EL Tracker is an app by CTA riders, for CTA riders.

We are the only completely free Chicago transit app that offers:
- Customizable widgets displaying departures, with SmartWalk delay
- Siri support and low-vision accessibility
- Multiple languages (including Spanish and Polish)
- Tailored alerts with push notifications

We are Chicagoans, who were irritated by the lack of a simple Chicago transit app. One night, we said, "Why can't I have a widget that shows me when the train is coming?" And from there, EL Tracker was born. We strive to create technology that has a positive impact on the lives of everyday Chicagoans. We also want to make traveling around the city as accessible as possible, which is why we provide low-vision support, ADA accessibility notations, elevator outage push notifications, and multiple languages.

EL Tracker is not an official CTA app, nor are we endorsed by the CTA.

This app rocks, but I have some feedback!

The devs took all my criticisms of other El apps and corrected them. The widget feature is so convenient. The app is gorgeous, intuitive, and customizable. It all rocks, but I do have to constructive criticisms related to the widget:

1. Widget sometimes won’t update. I have an old iOS device so this might be the reason, but there will be times I’ll look at the widget, sprint to catch a train, only to realize the train passed my station 5 min ago and my widget says that it was updated 8 min ago. It definitely takes away from the convenience when the widget doesn’t update automatically every time. As I said, might be an old phone issue, but might I suggest adding a small refresh button in the top right corner of the widget? Just so I can manually refresh it when needed?

2. When i can tell it’s not refreshing, I click the widget, and the widget opens the app. I would loovveee if the widget can open right to the station it was displaying instead of going to the main screen. That’s especially helpful when the widget is set to the “closest station” setting (which also rocks, btw), because the nearest station might not be in my favorites and I’d have to go search for it.

Other than those two things, everything about this app is amazing and still hands down the best app I’ve used for the El. It’s so clutch, thank you devs for taking the time to do this!

Hi! Thank you so much for your review.

1. We’re so sorry you missed a train because of the widget not showing up to date information. We wish we could make it available for your device. However, manual refresh is only available for iOS 17 devices. This is because widgets don’t support any interactions in older iOS versions. You will see the refresh button once you update your OS.

2. Currently working on this feature!

Widgets are a game changer.

There is literally no other app that shows you departures on a widget, and the smart walk feature is amazing. It’s also the only app where you can ask Siri when the next train is coming. Fantastic app tons of great features.

Love it!

The widgets are beautiful and so intuitive. Cant wait for busses to be added.

PS - Transit stop runs ads and has a far worse UI. If you guys need to put a banner or two on the page to keep the servers running, please do!
