ETA Reviews

I haven't heard back from you, I love the idea of ETA but its still incomplete. Here is what will usually happen, i will want to get in my car, plug my iphone in so that it will connect to carplay, during that split second that its connecting, i want to look at the widgets and see how long its gonna take me to get to work, home, etc. It tells me the minutes on that location, but not the route. So i have no idea which freeway ETA is using to tell me its gonna take 25 minutes to get to wherever. What if i get excited that its only gonna be 14 minutes to get home and im gonna assume that its referring to the 210 freeway (my usual route) when in fact theres an accident and instead it was 14 minutes using the 15 freeway. Oops! This is why i deleted ETA 2 years ago because i didnt feel confident using it without that extra bit of info on the today view. I dont want to tap on the preset location, unlock my phone, and look at the map when it could just say "14 minutes via 15 freeway". Please address this, i cannot use ETA otherwise

After the latest update my apple watch lost my locations. They are on the phone app, now the apple watch has a lists option and a import function from the phone app?!? So ok, I do that but the apple watch crashes on a save an then restarts.

Why make this change, why is this more complex. I used to open ETA on the phone add my locations an tada they are are on my watch easy! Now I have to create a list on the apple watch an import them, would be ok really if it didn’t immediately crash? This is a mess, have you ever tried to type or use inputs on a 1 1/2 inch screen?

Please fix this, I’ve uninstalled ETA on the watch an reinstalled to no avail.

Read the reviews before you purchase. I wish I had. This developer has a habit of advertising features of ETA that DO NOT WORK. He/she does not respond to support emails. Update: Never received developer email. Developer never responded to my emails. Read the reviews. Developer seems to have a habit of 'missing' support email. And check the rating of ETA . It sums up ETA . At the time of this writing ETA is rated 3.8. The developer has an issue with the truth. Never received any developer email. I sent 3 support emails without reply. That is enough. As a developer myself, I find this developer's response and behavior reprehensible. READ THE REVIEWS. Ignore the lies. READ THE REVIEWS.

I bought this for the sole purpose of having an accurate this app to work displayed in real time as a complication on my Apple Watch. I installed it and gave ETA all the proper permissions (including making sure the iPhone app is set to “always” with location). When you open the iPhone app, it auto updates and accurate info is displayed. But ETA , iPhone widget and watch complication simply do not update with any noticeable regularity. The complication, in particular, usually shows highly inaccurate stats (showing heavy traffic even though rush had completed 12 hours prior).

I wish this was a rare occurrence, but even after a full week of careful testing, making sure everything is set correctly, it simply doesn’t work as advertised. The developer said this newest version fixed the issue. It didn’t in my case, and there’s nothing special about my setup. I’d recommend you definitely not purchase ETA even if the developer updates with “fixes”. I’ll be asking Apple for a refund on this.

Back to showing 0 minutes. Seemed to be working for a few days, but seems to have problems with auto refresh and updating. One other thing I wish it would do is “try” to guess my destination based on my GPS coordinates instead of always defaulting to my second location. Hoping for a fix soon!

Wish this would work. Used to have Google Maps and it was always spot on about the traffic and time and guessed really well my next destination. I don’t use my phone when driving so like the convenience of being able to glance at my watch. But it constantly shows 0 minutes to wherever I’m going and usually shows only the location I’m at. Paid for this and the calendar sync. Have installed every update I can possibly find. Please fix!

ETA doesn't seem to work on the Apple Watch. I have a series 7 watch and an iPhone 13 pro max. The complication icons for travel time did not show up on the watch face, even though I have selected them in the watch face complications set up.
The calendar doesn't work either because I have an appointment coming up tomorrow and it's not picking up the appointment even though I have the time the place and the address selected. I have paid $4.99 for this this app app which shows $1.99 for travel time and $1.99 for calendar. Neither one is working on my Apple Watch 7. Please fix this as soon as possible so that I don't have to apply for a refund. ETA did look promising and the only reason I purchased it was for the Apple Watch.

I was thrilled when I read about ETA and immediately purchased it as well as the upgrade. Wished I hadn’t. In theory it’s a much needed complication which could help me out greatly on days where I have to do a ton of errands before going to work etc. Sadly, the complication is wonky and won’t update unless ETA is open on the phone - and even then the watch app only seems to work 20% of the time. (AW3 + 7plus, all latest os versions)

I hope they are able to fix it, as in theory ETA would be AMAZING, sadly like most things that seem to be too good to be true, they are. The watch app side of ETA is broken and I will probably ask for my money back.

So I want to love ETA. I work for a company where I often drive around 50 miles a day to the same five sites and ETA promised the world of making my life easier. ETA itself works well. It’s the Apple Watch complication that doesn’t. It just won’t update unless you open ETA on your phone. Which is... inconvenient.

