Recent reviews

Baffling that you can't just view timetables. That should be the very first feature developed. You can view times for a particular bus for about the next two hours so it's no good if you are planning ahead. The route planning is better in Google Maps. Viewing live bus times is the only useable feature (when it works).

Considering this replaced the stagecoach app for me, I was expecting a reasonably similar experience. Unfortunately it's just a big downgrade, you can't easily see buses around you, you don't get estimated times of arrival, the view is buggy and the ui is unintuitive. I hope they continue to improve this app, because at the moment it's mediocre.
