User Reviews

EL Tracker is highly praised for its strong widget support and clean UI, with reliable, up-to-date CTA data. The app shines for its map view, quick access, and Chicago-focused design. Common drawbacks are widget reliability (updates sometimes lag), occasional data loading issues, and the absence of bus data in the widget (with bus support planned). Overall, users love the app and want continued widget improvements and broader transit coverage.

Pros

Widget support is a game-changer, providing live arrivals for nearby stations and quick access from the home screen.
Clean, fast, intuitive UI with a CTA-like design and easy customization.
Data is accurate and up-to-date, pulled directly from the CTA, with reliable arrival times and no paywalls/ads.
Useful map view and live tiles that update smoothly, making it easy to see departures.
Lightweight, Chicago-focused design that shows only what you want and feels reliable.

Cons

Widget updates can lag or fail, sometimes requiring a manual refresh.
Occasional data loading failures reported by users.
Lack of bus data in the widget; bus tracker is not yet available there, with bus support planned.

Recent reviews

Great app! Use it multiple times daily. Unfortunately, the most recent update appears to have broken the readability of widget text. In my case I'm using dark, grayscale icons on the homescreen (iOS 18 feature) and recently the text appears white against a white background. I can't read any information on direction or arrival time. Please fix!
