Review summary

Bustime is praised for useful, often accurate transit information and maps, with reviewers noting reliable performance in some regions and broad global coverage. However, recurring drawbacks include inconsistent real-time data (missing minutes/vehicle counts in many locales), intrusive ads blocking the screen, and localization problems (diacritics not displayed in several languages). Other complaints cite regional data gaps and occasional UI/orientation glitches. Overall, the app shows strong potential and positive sentiment, but reliability and polish vary significantly by location.

Pros

Useful and accurate transit/location information (real-time vehicle positions and arrival times where available).
Works well in some regions (e.g., Saint-Petersburg) with map/vehicles data displayed.
Global coverage: usable across many cities worldwide.
Strong positive reception in reviews (described as best, fantastic, excellent, or top).

Cons

Inconsistent/unreliable real-time data (missing minutes/vehicle counts or outdated updates).
Intrusive ads that cover the screen and cannot be closed.
Localization issues: diacritics not displayed or replaced in multiple languages (Romanian, Czech, Lithuanian, etc.).
Regional data gaps: data not available or limited in many locales.
UI/orientation problems: app stuck in landscape or other layout glitches.
