User Reviews

User reviews consistently praise real-time bus tracking but report widespread reliability problems. Key issues include GPS/location errors causing missed buses, frequent crashes or sign-out problems, slow/unresponsive performance, and inaccurate or missing arrival times. Some users also note find-stop errors and a lack of full route times, with Transit app often recommended as an alternative. Overall, Riverside BusWatch shows potential but stability and data accuracy issues undermine its usefulness.

Pros

Real-time bus location tracking.
Shows arrival times/predictions when functioning.
Provides access to the official bus schedule via a link in the app.

Cons

Frequent GPS/location errors or geotag issues leading to missed buses and incorrect predictions.
App instability: crashes, can’t open, signs you out, and data resets.
Arrival times/predictions are often inaccurate or unavailable.
Slow, sluggish, and unresponsive performance with occasional freezing.
Limited route visibility: inability to view full routetimes and frequent find-stop errors.

Very bad in there time and make me late and the bus not open any time

by Ca*****, 2025-12-15

I downloaded the app because the bus signs said it would help me see when the bus would get here. I opened the app twice and then after that it never let me open the app again. It always said there’s no connection or that there was a problem with the system. Also the app was very confusing to use at first and very buggy. It was difficult to use without the app freezing. A better app to use would be transit. That’s the app that I use and it always tells me what bus to take and when. I do not recommend this app.
