Review summary

Users widely experience issues with PTBusBeacon including frequent crashes and infinite loading screens. The ETA information and bus GPS tracking are unreliable, making it difficult to depend on the app for accurate bus arrival times. The interface has become confusing after updates, diminishing usability. Despite good intentions and some helpful features like alerts, ongoing technical problems cause significant frustration. Some stability improvements have been noted over time, but core issues remain unresolved, leading many users to prefer alternative methods such as the transit website.

Pros

The app offers good intended functionality for tracking buses and viewing schedules when it works.
Alerts and notifications are provided, helping some users to get timely information.
Improvements over time have slightly addressed stability issues for some users.

Cons

App frequently fails to load, often showing an infinite loading screen or crashing on startup.
Estimated arrival times (ETAs) are consistently inaccurate and unreliable.
The user interface is considered confusing, clunky, and difficult to navigate after updates.
GPS tracking for buses is often faulty, showing incorrect locations or failing to update.
Reinstalling the app is commonly required due to persistent loading and crashing problems.

2024-10-31	An*****	I don't usually give reviews but I am making an exception for this app. It is truly awful! Half the time it doesn't load, and when it does it'a buggy and slow, and features often don't work. Schedule information is frequently incorrect. The in-app link to provide feedback doesn't even work - had to look it up manually, which tells you how terrible it must be for me to seek it out. YIKES!!!

2023-08-17	Ar*****	Works right after installing, but next day it is the infinite blank loading screen. Wifi and data aren't the problem. Had to reinstall. ETAs are confusing, so just look at the arrow icon that is moving instead. Reinstalling doesn't help either.
