Metlink beta (v. 1.0) Разработано Metlink Victoria |
Calling all Victorian public transport users with Android smartphones!
Metlink’s official customer information app is now available for download in beta.
The beta app provides you with the latest train, tram and bus information on the go. You can:
- check timetables and real-time tram information
- plan your journey
- view the unplanned changes for metropolitan trains
- load your favourite stations and stops for quick access to timetables
- submit feedback using the app’s ‘feedback’ tab.
Your feedback will help us improve this customer information tool when we develop a native app to make full use of Android’s functionality.

[2012-07-17] Lee: Horrible This app is slow, confusing and hard to use. The apple IOS version is a LOT better. If this is the beta I can't bear what the completed app will be. |
|
[2012-07-16] Izzy: Disappointed Doesn't work for me, just continuously loads and loads and loads then tells me to look at the website instead... |
|
[2012-07-16] WINNIE: bad app really bad, always errors!! wanna uninstall it now |
|
[2012-07-12] RJ: Interface is quite terrible. Yes, it's a beta, but still not good enough. Too many bugs. Connection errors. Little thought given to usability for this app. Frustrating to use, as evidenced by the other comments here. Screen real estate is underused. Navigation is not intuitive. And Metlink haven't released an update in ages.I would rather have my face ravaged by a pack of angry weasels than use this poor excuse for an app. |
|
[2012-07-11] Josh: Non functioning I can be standing next to a train station and the app pulls up 10 bus stops nearby instead. Obviously a rushed effort so PTV can say they have an android app. About the same quality of service as the system itself. |
|
[2012-07-11] Jobby: Just stopped working |
|
[2012-07-11] Stuart: Slow Never finds location or updates times. U will miss your already late train waiting for this app |
|
[2012-07-11] Anonymous: SLOW Not helpful at all! End up looking elsewhere for information |
|
[2012-07-11] Hyun-Moon David: ROFLMAO Beta stage for more than a year Hahahahaha |
|
[2012-07-10] Ben: Appalling. What sort of large scale company cannot even make a functioning app? This really shows your incompetence. You even killed Öffi because of your name change. |
|
[2012-07-10] WhysoSerious?: Shite So I guess the team or person developed this app no longer works for ptv. What a joke. They are so caught up in bureaucracy they forgot about what they are there for. |
|
[2012-07-10] Athirah: Very slow loading Its getting slower and slower and until today it is not working at all in my fone (htc desire HD) It is faster if i go to jump online and do journey planner in the browser..fix it.. |
|
[2012-07-10] Clayton: Worked great until This app worked great until PTV rename, now does nothing. Please fix and update |
|
[2012-07-09] Darrell: Updated Vic government "updated" their website (they're useless I know), and this app was updated a year ago... Which means at present this app is useless (unless you want to fill your phone up with non functional useless apps). |
|
[2012-07-09] Stuart: Rubbish |
|
[2012-07-08] SuBByDew: Does what it needs to do! The app does everything that you would use it for. Its works well on my galaxy nexus since being updated and getting a larger interface for higher Res screens. So now I have no issues with the app at all. Plus it is a BETA app so it is worth 5 stars at the moment. |
|
[2012-07-08] Kim: Doesn't work anymore. This app was never good to begin with and now has stopped working completely. PTV broke it. |
|
[2012-07-07] Kusai: Really bad Confusing, slow and broken. Just publish xml so real programmers can build. |
|
[2012-07-07] Martin: Um... Why is the iPhone version so much better? Now this app won't even let me select a station. Wish I could give zero stars... Please try harder to get this up to iPhone standard |
|
[2012-07-05] Jason: Terrible app. Fix it. |
|
