Metlink RealTime Widget

Having read the other reviews, I understand its a widget. However, like a lot of others, I thought it was an app. I've set up the widget to read/provide info for 2 different stops. Other reviews indicate the widget uses a bit of data. At work or in CBD, this isn't an issue as I can access it via wifi. I have wifi at home but will prob only check once, twice max if I need. 4 stars for now - will hopefully upgrade to 5 stars in a couple of weeks.

I like the idea and how simple it is. A few issues that will stop me using it though: 1) Sometimes takes ages to update or switch between the two stops I selected. This needs to be lightening fast for me to use. Often checking it while running out the door to the bustop. 2) Can only see 3-4 buses. This isn't enough for the busy bus stops. I need to see at least 6 -10. Can you make the widget flexi size, so the user can select how many buses are shown by making the widget smaller or larger? 3) A cleaner UI to switch between favourite stops would be good. 4) More than two favourite stops?

I'm not sure why I can't use an app like I did on my iPhone, not a big fan of using widgets. This widget updates every minute automatically by the looks of it and I'm not keen on that as I only need to look at the widget twice a day, don't want this sitting in the background using data when it doesn't need to, would really prefer an app that I can just load when it's needed.

Installed Metlink on my Samsung SIII years ago and have used with great success.... THIS on the other hand...... successfully installed a widget - but without the actual app AND the widget doesn't even show up anywhere!! I use this app daily so am not impressed....

Installed but cannot use because all except the default WELL station code are invalid and no information shows for WELL. Also a widget is nice but would prefer an app that you can choose to refresh frequently

The only problem I've found so far is that sometimes the widget fails to refresh but stays in the "refreshing" state. I can't seem to reproduce it, though

This is not in real time. I waited 20mins for a train this morning when the widget was telling me it was running on time. Until it actually went past its due time then the widget update with "due in 5mins". It arrived much later than that. This happens all the time. I'm not fussed about the trains regularly being a few minutes late, but I got this app to let me know if the train is running on time or not, so the app is not doing what it is supposed to. Will be uninstalling now.

I'm entering a valid stop code (works fine on the website) however, no matter what I try, it keeps saying that it's is invalid. In fact it looks like it's not accepting any stop code at all. Stock Android 6.0.

Downloaded it and it doesn't show up in my apps!! Uninstalled and reinstalled it and still nothing. Waste of time!!!

For version 2 any stop I try to add says invalid. Was not an issue with v1

Waste of time and effort. Downloaded on S3 and can't choose any stops for trains for buses. Fix it or drop it.

Won't display on my samsung s3 mini. Stuck on settings. Reinstalling fixed that but then it insisted my 7331 onepu at rua stop was invalid. Makes the widget useless. Disappointing.

All stop codes are invalid. Can't enter anything aside from what is defaulted.

I've downloaded, uninstalled and re-loaded about 5 times and the app doesn't show up on my phone but says that it has been dowloaded. This app seems really helpful and would really be great for me please if you can help fix my problem that would be awesome:)x

No train codes I tried were accepted. Sends you to the main website to lookup up codes. Completely unusable.

Stopped working last week. Will not update bus times. Attempted reinstalling and still no luck.

Services unavailable in the filter list. Doesn't pick up station code or station name in the to and from field. Unusable - waste of time and data

Can't comment on it. Downloaded successfully - no icon to open it. Uninstalled and downloaded again - still unable to open it

Worked fine on my old Samsung Note 3. Tried setting up on my new Note 7 and my stops keep coming up as invalid.

It used to work on my old phone but since I got my new phone it says invalid stop code every time I try to put a code in.

Message received is, "Invalid stop code.". App works on Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, but not Motorola Moto G v2. So thumbs down to that! Widget uninstalled.

Try and enter any bus stop code (which is a nonsense in its self, why not just select from a map!). Any bus stop is invalid. Fail.

Returns invalid code error for any station. Even WATE from the examples. Useless.

Tried to put the 4 number bus stop code and it says invalid stop.

Hmm installed it it says it's there but I can't find it need to give it to bus drivers

Don't bother. All stop codes are invalid - even the ones that are ALREADY THERE. I can't change the second stop to anything relevant to me.

Piece of ........... downloads but doesn't show up anywhere on my device. Waste of time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a Samsung phone and it wouldn't show the app as installed. Have uninstalled & reinstalled several times.

Needs a catalogue of stops with descriptions. Needs to allow for more than two stops showing.

Won't open. I've wasted so much time trying to get it to open. Ripped off

Can't get past the settings. Does not work. Worst app I've seen yet.

All stops entered come up as invalid. Please fix, this is rubbish.

Not able to open the application after installation. Need to uninstall this app.

Dowload complete! Although I do take more than one bus, but you can only save two stops. If this can be looked into (as I see someone else has already queried) then this widget could really be amazing. I have not had any issues with the 'real time' not actually being real time but instead schedule time, fingers crossed I won't. So far, so good.

Has never once worked on my phone. All stop codes are invalid, apparently. Widget will be uninstalled, never to be seen again if this isn't fixed.

Limited to only 2 stops, widget resets itself all the time to Wellington Station and doesn't keep my stops. Who ever looks at bus stop numbers?!? Intuitive map with bus stops as part of the widget would be useful.

I cant even open it it says iv downloaded it but its not even in my apps, my settings say it exist but i believe to differ had no problems with iphone must just be samsung very appauled rather use a 3rd party app and i can open it

Tried to put in PORI and my nearest bus stop codes. Wouldn't accept them, said they were invalid. This could be a good app if I could actually enter the stop codes that are useful to me

Edit: Latest update resolved my issues. Works great now. This widget constantly resets itself to default and wipes my saved stops.

For some reason I can't even open the app.....
