Works mostly
Unlike many other reviewers, this app works well for me (I’m on an iPhone 7 with the latest iOS). Tram arrival times are accurate, although sometimes a tram will ‘disappear’. Also love the ability to track the tram you’re on. However, I can never update the disruptions notification service to my actual routes. Whenever I try, it says “could not save changes”. This feature would be really useful, if it worked. Would be awesome if it showed depot trams, as one of these is often all you need.

Incorrect nearest tram stop on widget
It used to be really handy to drop down my notifications/widget bar to check my tram stop times as my train is nearing the station, but now, even when I'm at the tram stop in another suburb it brings up Flinders station as my nearest stop. Really annoying as I now have to go into the app and select the stop from my favourites to check the times. The widget is pretty much useless as it uses my location from 20 mins ago. Can you fix this please?

Easy, awesome, useful, thanks !
Forget about the whiners with old phones, they probably don’t know how to do updates. This app has been fantastic for 2 years, lots of features, easy to use, great interface. Thanks a lot developers, you saved me heaps of time and worry. Just set your favourites to your home stop, no need to run for the tram.
