[2012-03-16] Kelly: Great App. Thank you! So far the only app I've paid for. Really makes my life easier! |
|
[2012-03-04] Scott: The Best Tracker Out There! Does a remarkable job of predicting the unpredictabilty of Chicago Public Transit. |
|
[2012-03-02] Dandrea: So handy. First app I downloaded on my new phone. I love it, so accurate, save my life when I was coming home late from work at late hours of the night. |
|
[2012-03-01] Rene: i owe u my gratitude this developer's commitment to app is key. Thanks for getting me to the train on time everyday. |
|
[2012-02-25] carlton: Developer is AWESOME!! :-) This app is great! I've never had any problems at all and the only reason i'm ever late is cause i'm being lazy. But the best part is the developers sense of humor..he is continuously cracking me up! Keep up the good work! |
|
[2012-02-22] boheme407: Great App-persistent bug This is the best app I've found for CTA tracking. It's easy to use, thorough, and has a variety of features. However, I'm having an issue with any routes I set up in the Trek Tracker module (ie those that aren't already set up in My Treks). Half the time, my screen freezes and says, "loading" and I can neither change anything, nor go back. Sometimes this lasts for several minutes, and thus somewhat negates the purpose of an app that one uses to get immediate results. Help? Thanks! |
|
[2012-02-20] Decko: Great App I hate the cta but this app makes it bearable. Maybe work on the UI? Then I'd give it 5 stars. :) |
|
[2012-02-18] Bill: Worthless Can't even get the bus schedule on this app. I want a refund |
|
[2012-02-15] Jeremiah: Excellent As someone that lives a bit in the burbs the Pace bus schedule is completely necessary. The dev is super communicative and receptive to suggestions and has tane a few i offered, he tells me, that will make this program even more outstanding. If you live anywhere Pace, Metra, CTA busses and CTA trains, you should get this app. |
|
[2012-02-12] Thee: Good I dont see much different then the regular free one but worth the 3 dollars since it did wonders for months now |
|
[2012-01-11] rikrdo3: Unhappy... This is an awesome app! I use it everyday, but how come I don't see ads for it anywhere? I bet if you get some advertising it will be great! |
|
[2011-12-19] Don: Perfection... Thanks for fixing the Metra bug kind sir! Samsung Fascinate |
|
[2011-11-13] Josh: Everything I Need Best app for commuters who use CTA, Pace, and Metra. Predictions are always accurate, and the app is extremely stable. |
|
[2011-11-11] Darien: Darien If you're a CTA regular then this app is a MUST HAVE!!! Arrival times are usually always on point, and being able to group treks is great. G2 |
|
[2011-11-11] Justin: Best Chicago app -- must have Definitely the most useful and must have app on the market if you live in Chicago. Always accurate. Added metra support after asking too. |
|
[2011-11-09] Adam: Outstanding! Does everything you need for public transportation. |
|
[2011-11-09] Dave: Good integration Niiiiiice metra integration. |
|
[2011-11-07] mistashaap: Great, but Now When I open the app it gives me an error message that says cannot verify beta status. Then it closes. Can you help? Thanks! |
|
[2011-11-05] ExD: It slices, it dices, it also makes me dinner on the way home from the CTA! Just needs a button for beer delivery anytime anywhere! |
|
[2011-11-04] Joshua: Pretty good Would love a widget.. Have some issues with the accuracy of pace buse times |
|
[2011-11-03] Cheryl: Features Fantastic functionality, does more than any other app, responsive developer. Interface requires tons of keystrokes, is the only drawback. |
|
[2011-10-27] Michele: Very useful! App is great. Of course it is as good as the data provided by CTA. The developer's comments are hilarious, triggered by some dimwitted users. |
|
[2011-10-18] Alice: I just love this app. I use & rely on it daily! |
|
[2011-10-14] Philip: Love it! Very very helpful. Bus tracker is great! And only $3 for so much functionality! Thank you! |

|
[2011-10-13] Jay: Rez Mobile needs to win an award! I have used this app since day one! This is by far the best CTA tracker! Please keep up the great work. |
|
[2011-10-12] Weixu.Lu: Great app. it's very thoughtful that dev replies to each comment, but somehow annoying when each time notification comes up when app launches. |
|
