What are users saying about Rail-Hopper for Metra

T70%
by T####:

It seemed way better than Ride Metra since they updated that app a few months ago. However, I missed my train today because the times are wrong so points go way down for unreliability. Need that fixed and then this app is pretty good.

F70%
by F####:

Some rail line schedules have recently changed, so the app needs to reflect that or I might just figure out the right Google search & save it as a favorite & delete this app.

T70%
by T####:

They didn't bother to update the the departure times for my station! They have always been the exact same at 25 minutes past the hour. I double checked yesterday and this morning cuz I'm anal like that and it told me 3:25 pm today. As I was paying for parking at 3:18 it pulled away! Looked on the metra site and sure enough most still 25 after except a couple. Missed my train cuz you didn't update! Keep it updated!

T70%
by T####:

A few months back the Rock Island district line changed their times and this app doesn't show the change. Be careful! You will miss a train!

T70%
by T####:

NO LONGER ACCURATE: schedules changed in October, 2016 and app has NOT been updated as of 3/2017.

Needs to be updated, all the train times are wrong

S70%
by S####:

The UI doesn't make any sense. It should show the next available times and then the stops for that train.

J70%
by J####:

The app lacks the prospective of being able to see all train times from the staring point. Such as starting from Chicago to a suburb. If it is there, then it is not easy to find that feature.

Vert good.

U70%

No features. Just schedules.

U70%
by U####:

Very handy app!!

P70%
by P####:

It has lots of good features but why-oh-why has the developer decided to described what the Metra refers to as "INBOUND" trains (trains IN to Chicago) as "OUT" -- and vice versa?? Makes no sense...

U70%
by U####:

A must if you ever take the train. Perfect design. You can throw away all other schedules. I can't wait for the taste of chicago.

G70%
by G####:

Excellent! No need to fumble around trying to read (and possibility mis-reading) paper schedules. All info is instant and right in your hand. Kudos!

T70%
by T####:

The rock island line has the updated departure time schedules but the stops aren't correct. Please fix!

U70%

My favorite and FREE partner to keep me posted on Metra timetables. Works effortlessly and easily. Thanks developers.

U70%

After reading other reviews I checked the scheduling of the app with the internet. My trains were accurate. Good quick way to look up traons for those of us that arent regular commuters.

U70%

Nothing appears after performing a search. Only the alerts show up, but even so they are all from several days ago, not even current. Galaxy S Epic 4g Touch
