Must have for GO Train commuters. This app rocks - I am using it on my iPad (please make an iPad version!) This is a very easy to use and convenient app for looking up GO status and schedules.

DAMMMMMMMMMMMN!! . Do you use the GO? If you answered yes, why haven't you already downloaded this app. You really can't get a more functional app, not even if Metrolinx made it themselves... It has GO delays, the departure gate boards in Union, and schedules all in real-time. 'Nuff said, BUY IT!

Excellent replacement. I like this app and it is a very good replacement for the Go Transit App... from how many years ago now? I tried using it again, to see if I could remember how it functions and there seems to be a problem, with choosing a scheduled route, from point A to point B. For example: I usually travel on the Lakeshore West line and it is my main transportation from getting to point A to point B and I also use VoiceOver on my iPhone, to do what I can with the app. However, it does not allow me to choose a route easily and it de-faultes to the Acton, which is nowhere near where I live, comparitively speaking, within the Go Transit boundry. Hopefully you can take a look at that and fix this pesky bug. Otherwise, keep up the great work and I'm sure you are always updating and improving the app and you should be commended for it.

User-hostile. Mainly want to use the plain vanilla schedule. Frustrating to just find it among the other useless “features”

Great app. The fact that GO Train doesn't have an app still is mind boggling. This is a great app to have so you can plan ahead for your trip, easy to use and it allows you to see return trips at the same time.

Not updating. Hi I love this app but the schedules have not updated since end of August.

Love this app. I love this app and it is the only one I use when planning Go trips. I like the way I can easily search between two stations for a particular day and then have all the options show up in one list, showing me when they depart and arrive. Lists are easy to read, and the app doesn’t distract with useless graphics or force me to choose a specific time for travel (as some other apps do). The schedules are updated regularly to ensure accuracy. I really hope they never change this app! It’s perfect.

Opportunity to update. Love this app, used it for years - thank you! Opportunity to update Bus Terminal has new location and is attached to Scotia Bank arena via skywalk Thanks!

Platforms broken. Love this app but wish they would fix the platforms page. It worked in the past but hasn’t since I started taking the go again. Please fix this feature as it’s one I use all the time! Will change to 5-star once it’s fixed.

Unreliable!. Alway late and service is very slow. Also frequency of trains is very bad. Same service level on weekdays from the 1990’s

App not working. Loved this app however it hasn’t been working for a few days. Won’t update

Scam Alert. Do not download/pay for this app. Last updated Sept 2021. Should be removed from App Store

Worth it. So useful

Decent but bland. I like the features but iGo Toronto is prettier, could use a map/ some colour

One and only app you will ever need. This is the only you will ever need, if you are a go rider. Believe me the developer of this app is always updating and bug fixing this app. I have never had an issue with this app. Always updating on the current conditions. Some times better than GO switchboard. Bought this app about 10 years ago and I'm still a big fan. My day doesn't start without first looking at the this app and conditions of go transit. Don't waste your money on any other app. Now already buy the app now. Don't make me twist your arm. Update September 2019 Developer please change the colour scheme back to the older version where buses routes were WHITE and trains were GREEN. New update is all green can’t tell if we are to take bus or train it’s really confusing. Please and thank you.

Union platform broken. Useless until fixed

Needs work. Good idea, but schedule finder is hard to use and misses big routes like Hamilton QEW bus. I'd like to see schedule lists and tables, and some better search system

Potentially Perfect. Many of the other reviews have already pinpointed the main flaws, but not all. First, the schedules [contrary to what is being promised] are not always up to date, and some schedules [like service on Sundays for certain routes] are completely empty. There has to be major focus on the schedules and you need to allow us to update them frequently or manually [assuming we're connected to 3G or WiFi]. Second, and this is not a bug fix, it would be beyond helpful to let us purchase our tickets/passes directly from the app. There are endless possibilities for how this can work: we can show the bus drivers the ticket on our iPhone, or we can have the tickets/passes emailed to us so we can print them, and so on. Third, you guys need to put "user" back into user-friendly, as the app's interface/options altogether are just way too limited for what the app is actually capable of. This is a major transportation service that is taking over the country, and you need to seriously think twice before releasing an app that has so much potential but only fulfills less than half of that potential at the moment. I don't use it yet because I can't depend on the schedules' accuracy. Please work on this app seriously, because there are many GO lovers [like myself] who are prepared to take full advantage of it.

Broken. Union station platform info doesn’t refresh. It’s the most important station on the line. Fix it please.

I was lost and now I'm not :). I barely use the GO, but the last time I was heading to a TFC game I was sure glad I found this app! I had no idea where to leave from, how long it would take, or where I'd have to transfer and when. His app made my trip seamless. If you're a GO newby this is definitely a BIG help. Now, if only you could buy digital tickets on iPhone.... :-/ Great job folks!

They charged for this useless tool? Here are some problems needing fixing. This is my second try with the GO Transit App. The first one was free but it never once worked for me and always crashed) Since I use GO Transit regularly, I decided to try again and pay the 99 cents for the second version. What a waste of 99 cents. Here are the problems I see in the first few minutes: 1. If you don't know the exact time of the departure, it will tell you there is no departure at all 2. If you look at the entire day schedule (example: Union to Hamilton) - half the schedule is missing. It starts with the 4 departures right after midnight, then skips right through to 3:15pm. All the morning departures between 6 and 3pm are missing. Why do they launch these things with they work so poorly, let alone expect us to pay for something so useless?

