New update sucks
Loved this app before but the new UI is worse, the app runs slower, it’s less accurate, and now the ads are obnoxious. The simplest apps even suck now.

Awful despite last update
Ok, so you added back stops along the way, pretty basic tho. App is still awful. Unclear how to select a bus route, and can no longer switch between Northbound and Southbound at a given stop. Has anyone who developed this ever taken a bus before??? And in the bottom nav line, by “Stop” do you mean Route or Bus Line? Do I need to explain the difference? Again, has anyone working on this ever taken a bus?

HEY U, I FIXED THE APP:
I fixed it. All you have to do is download the Chinese CTA app that has like 200 lifetime reviews.
What you put up with:
Alphabetical train stops.
A pop up in different places.
What you gain:
Uncluttered UI
Snappy UI
LESS information
Auto-refresh
I kept the original app because I didn’t feel like moving all my favorites in the 5 minutes I used it this morning, but the stuff I check constantly is in the Chinese app now.

Another terrible UI update
Terrible more steps. If testing proved anything is that the previous app functions were better than the update. I hate it. More steps to view what was available at a glance.
thx for the update
guys I was so afraid when the upcoming stops disappeared with the new update so thank you for putting it back 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
October Update
I used this app every day prior to the update. They made the UI borderline unusable and removed several features ie. direction switching, closest stop, trains in both directions. Why would they limit the stops near me to a “5 minute walking radius”?
New UI Is Bad
It’s now impossible to switch between east/west and north/south once you click on a bus stop. Plus everything is bigger, and it takes longer to scroll through the list of buses and stops.
Not as good as last version
Too many things to share now - don’t like it or was it just easy?
Worst “upgrade” ever
Wtf were they thinking
They fixed it!!
Came back here to amend a one star review that was left because of the updated UI. The developer not only listened to the feedback given, but they worked really quickly to restore all lost content. Absolute props to them!
best chicago transit app!
my boss told me to download this app when i moved to the city and thank goodness they did! most accurate times ive found and doesnt eat up my battery. i like that i can star my favs. and super responsive dev team, thank you!!
New update is horrible!
I have been happily using this app for years but the latest update ruined it. I had relied on seeing the vehicle numbers to know which bus was leaving next at my terminal and to know I was getting on the correct bus when the display was broken. This update removed that feature, and the “Contact Developer” button didn’t even work, giving me an “Email is not enabled on your device” error on my iPhone. This doesn’t even mention the UI which was completely reconfigured for no reason. I’m just going to use Ventra now unless things get fixed.

Update made app awful
I’ve used this app for years to ride both trains and buses in CTA. I opened it this morning and they had changed everything. It’s not user friendly anymore and practically unreadable.
Awful is the word that coms to mind.

Ruined!!
I don’t want to just see when it will arrive at my stop. I want to see the full list of stops between where I got on and when I’m getting off, and when it will get to the stop I’m headed to. How could you ruin this so badly?????
New UI is Not Optimal
It’s a downgrade from what it was previously. It’s more difficult to see multiple options at a single stop, and even trying to get the map to swipe down is a chore. The circles are also just not as easy on the eyes as the old UI too. Overall, disappointing update that makes me want to find other apps for my transit needs. Bummer.

Why
It seems the same designer who made me not want to use my PNC app ever again tried their hand at the CTA app.
To the project manager who approved the design…I think I never eat to check times again & Ill just wait at the stop for whenever. Then when an emergency delay happens & I don’t want to check it because the app is so unattractive…THEEEEEN I’ll come back & leave an angry 1 star review. Until then 3 stars…or 5 if I can revert to less information being on my screen.
You should have an icon on the right of the row that works as a dropdown to expand the information instead of always displaying it. You know, how it used to work. Thanks for the mess though I hate it. I’m gonna go look at the screen on the platforms now. Hopefully your cancerous design language hasn’t infected the world.

New update sucks
The old one was jenky but I could make it work. The new update sucks. Its prettier but the old functionality that made it worth having this app is gone, like being able to use the gps to know automatically which is the closest stop to you. It makes you tap on the upcoming transit to switch between time remaining and eta. Sucks balls.

Hate the new look
The new look is not attractive at all. Give me back the old look but with the new features.
miss the old version
This update is so horrible. UIX was better in old version and I genuinely don’t think I can use the app anymore after relying on it for like 10 years. Why change something that works just fine the way it is? Please stop prioritizing “modernization” over practicality.
