### 3/5 — App is ok, location data it uses is weak

*2026-04-28, version 4.0.2*

I use this app weekly, but increasingly find the bus location data is unreliable and incorrect.

About half the time it seems the bus jumps way ahead, or suddenly is taken offline, or doesn’t seem to have a transponder online.

### 3/5 — Internet-free app

*2026-04-15, version 4.0.2*

Is there a version of this app that does not rely on having the internet? TTC mentioned this years ago. Now there are ads in the app. I would pay for NOT needing to have the internet on my phone, not just removing ads.

### 3/5 — Directions

*2026-03-28, version 4.0.2*

I don’t think this will actually give you directions which is why I got it

### 3/5 — Subway routes

*2026-02-27, version 3.3.1*

Needs more information on subway routes and not just buses. Some updates are not shown in the app.

### 2/5 — App bugs

*2026-02-21, version 3.3.1*

I’ve been using this app for a while and in the beginning it was working well. However it started to stop showing near by stops and not showing the times for the busses.

### 1/5 — Ttc service

*2026-01-27, version 3.3.1*

I understand that the timing for buses aren’t 100% accurate but either way this app, it is always so off with the bus schedule especially at stations. Either the app is wrong or the workers are lazy

### 4/5 — Alerts

*2026-01-25, version 3.3.1*

Alertscould be put in order of priority, for example  main subway lines before that all the bus routes

### 4/5 — Great, until notifications stopped working

*2026-01-18, version 3.3.1*

I've been using this app for years and having the alerts as push notifications has been so helpful, saved me a lot of hassle getting around the city. Recently though I've stopped getting notifications at all. It's still enabled in the app and on my phone's settings, so I don't know what's changed, but it's way less helpful this way. I tried sending a support message but the button in the app doesn't work, and the website is just a static page with no contact info.

### 3/5 — The driver consistently late…(bus 109c)

*2026-01-09, version 3.3.1*

The driver is consistently late, which negatively affects passengers’ schedules.

### 4/5 — Accessibility

*2025-12-30, version 3.3.1*

It’s is quite easy to get info about the services, it’s reliable,  and easy to use as well.

### 1/5 — TTC sucks

*2025-12-14, version 3.3.1*

Their app stopped working or reporting any busses since a month ago - if no one else has this problem then they must not like all the complaints I left about their terrible service

### 2/5 — Not working

*2025-12-12, version 3.3.1*

I have the iPhone 17 pro the ttc app is not working properly on it please advise as to what to do? The notifications keep popping up as soon as I read them not sure what to do

### 1/5 — Review

*2025-12-10, version 3.3.1*

It really needs to provide better UI/UX

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2025-11-24, version 3.3.0*

Crashed soon as I opened it, just like the ttc

### 2/5 — Why does the not give information on route changes and keep the notification during construction?

*2025-11-19, version 3.2.9*

During construction the app does not give notification for construction and information on route changes and how to get to your destination when you go into the alert section there isn’t any information and only find out when you get to the stop

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No subway Line information

*2026-07-09, version 4.1.0*

There is only information for bus and streetcar. No information for subway

### 1/5 — Worst UX designer-s

*2026-06-21, version 4.1.0*

I don’t understand how a simple task like searching for your destination “As address details “ isn’t an option there!

How could I know what’s the stop number if it’s first time user/destination ? 
It’s called User-Flow! Or empathy.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-14, version 4.0.4*

I loved RocketMan. Nothing comes close. THIS app, obviously written by someone who does not use the TTC,  will not allow me to arrange my most used stops in an order that works for me. Instead, the recent update has listed my stops numerically. Utterly useless. 
Avoid this.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-05-13, version 4.0.4*

Half the time the app says the bus I’m looking for will take an hour so I takes a different one and then I see the bus that said would take an hour go by me

### 1/5 — Inconsistent and unreliable

*2026-05-05, version 4.0.2*

This app is so objectively inconsistent and unreliable. It has had me waiting in the cold for one hour because it can’t give accurate information. Can you people get rid of it, already? Jeez

### 1/5 — Annoying ads

*2026-04-30, version 4.0.2*

Used to be better,  but with the latest update they added a bunch of ads to the interface, & nothing noticeable in terms of improvements. Going to look for another

### 1/5 — The ttc sucks

*2026-04-23, version 4.0.2*

Buses are always delayed and streetcars are so unreliable

### 1/5 — Pretty useless

*2026-04-03, version 4.0.2*

If you need to find a stop… it will get you within a hundred metres

### 1/5 — Inconsistent and unreliable

*2026-04-02, version 4.0.2*

This app is inconsistent and unreliable. It has had me waiting in the cold for one hour because it can’t give accurate information.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-02-17, version 3.3.1*

This thing will predict bus times so inaccurately that o have stopped relying on it for anything other than curing my boredom while waiting at a station. Spams notifications and will sometimes just say a bus is cancelled that is running perfectly fine. The entire system passes me off and this is a terrible website

Helps me plan my day better

### 5/5 — Reliable and critical for TTC use

*2026-01-15, version 3.3.1*

I use this daily! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Thumbs up

*2026-01-03, version 3.3.1*

As an operator this app helps me a lot everyday tracking my bus being able to see the bus#, run# and schedule. Thank you so much for making this app

### 5/5 — Save time!

*2025-12-12, version 3.3.1*

This app is one of favourites. Works really well and provides a good understanding on when to arrive at the stop. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-11-12, version 3.2.9*

I have been using this app for many years to find buses and it has always been great

### 5/5 — Love this TTC app

*2025-10-12, version 3.2.9*

Love this TTC app. It’s always accurate and easy to use.

### 5/5 — TTC, all love!

*2025-09-11, version 3.2.9*

All love , Respect, gratitude for everyone working for TTC.
Dedicated , compassionate, great attitudes and amazingly distinctive !

### 5/5 — Commendation for bus driver    6043 bound to Lawrence Station

*2025-09-06, version 3.2.9*

I would like to commend the driver of Bus #52, heading to Lawrence Station at approximately 8:00 a.m.  dated today September 5th. I boarded at Keele and Lawrence( bus # 6043). The driver was very considerate to passengers and displayed excellent, smooth driving skills. As someone who has been riding the TTC for six years, I can say that only a few drivers go above and beyond passenger expectations. This driver truly stood out, and I greatly appreciate his professionalism and dedication.

### 5/5 — TTC Map

*2025-07-24, version 3.2.9*

This is a gr8 app I can create my own TTC map & follow the buses. I love that I can pin mark the stops. Keep up the good work.
