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
I pickup up a Leap Visitor card and downloaded the app on a Dublin visit and it performed like clockwork. Right on time, navigation worked spot on, very reliable stop info. Loved it and talked it up whenever I had the chance. No more of that flattery, as here we are 3 years later and I just walked to two (distant) stops that were totally wrong. When I was on a bus over the past few days, the navigation does not function, and each relatively short journey seems to involve 25 minutes on foot and one minute on the bus. The app developer must be heavily invested in Uber, as that is what I am writing this review from now just so I can get to where I need to go in time for an important appointment. Needs some work, lads!

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.
