metroNotify

HIGHLIGHTS

The metroNotify is now available as a free download on Google Play for Android owners. The application is designed for use in English language. It weighs in at only 10MB to download. It is highly advisable to have the latest app version installed so that you don`t miss out on the fresh new features and improvements. The current app version 1.1 has been released on 2014-11-26. The Apple Store includes a very useful feature that will check if your device and iOS version are both compatible with the app. Most iPhone and iPad are compatible. Here is the app`s compatibility information: 2.3 and up

occasionally helpful but extemely frustrating when it constantly badgers you with notifications when a service has been suspended         Jamie Tram

For what should be a pretty easy app to make really useful and easy to use it s terrible Like a lot of other people say notifications are hit and miss often arriving well and truly too late And when the notification is for the Lilydale line I go into the app and what pops up is the Belgrave line         Richard Thomas

This is a basic app that should work well but does not Announcements about cancelled train are announced on the app after they are cancelled what a joke The app does not always open without needing to be restarted Push notifications appear irregularly and sometime are repeated 5 times in a 10 minute period with THE SAME information and so on The only real use this app has for me is to look up the next few trains on my railway line when I need to catch a train             Joe G

July 19 Apps now working and notifications back on phone and Fitbit People on Android One should be happy now Pixel Nokia Note though Google Pay for Myki does not work on certain phones for certain stations Flinders Street A real pain I got a refund PTV were first class about it Been a long road to get the app right but now done                     Stephen

App is very erratic doesn t aways open so you need to uninstall and reinstall if there is an issue you can t see when the next trains are         Nick Beaton

Today s update has fixed notifications but broken the app It s great that notifications are appearing now but the app itself just does not load anymore It gets stuck on the loading screen             Lleyton J

Now it s 7am and it says the next train leaves in 8hrs 33min at 3 33pm OMG Worst app for the world s worst metropolitan train service Metro can only run trains if it s not too wet too hot or too windy     David Lucas

Could you please add the ability to select custom travel times             Ryan Collett

Latest version does not load on a Galaxy S10 Just sits at the loading screen Done the usual Uninstall and reinstall etc     Geoff Aldridge

this is a really good app useful features and good to see some handy enhancements coming through                 Chris Jones

push notifications have started working after the update yesterday but now the app is unable to load and you get stuck on the loading screen     Brett Thomas

Update is screwed Cleared cache u0026 data and re installed All I get is the spinning wheel Will not load     Colin Benning

Not all useful if one train was cancelled half an hour ago that train line is shown as Orange even after long time     Nevin Verghis

Does not work for notifications on google pixle 3 emailed support team no action now the app works but cant not set options for alert times         Devyani Nair

They finally fixed issues with notifications but now you can t open the app at all     Daniel Coates

The app is not launching on my phone after the latest update I have a samsung galaxy s10     Anushka Dey

push notifications do not work on Samsung S10 started to work in ver 2 21 15th july             Brett Skippen

just refuses to open most days absolutely useless i get the notifications but can t open the app         Aimee Nelkner

latest update fixed app opening notification are working again                 XiTatiON

App is working again let s see if I get any notifications         Dale F

What have you done The app doesn t work any more     Cameron Mackay

It needs to allow us to pick morning and evening times to be notified When there is a train notice it does not allow me to check the next train times unless I wait for the notice to go away which is often 30 60mins Defeats the purpose of the app If there is a notice with a large paragraph of writing it cuts off and I can t scroll down to read more         Eleina Hassan

Really lacking in information and general usability Doesn t show full details can t click to expand the update when there are issues with train service Also does not show next train service when there are minor issues e g if there are bus replacements for part of the train journey all I get is a notification for that nothing to indicate when the next train is         Daisy D

App hasn t worked for years now Notification today says due to police request bo so you click on the notification to find the end of the sentence and it takes you to a blank my trips page that has unrelated instructions for adding to mytrips Ths happens every single time there s a potentialy useful notification     danthelambboy

as many other reviewers have said push notifications stopped working quite some time ago making this app useless Given the fact it has been almost a year since the last update I can only conclude that a Metro dosent read the reviews and b they couldn t care less and does not intend to fix it     Alex McLennan

Think of the most incompetent app created by an equally incompetent rail operator My favourite feature this app has is where you can t see the scheduled departure times AT ALL when one or more trains is either late or cancelled even if the cancellation is an hour away which being Metro is always     Nick Noodle

UI is simple but not intuitive It s doesn t detect your location so you need to change your direction of travel to get the relevant train times You can t get any other info like arrival time at your selected station I STILL use train trapper for my journeys Discontinued and no longer available on the play store but still the best I ve used to date Take note Metro         Ash M

This App really is useless at most times Don t think it has to do only with the app s robustness quality but also with their crappy back end that can t facilitate such a service Backwards as always with Metro The app notifies me up to an hour after the event has happened On the occasions I get an event on time if I click it from the notification tray it most times it will open the app only for it to not show Click refresh does not fix this either and only shows that my train line has good service when I just got notified of an issue As software engineer myself I could probably do a better job developing this on my own Really needs fixing             Mark Balkis

Frequent notifications however tapping them to read the whole message deletes them and opens the app where the information is not repeated Useless         CJ Dennis

Absolutely useless They send you push notifications yes but you can only read what fits in the preview in your phone notifications and when you press it it opens to the main screen of the app you can t even read the entire message What the heck is the point of that They don t even have a list of notifications for particular train lines The only thing they have is the traffic light status of each line which you can already get on the Metro website Deleted     A Google user

pretty dismal and unusable often needs to be stopped and restarted     Rob Andrew

a terrible app design information is poorly laid out and unhelpful notifications do not take you into a useful part of the app previous alerts in the app cannot be dismissed the way to configure the alerts you are interested in is far too limited and no meaningful updates or improvements to the app in years Train trapper is far superior PTV just need to make the data available via an API to third party developers who actually know how to build a good quality app     Maks L

No push notifications Why have they stopped working The app is pretty much useless these push notifications My notification settings are turned on     Nick Pezz

I changed from apple to samsung and now I don t receive any notifications even though all th ed notification settings are turned on             Marie Wright

I am not getting push notifications I uninstalled the app and re installed it but I am still not getting push notifications I have to open the app everytime to see the updates     Neville Martis

Notifications have no longer been coming through so have to manually open the app to see that there s delays in the morning or when on PT Edit 11 12 18 still no fix for this Google maps provides more reliable updates than Metro s own app     Jason Moncrieff

Doesn t tell you platforms and if your line has multiple routes termination points e g Pakenham line but particular service could terminate at Westall or Dandenong the app won t tell you that either You have to keep cross checking between the PTV app and this app with information discrepancies between the 2 apps         A Google user

It shouldn t be that hard to code a reliable app that lets you know when the trains have issues but apparently it s too much for metro Almost every aspect of this app sucks and it does serve its core purpose     moo koid

I used to love this app until the push notifications stopped working They are turned on within the settings as well as the morning update which I havent received for the past 6 months I suppose this is what you get from metro a buggy mess just like their train system     A Google user
