### 3/5 — Train times need updating

*2019-04-01, version 1.2.07*

This is far easier to use than the Metlink app - however it need to be updated with the current timetable

### 4/5 — Kapiti Line timetable needs updating

*2018-08-06, version 1.2.04*

This is the best easy to use app but sadly the timetable is not up to date. Could you please update with the correct timetable

### 1/5 — Timetable out of date

*2018-08-05, version 1.2.04*

This is a great ap but the timetable needs updating. Major changes from 15 July are not there.

### 3/5 — Update Tinetables

*2018-07-16, version 1.2.04*

Good app but when are you going to do the update for the new timetable than came into effect yesterday.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2017-04-07, version 1.2.03*

I use this App quite often on the Hutt Valley line and have had no problems. I love the ability to add favourites. 
Thanks for making an App that's really useful.

### 4/5 — Ms

*2016-11-21, version 1.2.01*

Generally reliable and is a great app which I use a lot! At present, there seems to be a error on the Kapiti line with the times of arrival for trains from Paremata to Pukerua Bay. It states that it takes 41 minutes!!

### 4/5 — Wellington trains

*2015-01-13, version 1.1.0*

This used to be the most fantastic ap and deserved 5 stars plus. 
It's now got a bug and sadly updates don't fix it.

### 3/5 — Simple to use

*2014-08-10, version 1.0.8*

This app is simple to use and does what it says it will do. It needs updating though - the Kapiti line information has been wrong for a few months now.

### 4/5 — Train timetable app

*2014-05-23, version 1.0.7*

Thought I would invest my $2 for this app like to support local talent 

The author must keep it relevant please. Timetables ?,

I note Saturday has an error in it for the Kapiti to Wlg line compared to the metlink   timetable.

Clean lines looks good just keep it up todaye please
Well done !

### 4/5 — very handy reference

*2014-04-12, version 1.0.7*

Uncluttered and simple to use app, does rely on trains to be on time, as no live data. Text just a bit small for my eyes when in a hurry. Would be great to add the Capital Connection too. Great as I’m an irregular commuter, Thanks
