Way too expensive
Response from developer
Hey mate, sorry you feel that way -- just so you know there are family and teams options now available in case you want a parent or your company to buy Pro for you.
Way Too Expensive And IT WANTS APPLE ACCOUNT
Response from developer
Hey there, you can use it without signing in with apple (you'll miss the live activity feature though) -- also FYI there are family and teams options available in case you want a parent or your company to buy Pro for you.
No info on Overground or DLR
Seriously expensive
I don’t doubt this is a really useful app, but that is not a justifiable cost for an app like this. This is a neat tool but no healthcare, entertainment, educational, music apps or anything similar cost anything like this.
Response from developer
Hey Peter, thanks for your kind words. Sorry you didn't try the app fully. You'll be welcome back any time of course!
Great app but pro is pricey
Response from developer
Thanks for the kind review JustJon97, I love that you love those features! Sorry you feel that way about Pro. All I can say is I'm putting out a fantastic product -- it lets you never have to unknowingly go on a bad Tube ever again! It checkmates the Tube problem for you. It's a very niche London benefit (superior Tube transit experiences) so I'm not sure those comparisons apply too well. Wouldn't you be happier if you could sidestep all those crowded/slow/jammed Tube experiences? Wouldn't the daily commute be that much more enjoyable and sustainable? Wouldn't that affect your work/life positively? Wouldn't it all thoroughly pay off? Sure it would!
Expensive, otherwise limited
However, the app does have some potential, it’s held back by many features that feel half-baked like the routes option. I can’t select my start and end stations without adding multiple lines, and it makes it feel unintuitive and difficult to use.
The lines option also displays very little usable information as most is hidden behind a very expensive paywall. I’ve found that for my use, these limitations and “beta” features make the app confusing and almost pointless to use, especially for its very high cost.

"Expensive but TRULY LIFE CHANGING AND TOTALLY WORTH IT" I think you meant in the title 😉 All jokes aside thanks for giving it a try. Hope you come back to use the free features if you find yourself in a bind sometime.
Great App
Response from developer
Thanks for your review, glad you like it!
Unusable
Response from developer
Hi, sorry you seem to have hit one of the 2-3 stations that is currently excluded from the routes features (that's the reason for the 'beta' label on the routes tab). You can find very good similar info by zooming the northern line map on the lines screens instead. (I.e. it still should very usable for you)
No additional functionality to the web page
See no reason for to download if you aren’t willing to pay for it.
Response from developer
See 3.3.3 or later.
Great app
Too many ads and all of the features are now locked behind a paywall
Response from developer
This review seems to be spam: there are 0 adverts (and never have been). Not everything is locked, it's a freemium app (part free, part paid).
Paygate relaxed, but still
I’d be willing to pay for a pro subscription, but £78/year for a handful of API calls is daylight robbery. Sorry.
Response from developer
Update: As of v2.0.0 it is no more 'paygated' than it was in the earliest version (v1.0.0). --- Hi there, thanks for your feedback but it was never free, it has always been freemium (part free, part paid -- with a free trial). You may have got confused by a cosmetic UI change where lock icons were added. Our math-powered statuses are available for FREE for all lines in the app (and all the information on the official TfL status page is there for free as well). You also get partial access to some pro features for FREE for some lines every day. If you want full access to all pro features you need a subscription. As mentioned: It has always been a freemium app that can be used with or without a subscription. There is also a free trial available for the pro subscription and the app has no ads.
Accurate!
Status is not available free
Response from developer
Hi there, Actually you seem to be mistaken – you can view both the official TfL status and our math-powered statuses for free for all lines. The app uses both publicly available data and proprietary data (i.e. not just publicly available data). The app has always been freemium (part free, part paid) -- you can use the free version forever no problem if you don't want the advanced Pro features. The app's most advanced features are designed to help you 'upgrade your commute' and are therefore paid features.
Really good app for London Commuters
What sets True Tube Status apart from other similar apps is its user-friendly interface and real-time updates. The app is incredibly intuitive and easy to use, and I've found that the information provided is very helpful.
I'm also excited to see the upcoming updates and new features that the team has planned. If you're a London commuter like me, I highly recommend giving True Tube Status a try. It's a great app for staying on top of your daily journey!
Avoid
Response from developer
Update: As of v2.1.0 those Pro features can be accessed using low cost pay-as-you-go options. (Further update: 0 people bought the pay-as-you-go alternative so it has been removed in v2.1.9 -- can't say I didn't try!) -- Thanks for your feedback. For full access a Pro subscription is required. You can try it for free on the 7-day free trial. If that isn't for you, you can always use the free features without a subscription. There's no advertising for free or Pro users.
Why didn’t TfL think of this?
Have been looking for this for years
Game changer
Response from developer
You're using it like a pro MrGribley! Thanks for the awesome review!
Brilliant resource
