User Reviews

User reviews show the app is helpful for planning trips and navigating Dublin, especially with maps and ETA data, and is valued by visitors. However, repeated concerns center on poor design, unreliable timing information, limited coverage outside Dublin, and a difficult route-search experience, leading to mixed overall usefulness.
Pros
  • Helps plan travel with a map of stops and mostly accurate timelines.
  • Useful for visitors navigating Dublin and surrounding areas.
  • Generally useful once you spend time with it and get accustomed to the app.
Cons
  • Poor design / unintuitive UI across multiple reviews.
  • Inaccurate or unreliable ETAs and sometimes showing incorrect transit options.
  • Limited geographic coverage (primarily useful near Dublin).
  • Difficult or missing ability to search by bus route (compared to older app).
Recent reviews
The app is actually quite helpful for taking a bus around Dublin. Enter the stop number, destination, plan your route. Helpful to know when the next bus is coming so you can time your last pint. What would give the app 5 stars is showing upcoming, next stops. It’s nice that it shows the route live. But the live route doesn’t list the next few stops so it’s a bit of a guessing game when you’re getting close to the destination and there are multiple stops in town.

Vedig dritt! Not as good as VY or ATB Norge.

I can only imagine this app was designed as an effort to give a young student who was new to coding a chance to experience app design for the very first time. I cannot even fathom how an app with only one meaningful function—to let us know when a bus will arrive—fails to do even that.
