## Rankings

- #232,174 — Overall

## Review summary

User reviews repeatedly flag reliability problems: frequent loading crashes, slow startup, and inaccurate or outdated time predictions. Users also find it hard to locate stops or search by area, and dismissible alerts are problematic. A map is noted as easy to use, and a recent update fixed a startup freeze for some users, but overall the app remains inconsistent and unreliable for regular transit use.

### Pros

- When it loads, bus locations are fairly accurate.
- Map is easy to use.
- A recent update fixed the freezing/opening screen issue.

### Cons

- Frequent loading/crashing on startup; the app often won’t open or takes a long time to respond.
- Time predictions are inaccurate or not updated, often off by several minutes and not reflected during schedule changes.
- Finding stops or areas to search is cumbersome; there is no effective area/stop search.
- Alerts or pop-ups can obscure functionality and are not always dismissible.
- Reliability/data updates are inconsistent; older iOS versions have compatibility issues and reinstalling the app is sometimes required.