[2012-07-04] andrea: Unhelpful and buggy I downloaded this app to look up a train time for tomorrow morning. Such a simple thing to want to do, but I was unable to do it. The journey planner found the correct stations but hung on the search every time I tried. The actual timetable section would only tell me times for the current time onwards. There is no way to change it to an earlier time. Even when "show all scheduled" is selected. Petty useless app. Metlink should really fix this. |
|
[2012-07-03] Shane: Poor functionality Journey planner fails to load when using mobile data or Wi-Fi on my HTC desire S. |
|
[2012-07-03] Daniel Oliver: Oli Worst app on my phone hands down. Menu's too squashed and 90% of the time it doesn't even open. Ridiculous. |
|
[2012-07-03] Gigs: Still awful |
|
[2012-07-03] Nick: Abysmal Favourites don't work, no offline mode, looks like it was designed by a bunch of primary school students. Port the iPhone app please for the love of everything that is good, and put this abomination out of its misery. |
|
[2012-07-02] jason: JJ Since the update application error. Does the same on my galaxy s2. Fix the problem i miss it when it was working b4 this update |
|
[2012-07-02] Tim: Broken Used to work, now just shows the "waiting" icon forever. Use the website instead... At least it works. |
|
[2012-07-01] hfinger: Can't specify transport modes I wanted to go from Camberwell near Warrigal Road to Thornbury near High Street. App suggested a 903 bus to Heidelberg Station, thence to Flinders Street, and train to Thornbury Station. Better, quicker routes would have been: A) No. 70 tram to Riversdale Station, thence to the City Loop, Parliament, and No. 86 tram up High Street to Thornbury. B) Hartwell Station to the City Loop, Parliament, and No. 86 tram up High Street to Thornbury. The app seems to prioritise shortest walking time to nearest public transport -- bus, train, tram -- and then compiles a route. It should be looking at the overall time for several options and choosing the one that is quickest. The app does not allow you to specify which modes of transport to use, that is, combinations of bus, tram, train, and walking. If I could have forced it to use just trams and trains it might have given a better result. Needs a lot of work. |
|
[2012-07-01] Gigaplex: Journey planner doesn't work The journey planner just sits at a connecting screen indefinitely |
|
[2012-07-01] Christopher: Metlink Badly needs a more user-friendly design covering all public transport. |
|
[2012-06-30] dmacaulay: Sucks Used it for the first time in ages and the planner still doesn't work. No updates. As reliable as the trains are. An insult. |
|
[2012-06-30] Patrick: Just like the train service S**t!!!' |
|
[2012-06-29] Grant: Great app Very good, never had a problem with it. |
|
[2012-06-28] Chris : Craplink Ever since the system changed to PTV the journey planner function no longer works and is slow loading timetables |
|
[2012-06-28] Sam: Ahyya Loading...havent been patient enough to see if it works yet. |
|
[2012-06-27] David: Never works Never works |
|
[2012-06-27] Brunster: Favourites Gone I didn't mind this app - I mainly use set routes so I had these saved as favourites. This was fine until I upgraded to ICS. Now it says it saves my faves (they got lost in upgrade) but they don't save meaning the need to search from scratch everytime. Bollocks. |
|
[2012-06-27] Wenxuan: Laggy It's not that, bad rather laggy but does what it's meant to but I must say even the Symbian app is far better :| |
|
[2012-06-27] Christy: Journey planner doesn't work! I still remember that the journey planner had serval times work at the first, but now it always keeps loading and nothing found at the end! |
|
[2012-06-27] Rafae: Below average Waste of tome rather just use their website |
|
[2012-06-27] elias: Great help Love the support |
|
[2012-06-25] Victoria: Awful Apart from the fact find it awful to use, haven't managed to get Journey Planner to ever return a result. Just moved from IPhone to Android and found the Metlink app (before became PTV) great. |
|
[2012-06-25] Stuart: Poor Development It's clear to see that this app is no where near usable. Connection hangs on wifi, UI is boring and not optimized to take advantage of smartphones. A beta release? Seems more like an alpha release. |
