## Review summary

Most reviews condemn the latest TPG app update for a clunky, non-intuitive UI replacing a functional old version. Users report unreliable real-time timings, phantom buses, and disappearing departures. In-app ticketing is broken (tickets only by SMS, unclear which ticket to buy). Stop search is slow and hard to use. A few note minor positives like checking times and adding a stop to the home screen, but overall sentiment is negative.

### Pros

- Very good and useful
- Ability to add a specific bus stop to the home screen
- Useful for checking bus times

### Cons

- UI/UX degraded after update; users prefer the old app and find the new interface hard to use
- Ticketing is not in-app; you can only buy tickets by SMS, which is confusing and costly
- Unreliable live times/departures with phantom buses and missing or outdated schedules
- Cumbersome search and navigation; slow stop search and difficult departures list; stops not easy to find
