## Review summary

Overall, Connect Bus is rated poorly due to reliability issues. The most common complaints are inaccurate and inconsistent ETAs, sluggish or failing data loads, and general bugs that refresh poorly or display skeleton screens. Many users note the app doesn’t support viewing multiple routes, saves, offline mode, or reliable in-app ETA for future days, and some are redirected to Google Maps or the website. A minority report that when the app works, route tracking and timing can be accurate, and that it’s an improvement over older versions, but overall sentiment is frustration and dissatisfaction.

### Pros

- Route tracking in the app provides real-time tracking when data loads.
- When the app works, ETA timing can be accurate and helpful.
- Some users view it as an improvement over older app versions.

### Cons

- Inaccurate and inconsistent arrival times/ETAs, causing missed buses.
- Frequent bugs and slow loading, with data not loading or refreshing poorly.
- Limited route viewing: cannot view multiple routes at once and plan transfers.
- Redirection to Google Maps or the website without in-app estimates for many queries.
- Reliability varies by device and updates can worsen performance.
