Review summary

Users appreciate the full route visibility and find the app helpful for daily use with a user-friendly interface and inclusion of bike share info. However, common issues include inaccurate bus times, confusing navigation, lack of favorites or saved trips, and problems with location detection and filtering. The app also sometimes shows data from incorrect locations, contributing to user frustration. Overall, while promising, these recurring usability and accuracy flaws impact reliability.
Pros
  • Full bus route visibility feature is appreciated.
  • The app is useful for locating nearby bus stops and bike share information.
  • User-friendly interface and simple to use for daily commuting.
  • Good alternative to other transit apps that may not work on some devices.
Cons
  • Frequent inaccuracies in bus arrival times and route information.
  • Difficulty in searching routes; lack of clear directions and inability to save favorites or trips.
  • App shows irrelevant location data from other countries and doesn't restrict to selected city.
  • Requires location permissions, but sometimes fails to detect nearby stops or dismiss error messages.
  • Confusing interface initially and issues such as no AM/PM indication and unclear labeling of buses and stations.

Android. No button visible to close app once opened. SCREEN half filled with error message stating app couldn't find nearby stops until my location permissions were on, (which they were) so I couldn't dismiss error msg, nor click on clealy visible (tho tiny) stops on map for next bus ETA. Full bus route visibility nice (why I originally installed) but these bugs made this app a no-go for me.

This app is Totally Inaccurate. Half the time it doesn't display how long the bus will be.

I want to Thank the developer for adding my city to the list, I look forward to using the app, I think it's going to be just what I need, Thank You so much once again. It would be nice if it had the feature to where you could add favorite's to it, that way I just had to push my designation and it would automatically set up the route, maybe in the future.

I found it ok where u are near bus stops, BUT I found it not so good if u move it to another area to tell what time will bus be there, when u want to stay home, and find out next area, it won't tell the time. me. Grgrgr.

Application still frequently opens up to blank screen. I enjoy using this app when it works well but it's hard to rely on when it fails to provide you immediate necessary information.

Used to be able to input destination. No point to knowing the stops if you don't know where you're headed
