User Reviews

Reviews show the app was once reliable and helpful for Metra schedules and ETAs but now suffers from recurring issues: no real-time delay updates, slow loading, intrusive ads, security concerns around card verification, and hard-to-read color/UI changes. Users highlight diminished functionality after updates, with some noting missing features and broken schedules. Top recurring points are lack of real-time info, performance problems, ads/security risks, and readability/UI issues.

Pros

Longstanding reliability and trust among Metra travelers.
Historically useful for checking arrivals and planning trips.
Widely used and familiar tool for Metra riders.

Cons

No longer shows real-time delays or updated ETAs; only static schedules are displayed.
Slowness and loading failures; the app can be very slow or not load at all.
Intrusive ads and ad loops that disrupt usage (bottom ads and loops when selecting times).
Security concerns related to account verification and potential scam behavior around card data.
UI/readability issues due to color scheme changes (hard to read yellow/gray contrast and other color updates).

Recent reviews

This was a great app for a long time, but about a month ago something broke with the link to schedules for the Chicagoland Metra and hasn’t been addressed. Fix please!

Was once extremely useful, but recently has been incredibly slow. At one point this app would have up to date service alerts for delays and cancellations but that stopped months ago. It takes 5 minutes to pull the schedule up now.

If you need a quick look to check an arrival time so you can reserve an uber you may have to head elsewhere, not that there is anywhere to go, Metra’s train tracker is awful. Recently slow to load or not loading at all. And now 10 minutes off for one departure.