Another horrible GO app. It will not get off of April 7th 2023, even though it is Feb 2024.

Way better than the one created by Ryerson!. Not hating on Rye High. I went there. But this app is far better. I've used them both and prefer this because it is easier to navigate and much more user friendly. It also shows quick tables.

Go train app. Great schedules for bus and train. Perfect resource for gta people. Developer adds good stuff as it is available

Clear, accurate, reliable. Best GO Transit app in my view - prefer it to all competitors. Programmer provides excellent customer service and fast updates.

Almost useless whiteout non-Union St information. As many have mentioned, the app stopped providing information for stations other than Union St. Not very useful. I’ll be happy to start using it again and change my review if this is ever fixed.

Lack of details. Miss the feature from on old App that would list all the trains on a line and list Express and non-Express

Not much use. Does not load union platform numbers faster than the boards at union. We're still left staring like dogs at steak. I would have liked to use this to beat the rush onto the platform.

24-hour platform time is off by exactly 10 hours. Good app overall though!

Reliable and accurate. Good simple app. No extra ads or frills, exactly what you need to get from a to b. Highly recommended!

Reliable app with accurate times. Ive been using this app daily for years to plan my trip to and from work and it hasn’t let me down yet. I would like to know what the red and green bars on the left hand side of each trip in the scheduling screen mean though? DEVS?

Favorites always disappear. Fav routes always disappear once you turn off phone. Very annoying and waste of time

Great app. Nice app. My only complaint is that the train platform isn’t available ahead of time.

Not worth it. Plan your trip doesn’t work just like the online version

Grateful this app exists!. I've used this app for close to 2 years and it's come a long way in interface and usability. Can't do without it especially when you're out in the cold and far out. Thank you guys!

App is not working! It only shows union station.. App is not working! It only shows union station.

Union Platform info still broken. Union Station platform info doesn’t work, been broken for a while.

DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS APP!. The schedule on the AP is not updated well at least for my schedule I’ve missed the train several times checking this schedule. Followed the schedule to make sure I catch my train to realize I missed it and the schedule on the boards at the station don’t match what it’s says. Just stating this because I wouldn’t mind if it was a free app but it’s not.

Used to love this app but location services no longer works. I used this app daily for my commuting needs. However, I’ve realized lately that I can only see platforms at union and no where else. I used to be able to select the little button at the top right to select “locate” and switch to whatever station I was at. Now I just get “you do not have permission” which I’m confused by because I purchased this app YEARS ago and never had any issues before. Wondering if this a glitch? Would be great if it could be resolved.

Essential. This app is essential if you use GO Trains regularly- or irregularly. It’s astonishing that GO doesn’t provide a schedule app, but this does very nicely. The interface gets better every year.

Great app. I really like this app. It's accurate and very detailed. The bus route numbers have been added which helps a lot. Thanks for listening ti suggestions.

Good start.... The union status board page alone is worth the $0.99 for me so I don't have to crowd around the concourse screens. Just make the fonts bigger and/or add an option to filter for "favourite routes" or only trains in the next hour or two. (I'm sure Appleby passengers don't care much about the Pickering trains and vice versa).

Disappointed. Used to use it throughout my uni years, was incredibly helpful. No longer works, you cannot select the correct platform to check the info of. Not worth it.

I depend on this App! :^). I find this app to be much handier to use than GO's website (which still doesn't have a mobile version!?!). Whether I'm at my desk, at the bus stop or at home I can count in this app for quick, complete info. Some difficulties I've had have been due to my own lack of understanding the app. I've emailed the developer for help on several occasions and have always received quick, helpful tips. Some improvements I've asked for have been implemented, e.g. bus route numbers (not for me, they were already working on them). Five stars for when they can work in a way to type the first letter of a stop, or search for it using text. Looking forward to more improvements and happy use!

Schedule not updated. Warning! The schedule is not updated for planned cancelations. Still need the website, making the app useless.

This has been my GO to app for years. Why GO transit doesn’t have an app is a big surprise! Thankfully this has been around for years. Thank you for making this! Well worth it!

Station platform locator not working. I’ve used this app for years, but the platform search function for all other stations outside of Union station does not work no matter how much permissions I’ve allowed it. Please fix, I would hate to subscribe to another app after becoming comfortable with this one.

My go to app for a few years now!. Been using it when I had my iPhone X, and now on the iPhone 14 pro and the app is still amazing and just works! Especially when you have to quickly find bus/train times.

Hey devs pls add this function. Idk if devs read these reviews but it would be cool if beside each train it would show what track the train appeared on last. Obviously it is subject to change which is why you cannot just write tracks but it would be nice to have the previous tracks for the time slot of the day before

Good app for intercity travelor. Buy this app if you travel daily, would be batter is can add favorite route

Quite Simply: Indispensable. I’m always ‘on the Go’ and I rely on this app so much. It always works perfectly and provides the info I need - rapidly, intuitively and efficiently. Nicely done, developers!
