User Reviews

Review consensus is mixed. The strongest positives are occasional accurate live times and real-time arrival info, with several users calling it a useful, goto bus app. The dominant issues are intrusive ads and popups (including redirects), frequent inaccuracies in times/routes and incomplete map data, stability problems (lag, crashes), and growing privacy concerns around data collection and opt-out options. Overall, reliability and user experience are inconsistent, with many users reporting missed buses and frustration due to ads and privacy tracking.

Pros

Accurate live times/timekeeping.
Useful real-time arrival information for buses.
Some users still view it as a good, recommended bus app.

Cons

Intrusive ads and popups with redirects to external sites (e.g., Shein/Aliexpress).
Times and routes are often inaccurate or incomplete (missed buses, wrong countdowns, not showing roadworks).
Stability issues: lag, crashes, and bugs that cause the app to freeze or close unexpectedly.
Privacy concerns due to data collection practices and lack of a clear 'reject all' option.

Recent reviews

It is useful as a tool for getting upto date bus times (whether that is nearby or at a particular bus stop further afield), but one thing I have noticed is that it uses up a lot of data, and I do mean a lot of data that you start to think what is it doing. So, my mobile data usage sky rocketed whilst using it even though in one single day. On this given day, it said the app used just over 1.4GB of mobile data and that was intermittent use. Just something that people need to be careful of.
