User Reviews

Users appreciate McGill's Buses app for its real-time bus tracking, ease of ticket purchasing, and user-friendly design, making public transport navigation simpler. However, multiple reports highlight inaccuracies in live tracking, app stability problems, limited payment options without popular services like PayPal, and occasional timetable inaccuracies. Some usability annoyances include overly bright ticket QR codes and missing widget features. Overall, the app is seen as an improvement but still requires refinements to address reliability and user convenience concerns.

Pros

Provides real-time bus location and departure times, helping users plan journeys effectively.
App is generally reliable and easy to use for purchasing and managing tickets.
Supports ticket purchases via app, including displaying scannable QR codes for boarding.
Well designed and responsive user interface, with quality-of-life updates from previous versions.
Helpful for users with disabilities or unfamiliar with public transport to navigate routes and schedules.

Cons

Live bus tracking can be inaccurate or buses not correctly marked as in-service, causing confusion.
Issues with app stability, including crashes during login or loading, reported by multiple users.
Limited ticket purchasing options: no PayPal or Google Pay integration, and forced to save card details raising security concerns.
Problems with bus timetables not updating or showing all relevant routes or stops correctly.
User interface issues such as brightness overexposure of QR codes and widgets or favorite stops disappearing after updates.

Recent reviews

Good service and not too many breakdowns compared to Stagecoach in Aberdeenshire, which we also use a lot.

Honestly wish I had the app when I was a teenager. Recently had to start using my bus pass as I lost my mobility car. The app has honestly helped me manage my disabilities whilst getting about on my own now. Fantabbydosy.
