## Review summary

GopherTrip is easy to use and offers location-based route visibility with a moving bus icon, which helps planning. However, users repeatedly report inaccurate arrival times, limited coverage beyond campus, unreliable live data (no refresh), and inconsistent route directions, making real-time planning frustrating.

### Pros

- Easy to use with clear route information.
- Shows routes relative to your location and indicates how many buses are on each route.
- Visual bus-tracking with a moving bus icon helps users gauge bus movement.
- Provides necessary information to plan trips and is generally helpful for campus routes.

### Cons

- Arrival times are frequently inaccurate and unreliable, often jumping from minutes to longer waits.
- Coverage is limited to campus/downtown; not useful for off‑campus commuting.
- Live-tracking data reliability is problematic, with outdated timestamps and no clear manual refresh option.
- Route directions are inconsistent or unreliable, with some routes seeming to run one-way or not reflect actual bus movement.
