Sample trek only...no real value Usually the free version has some functionally, this does if you want to go to the Sears tower...should have said this up front...$4....really?

Rhotmail - I'm sorry you seem to be dissatisfied with the app.

I have to ask, though ... did you actually try it out? Because the app definitely has "some functionality".

You can track CTA buses and trains, save your favorites, view the closest stop, and set a 5-minute alert, to name a few things off the top of my head.

Also, did you read the app description? Because all of the features and limitations are described "up front" right in the description.

Like the text in all caps that reads: 'THIS FREE VERSION IS AD-SUPPORTED AND HAS LIMITED OR DEMO-ONLY FEATURES."

If there is anything I can do to make that clearer, please let me know.

And yes, really, four dollars. I know it seems ludicrous to ask for a one-time payment of four hundred cents to own the app forever and get free updates with new features and technical support if you need it.

Let's put that in perspective and think about:

How much is a ride on the CTA / Pace / Metra every time you ride?

How much was your Android device on which you ran the app?

How much is that phone / data plan every single month?

I'm open to hear what you think I should price the app if you don't feel it's worth the asking price. I obviously want those in the 99% to be able to afford this luxurious commodity.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

My Rating:

Simple opinion only...no real value Usually the comment has some merit, this does if you want baseless and uninformed opinion...should have said this up front...$4....really!
