User Reviews

Reviews show the app is highly valued when working, with accurate real-time arrivals and strong GPS/Wearable support, but updates have degraded reliability. Common complaints include a shift from real-time countdowns to scheduled times (often in 24-hour format), intrusive ads and navigation issues, broken saved-stops access, and occasional data-loading problems (including VPN-related). Users request features like a Lock Screen widget and VPN-friendly operation, but overall sentiment is positive when the data is accurate and the app loads properly.

Pros

Accurate real-time countdown when data is available.
Extremely useful for daily commutes; saves time and helps plan arrivals.
GPS/location accuracy and reliable arrival data.
Apple Watch synchronization and overall user-friendly experience.

Cons

Loss of real-time countdown; app now shows scheduled times (often in 24-hour format), reducing reliability.
Intrusive ads and a difficult UI; saved stops are hard to access or disappear.
Time format switched to military/24-hour time, causing confusion and reducing usefulness.
Saved stops/favorites difficult to access or disappear after updates.
Data loading issues in some scenarios (e.g., VPN on) and intermittent reliability.

Recent reviews

There is an ad constantly appearing trying to scare us into thinking our phone has been compromised. It has no way to cancel it and the buttons that might cancel it are fake. Quoting the app is the only way around it. Fix this or I’ll delete the app

This app has wasted hours of my time in real life by supplying completely made up and randomly fluctuating ETAs whenever a bus has not yet departed its origin