|
[2012-06-25] Edward: absolutely horrible it doesn't work half the time and when it does it takes 20 minutes to find what you're looking for |
|
[2012-06-24] michael: Your kidding me What crap |
|
[2012-06-24] Harry: Metlink App Accurate times now (: |
|
[2012-06-24] Darren: Poor Can't use due to it displaying too small |
|
[2012-06-23] Orrin: Stopped working It was reasonably good originally, but its doesn't even work properly anymore. |
|
[2012-06-23] Dan: well.... this app isn't as bad as all the negative reviews say. it's much much WORSE! I recommend trying offi or Melbourne train trapper |
|
[2012-06-23] G: What a terrible app The functionality of this app is ridiculous. I wouldn't even bother downloading. Shame on PTV for recently supplying iPhone users with a rebuild of their 'original' app while leaving Android users with this POS. Not only is the train service terrible, there's an app which complements it to a tee- typical! |
|
[2012-06-22] Horas: Not working |
|
[2012-06-21] Horse: Slow This app could be very useful but at the moment it is very slow to connect and often will not connect at all |
|
[2012-06-20] Anonymous: Terrible Can't even look up departures, journey planner takes forever to load. This app is woeful |
|
[2012-06-19] Bella: Useless Error message whenever I try to use anything. Do not reccomend |
|
[2012-06-19] Jessielea: Metlink Every time I have tried to use this app it has taken so long I've given up..easier ways to get that information! |
|
[2012-06-19] Tobias: Nothing works Constant crashes, no timetables, impossible to add favourite stops, terrible app! |
|
[2012-06-18] Dylan: Awful Journey planner is useless. I can't remember the last time it has gotten past the "connecting" symbol. Poorly designed. Faster to just go on the pt website. |
|
[2012-06-18] ccworld: Bad quality It really needs to be improved |
|
[2012-06-18] Levi: Spending money You spend millions of dollars on your stupid myki system which dosny even work and you can't spend a few thousand for a decent app that will actually work for the users of public transport that use Android |
|
[2012-06-18] joshr: Rubbish. I feel sorry for any tourists or visitors to Melbourne that have to put up with trying to use this, completely unreliable, needs to be updated or take off the play store. |
|
[2012-06-18] Luke: Bad ui Can the data just be shared with google already. This app require so many clicks to do the most basic of functions |
|
[2012-06-17] Lookz: Doesn't function anymore No update nor improvement has been made :( it was working barely minimum acceptably fine before.. they wpuld need to publish their data so google can use it |
|
[2012-06-17] Sandi: Does not work!! The only reason i downloaded was for the journey planner.. And have not been able to use it because it does not work, just sits on processing |
|
[2012-06-16] Scott: Terrible Doesn't even work on ICS. When will PTV end its hate of all things Android? |
|
[2012-06-15] Anthropic: Pls buy or support Train Trapper? Makes "Train Trapper" look like gold plated AWESOME. This is just a website pretending to be an app. And doing it badly. You need to sack who designed it and get a usability expert involved. |
|
[2012-06-15] Anonymous: Poor This app is useless!! It either takes 10 minutes to click a link or it doesnt work at all. This app is even worse than Metlinks transport service itself.. So this must be very very crap. This is annoying since I use public transport ALOT and having to go on the Internet on my phone, going to the official metlink site, loading the timetables is such a drainer!!! Please fix it |
|
[2012-06-14] Grant: Abysmal Disappointment Absolutely terrible app. Use Melbourne Train Trapper instead, at least the developer cares, provides updates and knows what their doing. |
|
[2012-06-14] Muscle Factory: What's with the hate? After reading the reviews and then testing it out myself.,the reviewers are blind or have some sort of agenda. App is decent and better than train zapper or the internet site. |
|
[2012-06-14] the 6/15/2012 This sucks. Fail. |
|
