## Description

Transit.Tracker is the go-to navigation companion for city travel. It helps you locate nearby transit stations, view scheduled stops, and see upcoming departures with two taps. Real-time vehicle locations and predicted arrival times are shown wherever data is available, across multiple metro areas.

Plan trips with the built-in Trip Planner, save stops for the Today Widget and Watch App, and enjoy an ad-free experience with Pro Upgrade (token purchase is required for the Trip Planner). The app supports a broad list of service agencies, including major systems like BART, CTA, MBTA, MTA, and more.

## Review summary

A majority of reviews complain that Transit.Tracker fails to provide real-time transit data, with inaccurate or missing arrival times, and often shows incorrect routes or locations. Users also complain about heavy, intrusive ads and paywalls that block access to maps and schedules. Several reports flag privacy concerns, including prompts to enter credit card details for a free app and even scam-like charges. Additional recurring issues include mislinked routes after service changes, unreliable performance requiring repeated re-downloads, and a frustrating user interface for switching between map and schedule. Overall, reliability and data accuracy are major pain points.

### Cons

- No real-time tracking or inaccurate arrival times; app often fails to show trains or buses.
- Long, non-skippable ads and paywalls obstruct access to maps and schedules.
- Privacy concerns: prompts for credit card details for a free app and reports of charges.
- Map and route data inaccuracies: locations, stops, or cities shown incorrectly.
- Reliability issues: outages, outdated routes after changes, and need to reinstall or update repeatedly.
