TreKing (Chicago)

Still the best CTA app available and I've tried them all over the past 8+ years of owning a smartphone. Developer continually adds new features. I can't recommend TreKing enough!

I've used this app for years and at different times have tried out more alternatives than I can count. The fact that you can easily access an organized list of your favorite stops (incl. direction, which is kinda rare) and get an arrival time without 20 taps/big photos is a major win, and keeps me coming back even though the interface gets dated compared to others. Recent addition of route colors seems to hint the dev is working on it, but the result is rather jarring and not really addressing the problem.

I will tell u, but u know that there r a lot of bus tracker, L tracker apps out their, however this APP 'TREKING' is the most accurate and up to date software out there. Moreover, it's cheap, but I am more concerned with making the bus than shelling out a few bucks! Lastly, the app has been out and doing good for me. Since Droid 1.0....

I've been relying on this app for the longest 2+yrs....Haven't had a problem although my everyday commute is just CTA Bus...it's pretty accurate...Awesome!???? ????

No problems on Galaxy Note Edge

I rely on this app to get me around on public transit. It's fast, accurate, and easy to use. The developer is responsive when contacted directly, and has a wicked and wonderful sense of humor.

Great for planning when to leave, to make a connection. Once set-up, is faster that CTA's bus-tracker.

I tell my friends and random CTA passengers, this is the ap you want. Do the full version. It's worth it.

I needed a app for school so in can see when those trains come so I won't just be sitting and wondering, and just as well for the buses in Chicago. Now I don't pay for apps, this is the only app that I have payed money for, and it was worth it. The dev (when you email him, not leave 1 star reviews) answers questions in a very timely manner, and is very nice when explaining things. Overall, this app, for anyone living, working, or going to school in Chicago (not driving) could benefit well from this app. Update: a few years later and the developer has made this even better by tweaking the UI of the app!

This app is great and easy to use. It also good for me to get around Chicago. App solid, app golden!

Will you b supporting Android Wear, if so when do you anticipate rolling it out?

It helps alot!

Developer very responsive. Fixed crashing issue in record time. I highly recommend it!

Been using TreKing for 4 years now (i think). Gets better with every update. Developer response is excellent!

Wish Google were this accurate

I love the app but I can't give it 5 stars when I get consistent crashes on launch. I send the error reports whenever possible. Hopefully the developer can increase the stability, I'd like to raise my rating to 5.

Latest update solved the "crash at launch" issues from a prior version of this app. Download with confidence. (Nexus 6p)

I love this app but it sucks that I paid 5 bucks on here but I gotta re-buy it again for iphone. Grrrrrrr

The latest version crashes on launch on the nexus 5x.

I can't import any of my stuff exported from another device. Attempting to use the old load method or use import results in an app crash. =/

Great app

user friendly. way better than I expected. UPDATE June 2015: excellent user-friendliness continues after all these updates.

Best tracking app for chicagoans!

I really love this app and it really works 4 me to get around Chicago.

New bug: all PACE Buses times are "No Arrival" fix bug please.

Error- When click on CTA Trains it keeps coming up network error, Failed to complete connection. Both on WiFi and 4G

It's been very dependable for CTA and Metra! Thanks for all the hard work!

Easy to use and feature-rich with frequent updates and improvements.

Love the app.

Loved this app. Until it stopped loading I bought this app now is useless please fix....

Honestly, I feel a little bit guity that I've been using this app for nearly 3 years but only paid once. Because the author's hard work just worth more than the few bucks. He's not only good but also responsible. This is the first time I write comment on Google Play, only because apparently, the app is awesome, less than 800kbs? A bit advice for the author: Should we consider a better UI now? Most people are looking for comfortable UIs. Maybe you can take a look at TransitBuddy, their iOS version is good.

Amazing customer support. I don't use this app anymore because the UI is totally blah. I am hoping that you can get a totally new UI that will be competitive to the other apps.

I use this app all the time! It's extremely accurate and saves me so much time in my commute every single day. Gone are the days of stepping out into the street craning your neck looking to see when the next bus is coming!

The free as well as paid version only gives me a screen to type in bus ID numbers. There is no way to access instructions or a screen for Metra, South Shore Line, CTA trains, maps, or so called home screen widget. This was a definite waste of time and money.

This app guides my public transit life. No need to get lost or be late. Paid version is awesome.

I use this app multiple times a day and is as accurate as you can get when dealing with random traffic. This app has saved me so much commute time. Also, the few times I've had to reach out to the developer with glitches (only twice in so many years), he's been very quick to respond, easy to communicate with and let me know if it was an already existing issue being worked on or something new with quick resolution. I highly recommend this time saving app. Great support!

So I had an issue and gave plenty of detail to the creators of this app when I was having problems and they were SUPER helpful, not only is this one of the few apps that help guide those of us on the "outskirts" of the city from Pace to CTA but it's one of the best and I'm happy to say now, most reliable. :)
