User Reviews

Reviews are mixed: many users praise real-time arrival data, nearest stops, and a fast, simple interface that helps avoid misses. However, reliability issues, mis-detection of location, and inaccurate times dominate feedback. Several users say the app stopped working on newer iPhones or is no longer maintained, with frequent load errors and data glitches when it does load. Overall, it works when data loads but consistency and maintenance are major concerns.

Pros

Real-time arrival estimates and nearest-stops views.
Simple, fast, easy-to-use interface with quick one-tap arrivals.
Saves time and helps prevent missing buses; often more accurate than Google Maps.
Useful for riders who know their routes; bare-bones but effective for quick checks.
Responsive developer support that fixes issues quickly.

Cons

Reliability issues: frequent loading failures and no data showing up.
Location detection problems: being told you are outside SF or wrong region (for example Berkeley).
Arrival times are often inaccurate or not updated promptly, leading to wrong expectations.
Appears outdated or poorly maintained, with reports of not working on newer iPhones and long-standing issues.
Poor user interface/experience and design quality.

Recent reviews

As the title says, I used to rely on this app several years ago, but it has not worked in at least two years. It should not be in the App Store.

I have had this app. a few years and am about to delete it. I cannot count on it to have up-to-the minute information. Lately, all it says is failure to load and displays no information.