[2012-06-13] bob: Terribly designed Useless! The text is so small that I can't even click on the box to type the destination address. Definitely needs a ux designer. |
|
[2012-06-13] Zombie: Awful The worst app l have ever used. I prefer to use Train Trapper. The UI appears to have been created for a childs info-tech project in year 5. It's no wonder it's still in beta! |
|
[2012-06-13] Frank: OMG Hire Train Trapper dev, he wil change this app from a stinker to a twinkler with 5 stars |
|
[2012-06-13] Peter: Unusably small on galaxy nexus So small it can't be read and it can be zoomed on the galaxy nexus Google phone. Useless. |
|
[2012-06-13] Stuart: . Favorites don't stay, can't download maps. Poor |
|
[2012-06-13] Samantha: Horrible Worst public transport app ever. |
|
[2012-06-12] Ana Lieschen: Dreadful Horrific app. Impossible to use. Not only does the journey planner not load (not even when using wifi) but how can you show timetables in a more confusing and irrelevant manner?! I was happy with the setup of the iPhone app but the one for android is just shocking. |
|
[2012-06-12] Richard: Useless iphone version much better |
|
[2012-06-10] rondo: very ordinary very sluggish interface, took too long to search routes, this app needs a revamp |
|
[2012-06-09] pekeri: Execution dreadful This app is utterly hopeless. It is clumsy & chews my data allowance with absolutely NO RESULT when I use the journey planner. Concept good, execution dreadful. The spinning 'connecting' wheel was frustrating and never ending. I went online, searched for, found & downloaded Train Trapper. Started, got relevant timetables, used the app & got results before stopping the metlink app with still no result from it! It stinks! |
|
[2012-06-08] Anne: Not good enough Needs to improve to how apple uses it |
|
[2012-06-08] Ed: Should be better Google Maps knows exactly where I am yet this app has no idea. Should be so much better. The iPhone app worked almost flawlessly yet the Android app seems like a minor side project that was an afterthought. |
|
[2012-06-06] Jake: Two stars too many! Rubbish! Fc while sending feedback sitting on a tram metlink says doesn't exist. Even the route isn't on there. Maybe it's the tram to hell. |
|
[2012-06-05] Morten: Just pooooooooooor!! It is free and I feel ripped off. Enough said. |
|
[2012-06-05] Gaurav: Copy iOS metlink |
|
[2012-06-04] MickyG: A start Finally Been waiting for this, still needs work but at least we have a start |
|
[2012-06-03] the 6/4/2012 Been connecting for 5 mins Wasting my time |
|
[2012-06-02] Snapbacks: Worst. Worst app. How can this even be published.. |
|
[2012-06-01] Anonymous: Horrible Very bad app.. Disapointed.. |
|
[2012-05-31] Tom: Never connects Great app if it ever connected |
|
[2012-05-31] Lachie: . Horrible. Doesn't allow favourites. |
|
[2012-05-30] Patrick: Promising but so much more to do! This app needs to work better than the website or there isn't any point. At a minimum you should be about to cache locally the timetables (perhaps with auto-update?) and should be able to save a favourite 'journey planner' with 'leaning now', rather than a specific time. |
|
[2012-05-28] jason: Has potential, but its too slow, a bit too fiddly, and needs ti remember locationss in journey planner |
|
[2012-05-27] wik: Journey planner No longer works Journey planner No longer works. hangs |
|
[2012-05-27] abbb: Rubbish This is useless at best |
|
[2012-05-27] Mandy: Very poor app! Takes longer to load than doing it thru google, no up to data info, waste |
|
[2012-05-25] Farshid: Worthless The most frustrating and annoying app ever used, it hardly works, it just seuss connecting and doesn't go anywhere after that, someone surely can do better than this, anything will be better than this. |
|
[2012-05-25] hung: .... Why couldn't this be as the ios version.. Much more user friendly and better interface |
|
[2012-05-25] Paul: Disgrace How can this joke of an app still be in beta? This is shameful that my tax dollars cannot even produce a decent app. But then again our Liberal premier probably doesn't use public transport so its obviously not a priority. Pathetic and incompetent management. |
