Latest reviews of Transit Tracker - Chicago app for iPhone and iPad

Would give zero stars if possible
This app is not worth $0.99. Shuts down/ freezes unexpectedly, does not allow you to search for known stations (meta) and save that itinerary. Basically its quick to find nearby stations/ bus stops, which you can easily do from your Maps application. Dont waste your time or money on this App. Its buggy and generally useless.
Crashes
Just crashes and crashes and crashes.
Beats that other app...
Had a problem, got quick & effective support. Been using ChiTransit, but this has been more accurate about bus arrival times.
Good enough
Unlike the old school Google maps that kept you from needing other apps this one does explain pretty clear & accurately the bus times which beats out any other apps Ive used.
So helpful
This is great- not only does it tell you where the stops are, but it will show you several routes with ETAs
