Great app!

Great app, very easy to use

Good but needs work

The UI is nice, however a big point of concern for me is the inability to look up any carry on journeys. For example, if someone wants to get from Rhodes to UNSW Anzac parade, it doesn’t seem like there is an intuitive way to save a trip like that. Also, if I look for a trip from ‘parramatta’ on the ferry, and I want to go to manly, the option for ‘Manly’ is behind the taskbar at the bottom making it a bit hard to click (this is the case for any trip, the last option is always behind the taskbar). In general as well, the app runs a bit slow and laggy on my iPhone. But really well done, this app has a great future ahead of it!

Better than tripview

Easy to use, simple UI

Thirsty vibe coded app

Routing needs to be looked at - trains continuing through the city loop is the default, if you followed this you'd waste time changing. Not something battle tested at all. For some reason it notifies you at certain times through the day if you want to check the times, which reeks of engagement hacking for ad views.

Good and needs more improvements

I’m trying this out and saw some problems.
- realtime data is available from tripview but not in your app
- track work date is not being reported
One improvement I would suggest is that try to have the trip extension just like the way it happens in trip view
