### 4/5 — Great app!

*2015-04-11, version 4.0*

I use this app pretty frequently to catch the Tucson streetcar. In spite of the occasional glitches, it's much better than guessing when the next car will arrive. Good job!

### 5/5 — Tucson Streetcar

*2015-04-11, version 4.0*

This is a very useful app. I give it high marks for design, and accuracy (it is usually correct within a  minute or two, better than most humans). Not having an iPhone, I use it on my iPad 2 mini.

### 4/5 — Impressive app

*2015-03-25, version 4.0*

1 star has been removed only because there is often a several block/1 minute delay.  Aside from that, I find the app, and the streetcar, extremely useful.  Tighten up the time a bit and you get another star!  :)

### 5/5 — Exceeds my expectations

*2015-03-14, version 4.0*

When a guy at the streetcar stop showed me this app I was hooked from the get-go. Since then, in my several times a week streetcar ride it is helpful to know whether I have time to run another errand before the next car. Being able to pinch the map to zoom in or out is a real plus especially when cars overlap on the Birdseye view. Having businesses' names on the map is another bonus. Advertising? Why not, especially from local merchants.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2014-10-19, version 2.0*

Great app. Now I can tell where the street car and get an estimate when it will be at a stop. Perfect for that last drink at Chovies before heading downtown.

### 5/5 — This is cool!

*2014-10-05, version 2.0*

This is cool! I like that you can see the streetcar moving along the route. Nicely done. This is a great app for those of us who like to ride the streetcar.

### 5/5 — Works well!

*2014-09-12, version 1.1*

So far so good!  The only time I have had it not work is when the streetcar connectivity is down. Could see nothing on the app, got on the next car and the fare kiosks were down. No fault of the app!

### 5/5 — Great job

*2014-09-11, version 1.1*

You really did us a favor, I hope to use this.

### 4/5 — Finally!

*2014-09-11, version 1.1*

Nice and simple to use! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Good Job

*2014-08-28, version 1.0*

Even though this app should have been made (or paid for) by sun link, it will be very helpful in deciding how to get around efficiently.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — This app needs more development

*2023-09-10, version 5*

It really isn’t that useful. The interface is lacking any context in the map. There is only that one function. No run times, no list of stops. It also is unclear which cars are running in which directions as there is no East/West signification, only arrows. I wish it were more useful but it has caused a number of issues for me.

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work

*2023-07-24, version 5*

It shows the streetcar passing by on the app, but the streetcar is nowhere to be seen in person. This app may just be using the “schedule” (for example, trains running exactly every 10 mins between 9 am - 6 pm), instead of actually tracking the live location of the train. If the trains actually followed a schedule there’d be no need for this app.

### 1/5 — Problematic After Update

*2017-11-22, version 5*

Before the update, the app worked perfectly fine. However, after updating to the newest version, the app gives extremely inaccurate locations of the SunLinks. The new update also zooms the map out every time you click the home button of your phone, forcing you to zoom in again. It is quite inconvenient.

### 2/5 — Map Doesn’t Show Up Anymore

*2024-11-05, version 5*

It seems like this app isn’t updated anymore but it’s very useful when it works!

### 2/5 — Semi-useful

*2019-06-17, version 5*

The location of the streetcars I would say are consistently wrong. I have a stop right outside my office, and when the app shows the streetcar is on it’s way to my stop, it has almost always already passed by the stop, meaning another 10-15 wait.

### 2/5 — No maintained regularly

*2019-03-28, version 5*

Many locations listed in the have been closed for a while.

### 2/5 — OLD

*2016-10-03, version 4.0*

It's old and it doesn't really work for anyone that rich people. 

No Justice no peace.

### 2/5 — Caution- May be wrong

*2015-03-26, version 4.0*

I downloaded this app to get a better idea of how close I was to making or missing the streetcar, but it was completely off. I missed the car that the map said that I should have made and made the next car way before the app said that it was coming. Perhaps it just happened to be incorrect today, but it wasn't helpful at all.

### 3/5 — Sun Tran

*2014-09-07, version 1.1*

Is not associated with sun link. In fact, there is animosity between the teamsters union and the street car drivers. So of course sun tran wouldn't approve of the app.

### 4/5 — Helpful app

*2015-07-30, version 4.0*

So helpful with no set schedule! And not available on Google maps.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Useful, Accurate, Second to None!

*2017-04-15, version 4.0*

This app is one of the best apps I have ever used in my entire life. Better than Doodle Jump, better than Angry Birds, IG, Snapchat, etc. 

It's just the best

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2016-11-04, version 4.0*

This is the best app I have ever ever seen! You are brilliant! Congratulations, and 1 million thanks for a fantastic APP.

### 5/5 — All Suntran should be on this

*2016-09-29, version 4.0*

Really useful, although the reporting can be a little off. Sometimes the streetcar is ahead of what the app says, and sometimes it's behind!?  Just by a minute, but you need to plan that in.

### 5/5 — It does the thing it is supposed to do

*2016-09-09, version 4.0*

Shows you where the streetcars are.  A++ would track again.

### 5/5 — 👍🏽

*2016-06-28, version 4.0*

Excellent app.

### 5/5 — It helps

*2016-06-16, version 4.0*

I use the app almost every day of the work week. It's especially helpful in the summer when I don't want to be waiting in over 100 degree weather for too long. Most of the time the app is accurate. If it isn't working right, it is usually easy to tell bc the cars either don't move or they won't pop up.

### 5/5 — Love This App!

*2016-03-13, version 4.0*

It's great to have an approximate time by which I need to get to a stop. The app adds a bit more fun and ease to the Streetcar experience!

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2015-09-09, version 4.0*

It works very nicely and it's pretty accurate. I can plan my escape from school and work with a very high degree of accuracy. I suggest (if possible of course for future development and incremental app improvement) a way to set an array of "favorite" stops which will be able to give me times until a street car arrives, sort of how there is an estimated TOA at some stops. I would also suggest an implementation of purchasing fare on devices as well as use of the NFC technology to be able to "scan" my fare on the street car when I board. Cheers.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2015-08-21, version 4.0*

I've been using this app since it was released and I've never had any problems with it. It's simple and to the point with nothing in your face like ads or unnecessary banners. I'd recommend it his app to anyone living in Tucson. Keep it up! 👍

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2015-04-27, version 4.0*

Thank you for making this app! It has saved me waiting around for the random trolley that really seems to run on its own accord. It's so useful!
