User Reviews

The Bus Times London Countdown App is valued for its typically accurate bus arrival times and useful features, but user satisfaction is heavily impacted by aggressive, disruptive ads and reliability issues in real-time data. Many users report that recent updates have degraded the user interface and introduced a subscription model that re-locks paid features. These issues make the app frustrating and less dependable for users relying on timely bus information.

Pros

Generally accurate bus arrival times and useful information such as bus registration numbers.
Useful bus stop letters shown, which helps with navigation especially when transferring from trains.
Was initially fast, reliable, and easy to use before recent updates.
The app provides detailed bus route and stop information catering to user's needs.
Some users find it worth recommending to friends and families due to its features.

Cons

Excessive and intrusive advertising including long, loud ads that disrupt user experience.
Ads sometimes cause unintentional redirects to download pages, making the app almost unusable.
Inaccurate or unreliable bus arrival times reported, including 'none due' messages showing incorrectly.
Recent updates have downgraded the user interface and removed previously available features like pull down to refresh.
New subscription model locks previously paid-for features, causing dissatisfaction among long-time users.

Recent reviews

It's surprisingly reliable and caters to all my needs. Occasionally, there is a bug when no bus times are displayed, but it's only short-term. Overall, good stuff.

Used to be good but now almost unusable due to ads. I realise ads are sometimes needed but unless you have fingers the size of a matchstick head you get taken out of the app to Google play store to download whatever is being advertised. I've missed busses due to this!! In response to the developer, i understand the need for ads, they are used in most apps. Problem is your ads are ridiculously intrusive & make the app almost unusable so defeat the object. Something that your response fails to get