I tried clicking ETA support link and it took me to their web page, which offered not a lot of help. It did offer an email, but it bounced back as undeliverable. If the dev reads these, I’d love some help on trying to get the complication to work.

Pretty good app, the widgets are beautiful and the roads are pretty accurate to what loads up in maps when you click them. However, ETA needs an option to set routes as avoiding tolls. There are some places I just never take tolls to and having an this app that only shows me the toll route is just not very useful. If I were to get this avoid tolls option, I would definitely update my review as ETA would become much more useful to me. Please implement this, devs!

The new update works much better with the Apple Watch. ETA itself loads a lot quicker. The new complications for s4 Apple Watch looks really good too!

My only complaint is that I wish the complications would update more often. It seems like the complication loads data when you open ETA but fails to update throughout the day. Even if I have all permissions turned on. Also, using force touch to specify location displayed in the complication doesn't always work. The two issues might be related.

Overall the most recent update has made ETA quite useful. Work out the last remaining bugs and I’ll give a full five star rating! Thank you!

Love ETA. The best feature is the Lock Screen widget that can gives traffic report and commuter time. I have a simple suggestion to make it better; right now the widget only works in one direction (I have it set from home to work). After leaving work, the widget’s report remains on work (not very useful). It would be great if the destination on the widget automatically reversed based on location [or perhaps time of day], switching the destination from work to home.

So after the latest update things became much more stable. Apple Watch app works better now. Still seeing some discrepancies between the time Apple Watch app shows vs iPhone.

Unfortunately ETA has been unreliable. The widgets are hit and miss with updating, the actual travel time in the widget vs ETA is different? The Apple Watch companion never updates for me. It’s unfortunate because ETA is exactly what I’m looking for but just don’t deliver consistently.

I’m not sure what the benefit of ETA is. Am I missing something in thinking that if you put an address into any navigation app it will give you the same information?

That said, I think a useful feature to add would be to add a time to leave notification in order to reach a destination by a certain time, and also be able to add a buffer (i.e. 5, 10, 15min) to factor time like changing clothes, using the restroom before leaving, etc.

I like ETA and having it on my watch. It needs to give you the quickest route to your set location by default. I have 2 ways I can get to work everyday. I check ETA , and it's just telling me one, unless I click in and look at all the possible routes. It should just show you the quickest.

This is my favorite app for checking times to leave and to add it to the calendar so it can tell me when I need to leave so I’m not late! I love the Apple Watch app. It’s so convenient using the Apple Watch app. ETA has all locations in front of you so you can check various locations to see how much time it takes to get there or arrive. It also allows a few extra minutes you can set for parking. How convenient is that especially if your at a hospital clinic trying to find a parking spot.

If you have places to be and tend to be late casue you think you have enough time to get there but end up late because you misjudged your arrival time, I recommend ETA! It's helped gauge my time, I know when to leave the house right off the bat when looking at ETA, and I you can have many different places added on ETA so you always know which place you need to be and when to leave and it updates in real time and also calculates traffic! It's a must have

Thanks for coming up with ETA. I accidentally came across ETA and already love it.
ETA is AWESOME and very simple to use. If I may suggest two features to be added it would be to enable multiple addresses of the same contact (ex home and work).
The second would be to categorize your saved locations by color (green is recreational, yellow is eats, blue is business, purple is friends etc.
Bottom line is, this super helpful app is a must!

Very customizable and simple to set up. I quite love the look and functionality of the complications. A handy schedule option exists so you can make the complications change routes spending in time of day, which is great!

Recently experienced a bug that the developers were quick and responsive to fixing. Have depended on ETA for years and don’t plan on stopping any time soon!

A few weeks ago I stated how great ETA really really is! Believe me that has not changed! I use ETA everyday and it’s data has for me been right on the nose know matter what time of day! It’s not always now days you can find an app that is helpful to your daily travel that’s correct! This one is really is. I would like to thank the Developer for putting out such a Unique Outstanding Design 5 Star ⭐️ app. You can tell that this Developer has put a great Deal of Time hard Work Sweat and yes Love into the coding of this Software for you myself and our family. So with that I would like to Thank the Developer for His Dedication and Commitment on His unique Design App. With that I simply want to Tip my Hat 🎩 to The Developer and say “ Thank’s “

I work in Product Design so love trying out new apps, evolved UI improvements, etc. Was so impressed when trying out your new watch experience. Full featured, intuitive interface, seamless calendar integration and fast. Polished information design keeps the right info prioritized for glanceable comprehension (so many products fail at that!) I bought ETA long ago but now have a major renewed interest. Keep up the great work!
