## Description

UTSA The ‘Runner provides real-time arrival information for UTSA’s bus system.

## Rankings

- #292,960 — Overall

## Review summary

Top pros: live GPS tracking of buses and real-time location data; GPS tracking can reduce waiting time when it works; some reports of accurate routing/times when the app loads. Top cons: ETA accuracy is the most common complaint, followed by stability issues (crashes/freezes/white screens) and occasional map problems (missing buses/icons). Overall, the GPS feature is helpful but reliability and loading performance are major drawbacks across many reviews.

### Pros

- Real-time GPS tracking shows bus location on the map in real time.
- GPS-based tracking can help reduce waiting time when it functions.
- Some users report the app provides routing data and times when it loads (accurate routes/times).

### Cons

- Bus ETAs are frequently inaccurate or unreliable.
- App crashes, freezes, or won't start (white screen) on load.
- Buses sometimes do not appear on the map or bus icons disappear.
- The app occasionally lacks built-in scheduled times.
- Overall slow and glitchy performance.
