## Review summary

Most reviews acknowledge basic functionality (finding stops and timetables) and some smooth operation, but a large number fault the latest redesign for poor UX, the loss of the widget, ticketing/ID problems, location-permission prompts, and reliability/data-loss issues after updates.

### Pros

- Core functionality to locate bus stops and view timetables is working for many users.
- App can run smoothly and is usable for some users.
- Timings are generally accurate according to reviewer feedback.

### Cons

- Poor UX/UI after redesign leading to a cluttered interface and many extra taps.
- Widget removal eliminates a key quick-check feature.
- Ticketing/Deutschlandticket issues including ID verification, login, and QR not shown.
- Frequent location-permission prompts and privacy concerns.
- Data loss after updates and reliability problems (data/favorites wiped, wrong connections).
