Tube Chaser
Real-time Tube status and departures, quick access to station info from favourites and find stations by GPS.
Follow @tube_chaser on Twitter for latest updates.
PLEASE NOTE: Some stations are missing from the list, or no useful information is given. This is ALWAYS due to TfL's poor data, not Tube Chaser.
This mostly affects Hammersmith & City/Circle Line in West London, District line at Paddington, and some Metropolitan Line stations.
Tube map and London Overground support can't be included at this stage, due to ridiculous licensing costs from both TfL and National Rail Enquiries.

Love the current features, but would be useful to combine Favourite stations with Tube Status - see all at one glance. Also having used Tube Buddy on Blackberry, have got used to seeing live departure info in less clicks. So far, so good but please could we have more? Thanks
I think the dev may need to switch feeds - the one the app is using at the moment seems to be out of sync w reality...
However data are not accurate add per other free app. Also three user journey to reach the useful live departure is too long. No immediate sense of the tube status on the selected station screen.
Shame TfL doesn't provide Overground info, otherwise this app can only be described as plain awesome. Does what it says, easy to use interface. Simply a must have if you are travelling London by tube.
Best tube app out there, clear and easy to use. Very quick to refresh tube status. Well done developer +++++ maybe a quit button in a future release
It's such a great app to go on because I have to get the train from where I am to where I'm going to and I think that other people should give it a go cuz it's awesome
This app is really awesome but please incorporate a tube map into the app, as that would make it a complete and 5 star app.
With the addition of a map and a "Weekend Closures" page it would just about be perfect and get the extra star.
Best app I've ever downloaded. Would be great if it had the west side for Hammersmith line and overground but still great anyway. Very reliable.
Isn't accurate anymore. I'm sitting at the tube st, my next tube is due in 3 minutes and the app shows now. I'm sorry but this is London and time accuracy is everything. Goodbye
Installed whilst waiting for my tube service and when checking on the app to compare what was displaying on the dot matrix it couldnt have been more wrong. I had a Train due in 2 mins on the dot matrix but the app said 29 mins, laughable really so deleted to continue my search of a more accurate tube tracker app
Excellent app. Switched from competing products. Quick response. Does the job on tube status and departures. Hopefully get overground departures soon!
Works most of the time .for some reason becontree tube station information is not available which has really surprised me.
Great looking app only fault I can find is it does not have a 45 second auto refresh.
Shows the wrong times, made me go to wrong platforms and miss trains numerous times. Although it has a nice interface and easy to use but useless...
SAXParseException. Either they changed the XSD or never worked. This occured for Woolwich Arsenal. Alas!
I work for TfL and this App proves to be very helpful to myself and a number of my colleagues during our working day.
Could do with a tube map but otherwise simple, fast and accurate - a great example of what a phone app should be.
Used to be favourite, but other apps show departure board more accurately. Strange since it should all come from tfl API
Very reliable. Been using this for 3/4 of a year now. Still needs Overground departure information though.
I am unable to receive any departure information,love the interface and its simple use but for the feature I most need it for it doesn't seem to work.
This app hasn't been updated since 2011; it's now May 2017 and, although the app now looks rather dated, I still haven't found an alternative app that does the job better.
Well done for the simplest of solutions to an annoying fact of life. Only improvement I could think of is adding in where on the train you should be to line up with the train platform exits!
There is a difference of 1-2 minutes with the actual tube arrival time. Sometimes it says 4min and suddenly changes to arriving now!!!
worked for a good few months now force closes whenever i try and use it, really annoying
This is deffo the best tube app by far and an app that every Londoner should have. Bang On!
Simple to use and very effective. All it needs to make it the perfect tube app is a tube map - you'll get the 5th star back when you add that!
For years this has worked well, getting me to platforms just as my train arrives. For 2 weeks now the information has been meaningless. All tube lines are apparently still closed for the night at 7:20 am, my train is 6 minutes away apparently as I watch it pull away from my platform just as I arrive. Annoying, it was good.
