About this app

The app allows you to personalise Metro’s live service updates to receive the information you want at the times that you need it.

Some of the features include:

- My Trips allows you set up your stations as well as lines so you can receive the next four timetabled services from your chosen stations and will show alerts for your chosen lines

- Next Four departures are shown for your trip stations. You can toggle between trip stations to see departures in both directions. Up-to-date departure information is displayed, providing expected departure times.

- Travel Alerts will provide push notifications for travel updates to your line at your selected travel times.

- A Morning Update which assures you that your selected line/s is running a good service

Ratings and reviews

Works a treat, but I do wish I had more control over the notification schedules. I end up getting notifications well over an hour before I leave work in the evenings because I can't select a later time.

I get nearly endless joy from laughing as other train lines experience delays, then I get cancellations. 2 major gripes however, you can't view trip information when there's a delay (it covers all service information). The other major issue is that it only shows timetabled times, not when the train is actually going to arrive like Google maps. Not the worst app I've used and far better than Tramtracker

This App really is useless at most times. Don't think it has to do only with the app's robustness/quality but also with their crappy back end that can't facilitate such a service. Backwards as always with Metro. The app notifies me up to an hour after the event has happened. On the occasions I get an event on time, if I click it from the notification tray it, most times it will open the app only for it to not show. Click refresh does not fix this either and only shows that my train line has good service (when I just got notified of an issue?). As software engineer myself I could probably do a better job developing this on my own. Really needs fixing!

What's new

Minor updates, departures can be opened to view departure times for the entire trip.
