About Tube Chaser

Unofficial Android client for the London Underground and DLR, Open Sourced under GPLv3.

Real-time Tube status and departures, quick access to station info from favourites and find stations by GPS.

Follow @tube_chaser on Twitter for latest updates.

PLEASE NOTE: Some stations are missing from the list, or no useful information is given. This is ALWAYS due to TfL's poor data, not Tube Chaser.

This mostly affects Hammersmith & City/Circle Line in West London, District line at Paddington, and some Metropolitan Line stations.

Tube map and London Overground support can't be included at this stage, due to ridiculous licensing costs from both TfL and National Rail Enquiries.

This does exactly what it says it should. Perfect for regular tube commuters... The addition of an offline map of the system would make it complete (even if only an image). Can't wait for the "pending" features!

X70%
by X####:

I have a number of tube apps but this is 'blows all the other out of the water'. It really is the best I've used.

S70%
by S####:

This app hasn't been updated since 2011; it's now May 2017 and, although the app now looks rather dated, I still haven't found an alternative app that does the job better.

Why does it have to have acces to my files? Just gps and thats it. Uninstalled

W70%
by W####:

SAXParseException. Either they changed the XSD or never worked. This occured for Woolwich Arsenal. Alas!

I70%
by I####:

It's such a great app to go on because I have to get the train from where I am to where I'm going to and I think that other people should give it a go cuz it's awesome

D70%
by D####:

For years this has worked well, getting me to platforms just as my train arrives. For 2 weeks now the information has been meaningless. All tube lines are apparently still closed for the night at 7:20 am, my train is 6 minutes away apparently as I watch it pull away from my platform just as I arrive. Annoying, it was good.

D70%
by D####:

Ive been using this app for years, amazingly accurate until recent months whereby it doesnt state the tube arrival times anymore.. bug or?

T70%
by T####:

Well done for the simplest of solutions to an annoying fact of life. Only improvement I could think of is adding in where on the train you should be to line up with the train platform exits!

D70%
by D####:

I think the dev may need to switch feeds - the one the app is using at the moment seems to be out of sync w reality...

B70%
by B####:

Wrong timetable, deleted the app

D70%
by D####:

Not fully accurate about closures

D70%
by D####:

This app used to be accurate but now it's always wrong. What happened?

U70%
by U####:

Simple, no fuss app. Very useful! A widget like the one in "London Bus Checker" would be a great addition. Also in departure board, tapping an individual train entry should then display all metadata for that train. Just suggestions, thanks!

U70%
by U####:

Shows the wrong times, made me go to wrong platforms and miss trains numerous times. Although it has a nice interface and easy to use but useless...

U70%
by U####:

Installed whilst waiting for my tube service and when checking on the app to compare what was displaying on the dot matrix it couldnt have been more wrong. I had a Train due in 2 mins on the dot matrix but the app said 29 mins, laughable really so deleted to continue my search of a more accurate tube tracker app

U70%
by U####:

Brilliant app. Please add train numbers!!

Q70%
by Q####:

There is a difference of 1-2 minutes with the actual tube arrival time. Sometimes it says 4min and suddenly changes to arriving now!!!

Q70%
by Q####:

It is a useful guide to find out more information on the tube and the DLR

S70%
by S####:

Can only be summed up as fantastic, all the information you need and nothing more, and no ads!! Amazing

U70%
by U####:

Paddington only shows Bakerloo line. Hello? Circle? District? Hammersmith & City? This app is a steaming pile of dog doo...

D70%
by D####:

Nice app. Downside that there is no actual tube map.

D70%
by D####:

Could do with a tube map but otherwise simple, fast and accurate - a great example of what a phone app should be.

D70%
by D####:

Excellent app. Switched from competing products. Quick response. Does the job on tube status and departures. Hopefully get overground departures soon!

D70%
by D####:

I work for TfL and this App proves to be very helpful to myself and a number of my colleagues during our working day.

D70%
by D####:

So useful. So quick and clear.

D70%
by D####:

It lacks the Overground! When it does it will deserve 5 stars

H70%
by H####:

With the addition of a map and a "Weekend Closures" page it would just about be perfect and get the extra star.

D70%
by D####:

Needs a map and departure times for all stations

D70%
by D####:

All os provide this app but androyed not provide

N70%
by N####:

Needs all lines and stations for 5

D70%
by D####:

Isn't accurate anymore. I'm sitting at the tube st, my next tube is due in 3 minutes and the app shows now. I'm sorry but this is London and time accuracy is everything. Goodbye

D70%
by D####:

The DLR times do not seem to update at all. Pls fix it.

Z70%
by Z####:

But abbey rd on the dlr line??

N70%
by N####:

If Chesham showed live updates this would be really useful. Otherwise a good app

D70%
by D####:

Great looking app only fault I can find is it does not have a 45 second auto refresh.

D70%
by D####:

Would be even better with widgets

I70%
by I####:

Would be more useful if there was a way to show weekend engineering works in advance.

X70%
by X####:

This is deffo the best tube app by far and an app that every Londoner should have. Bang On!

Q70%
by Q####:

Shame TfL doesn't provide Overground info, otherwise this app can only be described as plain awesome. Does what it says, easy to use interface. Simply a must have if you are travelling London by tube.
