About RedEye Chicago

Not too many Chicago news apps will alert you when the latest sushi burrito craze arrives, when Riot Fest and Lolla announce their aftershow lineups, or when there's a new cute-baby-animal arrival at the Shedd (We <3 Luna). RedEye is the friend who tells you about the new and fun things to do in Chicago, while also helping you avoid looking like you live under a rock.

- Keep up to date on what to do and where to go in Chicago all. week. long.
- Save stories to read later (online or offline) because, let's be honest, trains tend to stall underground, amirite?
- Receive push notifications about the breaking news you actually care about
- Customize your app with only the news you want to see (aka hide the "real" news for celeb gossip or vice versa)

Why remove one of the best feature in your app?. Plus you cant move it to your sd card makes the app useless.

I70%

How does it use up 1gb of wireless data a month when it only downloads news!?!

Z70%
by Z####:

I experienced decent amounts of difficulty with putting info for at least one entry to the Free Stuff February. Although I was finally able to work around it a short time later, I felt quite frustrated with it in the end.

W70%
by W####:

I read your paper every day. If u are really a Chicagoan, RedEye is a must read

F70%
by F####:

Why did you get rid of the CTA tracker? I love the news stories but it's frustrating when I can't read them because an advertisement indefinitely consumes the page. That's a rookie error. And no response to all the inquires about the cta tracker being removed is unprofessional.

T70%
by T####:

This was my fav app because it included bus tracker and train tracker. Hopefully they put ut back soon. News addition is good tho

M70%
by M####:

Was unpleasantly surprised to find out I couldn't use this app for CTA transit tracking after an update. Was the only use I had for the app. Uninstalled.

N70%
by N####:

Best part about this app was the CTA tracker. Have no idea why they removed it with latest install, but in doing so, this is now an unnecessary app.

N70%
by N####:

You turned your app from something every Chicagoan needs to get around into just another news app.

What happened to the bus and train tracker.... I want the old version back

M70%
by M####:

I reccomended this app to all my friends to track the buses and trains but now since they've gotten rid of that feature it kinda sucks. Hopefully they restore it!

M70%
by M####:

This was my go-to bus/train tracker. Now that's gone completely and it's just a digital version of the Red Eye. Would give zero stars if possible.

M70%
by M####:

Please put the CTA tracker back I just reinstalled this app on a new phone and realized I couldn't find it! thank God for the ratings that let me know I wasn't going crazy and you guys removed it why would you do that?????? your app was awesome!!! on point!!! more than any other app.. why would you do that???? Please reconsider thank u

The only thing I use this app for is its train and bus tracker. Can't believe it's gone with the new update. Uninstalling.

M70%
by M####:

The only reason I used this app was for the CTA tracker. Without it, I have no use for it.

M70%
by M####:

What happened to the tracker? Only reason why I used this app every single day! Wtf

P70%
by P####:

Was a great app, but it doesn't work anymore and is now useless. No no news stories will open. Bus and train tracker often give you blank screens. Link to accept the "Gimbal privacy policy" will not work.

M70%
by M####:

Everytime I click on "news", there are no articles... none. Everthing else is there but News and Chicago News. So for now, until the news links are up and running, I will be picking up a physical copy on my way to work. And one more thing, this app version is not compatible with my Samsung android tablet. This needs to be addressed too.

Doesn't work

S70%
by S####:

This app hasn't been working on my phone a couple of months now. It crashes before it is even able to completely open. PLEASE FIX!!!

C70%
by C####:

Only thing that works is cta info and weather..

F70%
by F####:

The app is cool, but the adds are irritating. I get one hooters add from them every minute. I get that they're necessary for free apps, but this is too much

W70%
by W####:

I only get blank pages for Top Stories and Chicago News and everything gets crammed into Eat and Drink instead of Eat and Drink. Please fix, this is one of my favorite apps when working. Then I'll give you the 5 stars you deserve.

D70%
by D####:

It's close to a great app. If using it for cta bus tracking, you must refresh it by going in and out of the stop. Nice ui and more user friendly than ctas website on my phone, but wish it listed bus stop # so i could get more updated information from cta when I'm about to head out the door. It's again almost there with the food that's around. Great list and fast with giving me that list, but when I tried to get it to show up on his version of Google Maps it does not work. Might try again down the road

D70%
by D####:

I liked this app but now it doesn't work anymore. There are no news stories or anything. It's only good for tracking buses and trains but I use a different app for that

D70%
by D####:

Like/liked the app, but where are the stories?

D70%
by D####:

I read this at least once a week for critical CTA news.

D70%
by D####:

I downloaded this app to read the news. Unfortunately the links to 'Top News Stories', CTA 'Going Public', and 'Chicago News' all lead to a blank page. Maybe there's just no news out there to read.

D70%
by D####:

Go to any new page and it's blank.

D70%
by D####:

Compared many this app by far gives us much more then all the rest. A 4 out of 5 as still have some bugs to work out.

Q70%
by Q####:

Somehow I lost the ability to share articles from the app...when it used to work it took me to the web version of Facebook instead of using the app on the phone. FIX this issue!!

Q70%
by Q####:

Works relatively well, but any articles that are right above the ads at the bottom NEVER seem to load properly/are always blank. And sometimes those are the ones I really want to read!

Q70%
by Q####:

Used to be good, however, they got rid of the onscreen menu button. I have a Nexus 5, which doesn't have a menu button, and now the app is basically unusable. I can only access my favorite bus stops. Please fix this.
