I like the new method for specifying your starting and ending stations and the next 4 trains available however when there is a train cancellation it still tells me when it was cancelled at the end of the line, as opposed to my station. It is also placed in the same place as the list of 4 next trains so I could no longer see what the next train would be. You used to be able to click on the cancelled train and find the times for each station to work out when you would be affected, this is no longer available. No afternoon peak notifications ever. Morning works fine.

Metro don't seem to understand that many people travel from station A to B , and not by a particular line. In my case, if I want to see line information for East Richmond to Southern Cross, I have to select every line which stops at Richmond East and monitor separately. Also, I don't understand why this information can't just be in the PTV app. Just make one complete app, or make the information freely available elsewhere, like Google maps.

Should be able to set daily alerts at whatever time you need them. For example, I catch the train at 5am and many people these days work irregular hours or night shifts. Also would be good if this could be combined into the PTV app.

Nice app that does the job well. Light on battery use which is also good. What it really needs is the ability to tailor the travel times. I travel between 6am & 7am each morning so I don't want to know changes after then. I also travel home at 4pm which is the very start of the home travel period so alerts are no good to me by then.

The app used to be good. You used to be able to click on notifications and see them completely. Now when you click on the notification, it just opens up the up to your line and says its running a good service. I go to the actual web page of metro and it says the line is suspended until further notice. So unreliable.

Updates need to be able to be dismissed.... can't see details of next departures on my trips while the travel alert is active.... not helpful if the cancelled service is half an hour away and there are scheduled departures before then. Very annoying!!

Shows too much text for a notification but doesn't make it expandable - then when you go into the app there doesn't appear to be a way to see the full text either. Shows train times sometimes but just alerts other times. Has both a hamburger menu and a navigation bar. Doesn't let you choose a ringtone, so it'll ring/vibrate just like a text, despite being nowhere near as important, and you can't change it unless it's a feature of your ROM.

The worst service in the country alwats a train fault and delay happens every alternate day.. looks like the train accuracy chart and the train service chat is al rigged.

Still needs expandable notifications. At least full notification text pops up quickly after tapping a notification. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to expand an alert to see train times (if there are multiple alerts not in schedule order), that information is gone, so I know about cancellations, but not when the next train is expected.

So it notifies me that there are major delays but in the app claims the line service is good. This app is garbage. How on earth am I meant to know of the numerous and daily delays to the werribee line if the app and notifications contradict each other. I realise you're trying to make out you provide a good service but you don't. At least make the app honest and reflect the real status please.

I have this app set up to show notifications during peak times. It works in the morning, but I never get notifications of delays and cancellations in the evening. I also get the occasional random notification in the middle of the day about escalators and lifts not working in the City Loop.

One improvement that should be made is you should still be able to see the next train in "My Trips" even when there are current alerts. Really annoying that the next train disappears!

When you get a travel alert for a line it obscures the next four train view; therefore is not much good for replanning to get around the issue. Also it has departures for your line in cluding those which don't go as far as your nominsted home station. For example it lists all departures from Southern Cross for the Pakenham line even the ones which terminate at Dandenong even though you have specified Berwick ad your destination.

The app would be better if it provided afternoon updates and notifications. Morning notifications are no longer coming through meaning I'm not aware of issues until I arrive at the station which makes the app redundant

Brilliant app rendered useless by alerts which block trip information. Please resolve so I can add a few stars. Would be so much more useful than that other app for local train travel. Love that it can display all local departures when they're are no alerts (this is rare) so I could pick which station to walk to as I'm between two.

The most important feature of this app is glitchy. The notifications when sent do not open in full window which means that we can only see what's on the notification blue bar. Anything more than the blue is not accessible. Also there should be option of setting specific time for notifications instead of blocks.

Due to the unreliability of Melbourne trains it's important to be able to have an understanding of what's going on with the train lines. This app is rubbish for providing that understanding. If you're lucky enough to get an update on why your trains (plural - because it's never just one train...) have been cancelled expect it half an hour later from when it was actually relevant information. You're better off asking the station staff what's going on than relying on this app.

Useless when I don't know what time the next train is due if a travel alert is showing. Need the ability to dismiss an alert and view the schedule.

Only ever notifies at 6am saying there is good service. Have to manually check for updates after that, other than occasionally getting a notification mentioning lifts out of service at one of the city loop stations. Pretty useless, much like their train network.

Shows good service even when train is delayed over 30 minutes. Not worth having. A total waste of time.

Why? My station has Williamstown, Werribee and Laverton lines running through it. This app has no Laverton line. Frustrating. I know the times from memory but don't know if there are any delays on that line. Please add. And add capability to see next trains even when there is a delay notification. Thanks.

Can only specify notifications for peak times rather than my train. Nothing like getting into work then receiving 10 notifications about how the Belgrave line is now delayed. Renders the notify aspect completely useless, deleting app

I use this app all the time to check the statuses on the train lines I catch and see any disruptions so I can always plan my journey ahead.

It's great that it tells you when a line is delayed, but then it hides the time to the next train. Due to works all long weekend between 3 stations I had no idea what time my train was for work on Labour Day

Push notifications don't work or come through 20 minutes after the fact. Better off checking the website

if you can only read the first 6 words of it, and when going to the app, there's no other info? besides the info is at times hours late, and the app almost never is accurate. of course we keep it installed for the one in five chance that it actually works.

App is only useful if need random midday announcements about various escalators being broken or services outside your travel times. When it comes to actually notifying you about changes to your service that actually affect you its either slow to update or doesn't actually bring up a notification.

But doesn't tell me when services are bad. Wtf I used love it but now I have job and actually need to get to places on time.

Updates to trains only occurs after delays happen. Often delays aren't reported.

It's unclear initially that you need to select your journey per train line rather than simply start and finish destination like pvt journey planner. Also there should be an option to partially collapse line alerts to see next 5 trains rather than just next 1. Lastly, but most importantly, If I am able to take a journey from Richmond to South Yarra on about 3 different trains why am I unable to see all my options on this app? I want the ability to swipe sideways through my options

Regularly having issues reading the whole notification, so makes it difficult to actually know what trains are not running

Notifies me at extremely random times but never when my line is affected. Shows me notifications I can not fully read and then when I click on them and go to the app that notification is no where to be seen to read properly. Practically useless app that should be rolled into the PTV app any way.

Great app until somethings happened on a line then it's useless. Tells you what happened an hour ago that's no longer relevant and not what trains are departing which you actually need to know

The app privies reasonably prompt notification of outages and delays. Unfortunately it only allows you to record trips in one direction for the bodyguards which makes it a little confusing on travel direction when notifications pop up.

Notifications come thru up to one hour after they are time stamped, which makes this app just as unreliable as Metro's train service.

With the latest update i always get alerts but when selecting the link to go into the app, the alerts are never there. Super annoying!

Every since I got my new mobile with Android 6 Marshmallow, the push alerts no longer work. They still work on my old mobile that has Android 5.0.1 installed. Can this be fixed.

When tapping on notifications, they dissappear. No way to get to them again.

But doesn't tell me when services are bad. Wtf I used love it but now I have job and actually need to get to places on time.

On Android i can't figure out how to add a trip. It won't save my selection.
