## Description

UIUC Bus provides real-time information about CUMTD bus stops, routes, and departures for the UIUC campus and the Champaign-Urbana area. It shows stops near you, up-to-date departure times, live bus location, bus routes, and a map of all CUMTD stops. 

Unlike Google Maps' scheduled times, UIUC Bus keeps timings up to date in real time so you know when a bus is early or late. You can favorite stops for quick access and stay on top of your daily commutes with fast, reliable transit information.

## Review summary

Most reviews complain about the latest update degrading the app. Users lament removal of essential features like refreshing and live bus tracking, disappearance of stops on the map, and loss of favorited stops. The UI is described as cluttered and less intuitive, with the map overly busy and ads distracting. Timeliness and accuracy of live bus data are inconsistent, and the app sometimes crashes when viewing routes or stops. A few users still recall the old version as the best and most reliable.

### Pros

- Previously accurate and reliable for bus times and live location
- Easy-to-use interface with near-me stops and individual stop icons (pre-update)
- Was a go-to/best transit app for UIUC/Champaign-Urbana

### Cons

- Update removed core features (refresh, live bus location, showing stops on map, favorited stops)
- UI became cluttered and less intuitive; map too busy; ads at bottom
- Live updates often inaccurate; buses disappear or show wrong times
- App crashes or stability issues when viewing routes/stops
- Nearby stops/location inaccurate
