Review summary

Users appreciate Singabus for its simple and clean design, fast loading, and generally accurate bus arrival times. Features like saving favorite bus stops adaptive to location are well-liked. However, multiple reviews mention inaccuracies in bus timings causing missed buses and frustration. The Android version lacks some features present in the iOS app, like real-time bus tracking and operating hours. Users report glitches like frozen timings, app crashes, scrolling issues, and inconvenient UI elements such as small fonts and missing refresh button. Overall, the app is useful but can improve accuracy and stability.

Pros

Accurately shows bus arrival times most of the time.
Simple, clean, and user-friendly interface with easy navigation.
Allows saving favorite bus stops which reorder based on user location.
Fast loading and practical UI combining a map and bus list.
Generally reliable for frequent bus commuters.

Cons

Inaccurate or outdated bus arrival timings leading to missed buses.
Lack of features compared to iOS version, eg. no real-time bus location tracking or operating hours.
Issue with app glitches such as timing freeze, incorrect scroll behavior, and crashing especially after backgrounding.
Small font size and poor visibility of entered search text.
No refresh button on main page, making it inconvenient to update timings.

2025-01-07	Jo*****	Very useful app. Bus timings are quite accurate.
Very useful app. Bus timings are quite accurate.
2024-11-30	Ru*****	I love the app, most simple yet good looking UI for me. I would give it a 5 star but I switched from iOS to Android. On iOS, clicking on a bus number would give the first bus and last bus timing but this is absent from Android. It'll be perfect if this was implemented.

2024-10-21	Mo*****	Probably one of the worst bus app I've ever used. Its super inaccurate. Even Google Maps is more accurate than this app. Seriously this app has caused me so much issues. Anyone looking to download, i dont recommend, other bus apps or google maps are much better.

2024-09-27	Jo*****	This app allows me to save favourite bus stop. The saved bus stops will change position automatically according to my location. It shows the minutes to bus arrival, double or single decker and wheel chair availability. The above are the plus factors. The down side is that the wordings are very small, difficult to read. When I performed search, the word that l keyed in are not visible. Looking forward to seeing improvement on that. Thanks.

2024-09-18	Re*****	Doesn't show the operating hrs of the buses as compared to the same app on iOS Can we also have the refresh button on the top page instead of having it in respective bus stop tab?

2023-11-04	Fa*****	Overall experience was good but lack in the functionality. Why this application on iOS is possible to tracking bus real-time location but not with Android version. Were this two version uses different API?

2023-10-25	Nu*****	Inaccurate app. A single deck 857 arrived at the bus stop and the app showed another double deck 857 arriving within 2 mins. Since the single deck was crowded I trusted the app and was willing to wait for the next. After the Double Deck showed as "Arriving", it disappeared from the app and no bus came. The next bus was another 14 mins away. Lucky I always leave early, but the stupid app risked me being late.

2023-07-12	Wi*****	App is great, accurately shows bus timing. However, do note that buses in the morning may come a minute or two earlier than estimated time due to lesser crowd, in contrast to night time where buses may come slightly late. Only problem is that a few times I had to wait over 15 minutes for a bus claiming to arrive in 3 minutes, was tired after training and just wanted to reach home fast.

2023-01-08	Te*****	I have used this app as a sec4 for years and it has always been reliable to me Some people say that this app is inaccurate but if you refresh it py pressing the loop button the results will be accurate in a 3 min range :>

2022-10-30	Ma*****	Poor data provided. App shows bus arriving in 3 mins but it never came until 20 mins later. Sometimes the timing freezes - it is always 3 mins for a good 5 mins. The number of times such cases happen has been on the rise, showing the increasingly unreliability of this app.
