Customer Reviews
ay caramba!!!
first of all it's free so no complaints what-so-ever. There was a slight let down earlier due to crashing after an update. Team responded quite rapidly did another update (bug fix) now it works like a charm.excellent all round.in fact this can truly compete with "London Tube Deluxe" I'm yet to test accuracy against LUL live TrackerNet.however tested while waiting for a train at my station and it was I say at least 98% accurate, just few seconds difference that's all.thanks for lovely app.
Unreliable info
Impossible to rely on this app. Regularly fails to maintain up to date information on line status and engineering works. Several instances where it says "Good status" when in fact the line (e.g. the DLR) is closed!
Have raised this with developer, who sadly seems unable or too busy to help!
Use TubeMap instead - very reliable in my experience, free with nice interface and features.
Used to work
Doesn't show Piccadilly trains from Eastcote at all. shows metropolitan, but there'd be a piccadilly on the platform. Rated a 5 earlier, but a beautiful app gone south.
