stops by if they have a raised platform, if they have a shelter, and if they have myki machines. You can also favourite stops and give them names and stuff so you can easily access their arrival times in the future. This may seem pretty basic, but surprisingly the PTV app (which soon should be the Transport Victoria app, for those reading this in the near future) doesn't have any of this.
A couple more features I like:
1. You are able to search up the location of individual trams by their number. This also shows the scheduled departure times for each upcoming and previous stop, and the route number and terminus is shown at the top of the screen too. From here you can scroll left on a stop to send a push notification to your phone a couple minutes before that tram reaches the selected stop.
2. When looking at the upcoming tram arrivals for a stop, you get a little picture of what your tram will look like. This I personally like because I can then tell from that picture what tram class I will be getting on, and although most people won't really care about that, it might still be helpful to have a picture of what your tram will look like.
In conclusion, I think tramTRACKER is great when it works. In all the years of me using it I have had little to no issues with it and will keep using it until it gets shut down for some reason or until I die. It's just that great.

No Longer Works
When it was functioning it was a very helpful app. Now it won’t even load and appears others are having the same issue. RIP tramTRACKER.
