User Reviews

Users praise TfL Go for straightforward London transit navigation, easy stop lookup, and planning multi-leg routes, with some strongly recommending it to visitors. However, recurring issues include UK/Europe geographic restrictions that block account setup and Oyster top-ups from abroad, frequent security blocks and login failures, frequently inaccurate routing and unreliable live bus data, and general stability problems that cause crashes or require reinstalls. Planning ahead is limited to today, further reducing usefulness for trips. Overall, navigation is helpful, but reliability problems undermine its value for travelers.

Pros

Handy for navigating London transit with a simple interface.
Useful for locating tube stops, finding bus routes, and planning journeys.
Provides clear, precise guidance for multi-leg routes.
Strong positive sentiment with recommendations for visitors (e.g., 'Don’t visit London without it.')

Cons

Geographic restrictions block account setup and top-ups outside the UK/Europe, limiting travel use.
Automated security blocks and login failures prevent legitimate users from accessing their accounts.
Routing is often inaccurate or non-optimal, and live bus status data is unreliable or missing.
App stability issues: crashes, freezing, or requiring reinstall to function properly.
Planning ahead is limited: the app only shows journeys for today rather than future trips.

Recent reviews

App is useless. Cannot add visitor oyster card. Could not log in with existing TFL account used to buy the oyster card. Could not access TFL website from a mobile phone WHILE IN LONDON and NOT on a vpn to create a new TFL account. Finally had to turn on VPN and pretend to be in PARIS to create a new TFL account and log into the app, and then it would not let me add the oyster card even though a visitor oyster card is NOT one of the types listed as “you cannot use these types with the app.”

Even though the app can access my location in the UK it says I’m not in the UK because I’m on a US cellular plan so your IP traffic still originates from the US. This is a super stupid limitation.
