User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed: users appreciate the app for accurate bus times and helpful information, but widespread intrusive ads and frequent crashes have ruined the experience. Several reviews note unreliable timings, missing or incorrect bus details, and forced ad displays after updates, leading many to abandon the app in favor of alternatives. The core strengths are accurate timing and usefulness when the app is functioning; the primary drawbacks are ads, instability, and data usage concerns.

  • Useful and informative for London bus journeys
  • Generally regarded as a great/excellent app when it functions properly
