### 1/5 — Worst app

*2025-01-14*

This stuff won’t even let me get updates on the London Underground, Overground, Elizabeth Line, DLR, and Trams. Worst app ever

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2022-11-08, version 1.7.1*

Doesnt work, dont bother

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2018-01-04, version 1.6.1*

Like the nice size Widget, would like to see the Coloured tube strips with tube line names in like you see on tfl website, this would be much better then the small coloured dots and also would be cool to have detailed push notifications back like you used to have with the old and best style widget a few years back