[2011-10-01] Larry: Great but NO new update in over a month. I've loved this app since day 1, and while I can appreciate minor updates that may or may not be improving overall performance I just want a widget. |
|
[2011-09-20] Rafal: Grate application |
|
[2011-08-16] MarkitoMagic: Worst App Ever This app always helps me to be on time! Who does this guy think he is? Going around creating a useful app that helps people. I am punctual now, thx :( |
|
[2011-08-15] beth: Love it!!! I have never had an issue. Droid X user. Gets me where I need to go. Thx. |
|
[2011-08-10] Bill: More lik 2 1/2 stars I don't use it that much but very slow to update and often freezes. |
|
[2011-08-01] Jeff: Excellent app. It has helped me catch countless buses in the more than a year I have used it, and now L trains too. |
|
[2011-08-01] mattcoz: Great app, can't live without it, but... lately it has been very very slow on my phone, doesn't respond for seconds after opening a group. |
|
[2011-07-23] Jamie: This is, hands down, the best CTA tracking app that currently exists. Plus, the developer's snarky comments are an extra bonus. |
|
[2011-07-19] JP: Far more accurate for me than Chicago Transit Tracker. Also, the developer is excellent at responding to questions and feedback. |
|
[2011-07-18] Alberto: Best app in the market works great |
|
[2011-07-17] ag: Very useful app. Wish it included Metra. Love snarky developer. Please buy app so developer can by Yoohoo to decrease snarkiness... |
|
[2011-07-16] Aron: I probably could live without this app, but I'd rather not. |
|
[2011-07-13] Zach: TreKing decides which Brown Line stop I take to catch the soonest bus. Like Colt 45, it works every time! |
|
[2011-07-11] Daniel: Love it. Great app, great dev support, works as described |
|
[2011-07-09] Antonio: This is a great app I would like it to follow trains better especially on Loop Elevated trains. |
|
[2011-07-07] Kevin: This app is five stars and the snarky commentary should make it a 6! Carry on good sir! |
|
[2011-07-03] Tyler: Good app |
|
[2011-06-28] Christopher: This app does what it says, love beating my buddies when it comes time to look up an eta |
|
[2011-06-27] Zach: Great app, stable, developer puts out constant updates, easy to back up settings if you flash new roms often. |
|
[2011-06-25] paulbaker: I've been using TreKing every single day for several months now. It is the best CTA app for Android. Latest version has real time L train predictions! |
|
[2011-06-18] Nic: I converted my T-Mobile HD2 to boot on Android and taking is now displaying the wrong schedule time. AM for a PM. |
|
[2011-06-13] Marissa: I love this app. It's very accurate. I also now know how much time I have to pee before catching the bus. This is always a plus. Ha! Thanks! Love it! |
|
[2011-06-10] Michael: The developer's snarky replies to users who give unfounded poor star ratings is worth the purchase price alone! |
|
[2011-06-09] Steve: I love this App! I really like this app but I have two suggestions that will change my 4 stars to 5 stars. 1.) Metra routes would be nice. I was very disappointed that Metra is not part of this app. Please add this. 2.) Not as big of a deal as my #1 suggestion but destination arrival times would be nice. Thanks for the great app and I look forward to future improvements! |
|
[2011-06-07] David: Crashes all the time! When it does work, it often fails to refresh, which leads to inaccurate information. Absolute crap! |
|
[2011-06-02] Kevin: I use this app every day and it's definitely the best for cta. Train tracker doesn't let devs have data yet; read the description. Well worth the $$ |
|
[2011-06-01] MrTrump: Use it every single day. Dev very responsive. |
|
[2011-05-30] re: Terrific app! Makes my life a lot easier. Can't wait until the el info is available too. Rock on! |
|
[2011-05-28] James: Decent app, but I find the Google Maps transit function to be much easier to use. This app can be confusing, I wish it was more user-friendly. |
|
[2011-05-26] Julie: Did like this app a lot, but after posting a neutral comment about the app, i got a nasty lecture from the developer. Dont bother asking for help! :( |
|
[2011-05-16] Q: Please read the description, live train tracking isn't available yet! CTA hasn't released the api to developers |
|
[2011-04-16] Todd: Train tracker wont keep up to date live with trains just get the free app essentially same thing |
