Latest reviews of TrackMyStop Never Miss a Stop app for iPhone and iPad
It worked well for the 5 trains of my journey. But my last train the Sunset Limited was not covered. Please add it.
I was using while playing music with Spotify. This app did not notify/play alarm when near my stop. When I opened app I could see it should have played alarm. Maybe works if phone is otherwise idle... Should interrupt like clock alarm!
This app does more than the listed price ... I just bought it, to see how it works while coming back to Boston after my business travel to NYC, I really liked it the way it works and I recommended to my friends too.
I brought this app today and used the SMS feature. It gave SMS to my friend and he received me in station. This was the app I was looking for. With this ap you can do any work including sleeping while on train/ public transport and you can be rest assured that you will be alerted before your destination. What else you need.
Does the job but the UI could be much simpler ad straight forward. Also, I wish CalTrain stops were included
