User Reviews for onTime Metra, CTA

Useless and slow

The first thing I noticed about this particular app and related apps is that it will not hold the transit times after you close the app even if you immediately reopen it. It takes 2 to 3 minutes to download all of the train times. This is unnecessary and frustrating. Next is the fact that it will not accommodate travels that switch lines such as purple to red. It simply says That no such connection is possible. This is unfortunate. Other programs clearly accommodate train switches. It’s unbelievable that this company would produce so many inferior products.

Overall good app - very annoying game advertisements are an issue

I have been using this app for about 6 months and have generally found it reliable. I also check Metra directly to make sure I don’t miss any service alerts. Although I understand the need for free apps to advertise, the game app advertisements are very annoying - they stop my active radio/music/podcast apps and the adds are hard to click to minimize. If that is something you can live with, the functionality and ease of use of this app is good.

Just bad

I’m surprised this is the official app for Chicago metra, it’s bogged down with terrible performance and a ton of ads. How isn’t there a free metra app with updated information? The updates given hardly ever reflect actual timeframes. This app is quintessential Chicago transit; corrupt and having money go into the pockets of executives/administration over workers, new equipment/technologies.Update: I take the train 5-7 days of the week, since I’ve posted this review my trained has honestly been delayed 50 percent of the time, and not by a couple minutes, rather 10-15. Two weeks ago our train was stuck at a red light for 30 minutes. Metra is corrupt and by using an app that has ads is a prime example

THE WORST!!!

This is quite possibly the sh****est app I’ve ever used. I ride the “L” 4 times a day and heavily rely on the app to know when trains are arriving, even though it’s half accurate at times. I can say on a consistent basis it either A) never opens B) opens, loading sign swirls around then boots you out, or C) open, loads the wrong station, then shuts down after switching to correct station. I tried the free version of the app, kept it updated (which they rarely put out updates to fix bugs) so I then paid for the 4.99 yearly subscription when the free quit working, after doing so it’s not even opening!!! I have attempted multiple times today alone to use this crap-tastic app and can’t even get it to stay open long enough to try and load the schedule!! Save yourself the time and just go to the CTA website for train times!!

I Depend on It!

Started using the app last fall and I love it. My only complaint is due to frequent delays because of in-climate weather it would be nice if the schedule could be updated in real time.* Like notices tha the train is running late.I’ve had to wait outdoors on a platform in freezing weather too long for delayed trains not knowing when the train was coming. The platform announcements aren’t timely either.

Love this app

I honestly haven’t made use of any of the additional features of this app at all yet, so I can’t expertly speak on them. So far, the train info that I’ve looked up has always been accurate, is more reliable than Metra’s own website, which has several times given me incorrect info on weekends, and I love the little countdown feature. Super useful!

Easy to use

I have taken Metra rarely in my life. Sorry folks, my work has never been within 5 miles of a Metra station and it would be too long and costly to use it for work. However, I have started using Metra to go to events downtown. I found this app on the app store before a recent trip. It is easy to use, intuitive, and has useful features to remind you about your train schedule even when you are not thinking about it. I knocked one star off because I would like to buy tickets through the app. Other than through the conductor, Metra makes it hard to get tickets. The ticket app is horrible and this would be a logical app in which to buy them.

Awful App

9/29 Still have not removed the ads.9/25 Still have ads. I’ll just keep submitting 1 star reviews. All they say is they will submit the info to their developers. This is a horrible app...they expect you to pay not have giant ads pop up quite frequently and it is usually when you are at a critical point of checking your stop or navigating and all of a sudden ads pop up and you cannot see the app at all. You have to wait sometimes a whole minute in order to minimize the ads. Total rip off and unusable app. Don’t bother. No other transit apps make you pay to avoid ads. Ridiculous.

Good for schedule and that’s about it

This app keeps is a great train schedule and is awesome for looking up various train times quickly based on where you want to go. Anything else it offers is practically useless. Its train tracking and check in in real time is useless. In fact, it is extremely dishonest about train locations. For example, my train is 5 min late right now and the app says it’s already 3 stops away. A good app but far from a great one.

Accurate and Easy

Before this app I would use Chicago metra’s website to see times and whether or not trains were delayed. IT WAS TOTALLY UNRELIABLE! Their GPS “feature” is crap and only sometimes works. I am amazed that this app is capable of being so accurate. USE THIS APP if you want to know when the train is coming. Its also free. I mean the ads can be a little annoying but they’re not too bad compared to the quality time checking you get.