|
[2011-04-12] Eric: Working beautifully now that the Google locator service isn't crashing constantly. |
|
[2011-04-09] Emily: I've been using this app for 9mos. BEST APP I've EVER used. It makes my life (which is dependant on buses and the el) so much easier!! I <3 TreKing! |
|
[2011-04-09] E: I've been using this app for 9mos. BEST APP I've EVER used. It makes my life (which is dependant on buses and the el) so much easier!! I <3 TreKing! |
|
[2011-04-07] Diane: Need arrival time |
|
[2011-04-05] brian: Great app, would be better if it could cure athletes foot. |
|
[2011-04-03] Amir: Cool developer. 5 stars |
|
[2011-03-30] Jeremy: This app is worth moving to Chicago for. It cured my athletes foot as promised by the developer. |
|
[2011-03-30] the architect: Pretty sure this app is the only thing better than pizza in Chicago. |
|
[2011-03-29] michaelfly: Awesome app, does as advertised. 5 stars with widget. Will email dev with wishlist. His blog is funny. Epic 4G |
|
[2011-03-24] Kevin: This app rocks! I am hoping I get a response to annoy all this haters that dislike getting the responses to comments.... |
|
[2011-03-23] B3T0: great application |
|
[2011-03-23] larry : I've loved this app since day 1, and while I can appreciate minor updates that may or may not be improving overall performance I just want a widget. |
|
[2011-03-23] Hunberto: great application |
|
[2011-03-23] Scott: I love this app works perfectly. |
|
[2011-03-23] Jason: I would be lost without this app worth the 3 bucks. |
|
[2011-03-22] TomMcD: Used TrekKing 4 free for awhile, upgraded to support development. Hope the author can incorporate the new CTA train tracker data. |
|
[2011-03-20] Shauna: Fast, convenient, easy to use. |
|
[2011-03-19] Matthew: Has arrival timetable ests 4 train but lazy devel didn't include trip length ests based on avail tables! 5 strs if improved. Dev cmmts flood app. |
|
[2011-03-19] Tiana: Great App!! And the commentary makes my mornings! |
|
[2011-03-18] Rodney: Can you. make a widget. For this.app |
|
[2011-03-18] rodney: Can you. make a widget. For this.app |
|
[2011-03-18] Sky: Data is only made useful through presentation. Out of 100s tried, this is my #1 app. When trains leaves beta, it'll be worth double. I need more star! |
|
[2011-03-17] Tony: Best app for Chicago CTA, hands down. |
|
[2011-03-13] Adrian: Dev is halarious :) works great for taking the bus. |
|
[2011-03-13] mudhoney: Great app! Many useful features. 5 stars from me if scheduling or Tasker support is added. |
|
[2011-03-10] Iulia: The developer was extremely helpful with any concerns I had |
|
[2011-03-09] Playfulnserious: The app is great. I don't think it is worth responding to people with unrealistic comments. That is the only thing I would change |
|
[2011-03-08] Manashi: Win |
|
[2011-03-07] Cheezit: 135 northbound at Jackson and Franklin is never right. CTA seems right, though. Not bad, aside from that. |
|
[2011-03-01] CPW: Please consider adding ability for user to create custom notes for each trek. Thanks |
|
[2011-03-01] Sarahsue: This app is awesome. |
|
[2011-02-24] MrTrump: No point in upgrading from free. RTA not used in trip planner and train times NEVER right. Shows bus stops and arriving busses sporadically. |
|
[2011-02-23] Tom: Northbound blue line from Clinton is incorrect in the morning. No train comes at 635 as it claims. 630 and 640 are more realistic. |
|
[2011-02-23] Thomas: Northbound blue line from Clinton is incorrect in the morning. No train comes at 635 as it claims. 630 and 640 are more realistic. |
|
[2011-02-22] Elizabeth: I am a PACE bus user and I take buses for everything. Its absolutely wonderful so far and clean looking (better than the online one) |
|
[2011-02-21] Marissa: Great app! Works perfect! |
|
[2011-02-20] Icebergslim3000: Dev puts stupid commenters on blast so dont low ball his ratings because you're an idiot |
|
[2011-02-19] Candice: Almost eliminates the frustration of using the CTA If this app cost several hundred dollars I'd be saving my pennies. Can't imagine how I ever managed without it. |
|
[2011-02-15] dasfisch: This app is amazing. The only issue is I wish it showed what bus stop buses are at. it's still a five without it. |
|
[2011-02-15] sebastian: This app is amazing. The only issue is I wish it showed what bus stop buses are at. it's still a five without it. |
