Does its job perfectly
While I don't need it for myself, I still have it around so I can help others by doing my part. Absolutely legendary app, huge recommend for everyone regardless of how you travel!
if it’s not free don’t make it free on the app store
as soon as you open the app, can’t do anything without $5
Good. Needs more peeps on.
Great app but to stay busy for it to be a benefit. More people using it, more better. It would be nice if we could add the travel direction of any animals in transit.
Great but greedy
This app is a great idea and was super useful for a few weeks, when it was free to use. Now, the pricetag has caused significantly less people to actively use the app which has reduced the prevalence of people reporting problems. The app should have been taken to an ad-supported model instead of an upfront payment, given that the entire content of the app is completely reliant on user submissions.
pretty easy to use
really handy
Scammer?
I downloaded the app when it was free and hadn’t used it so far. I get an email saying I’ve been charged and suddenly when the app price goes up my card was charged. My card is not attached to the app and cannot be used without my password so I don’t know how on gods green earth this app charged my card. Very upset. Waiting on a refund. I don’t mind paying if I’m willingly doing it myself but don’t somehow charge my card without me knowing. Pathetic excuse for human beings behind this app.
good idea, love checking out all the beautiful wildlife.
probably shouldn’t have immutable email notif/ advertising for your other app on an otp, or at least something less loud on the screen, would make the ux that tad bit nicer. Otherwise a clever app that relies on a nice community of ppl. gj! oh and also haps having the public transport (filter/layer?) active on the interface for apple maps would be helpful if possible. i’m writing too much but also considering the cost of running this service and without ads seems to be fair, as it is practically cost effective.
Canary in the coal mine
This app may not have saved my life, but it’s certainly saved me a lot of grief.
Used to be a great app
For an app to be reliant on user contributions and then have the audacity to switch to a paid model is not a good look on the developers. They can justify it however they want to themselves but I won’t be falling for it.
Good but one problem
everything works as intended but adding way to select a route (like a train line or station ) could be a gamechanger
Amazing app
Saved my day so many times. Perfect app
Doesn’t work
Never got it to work! Hasn’t shown anythings since the first day and even after latest update and signing in!!
dev deserves a nobel prize
give this man the 10 thousand dollars
Doesn’t work no let’s or notification
Tested when at ptv stations near myki readers or tram stops with two different iOS devices in both current iOS and rc 18.5 public and dev beta rc
Amazing best app ever
Saved me form a $300 fine Thankyou to whoever created this
Forces sign in
Was fun for a few weeks but now it forces sign in. Good luck with your endeavours
Tech for good😇
Why’s this in the top paid chart tho, I don’t remember having to pay for this (would
not working
it has not been working since 28/04/2025. it is useless.
Very useful app
Help me navigate through city without hassles
Easy to use
Hope that more people know about this app
App of the year
Beautiful, simply beautiful.
