App is intuitive and still packed with info. Whatever I need as a transit veteran is only a click away, but it's easy to show to immigrants & tourists, they grasp how to use and why, immediately. Great speed, great design. Small app. Big utility. Breaks my heart to see all the one-star reviews. That's the fault of the transit agencies: if THEIR public GPS bus data is missing, offline, or inaccurate, the app is only as good as your local transit agency's data feed. Not the fault of the app.

The iOS version was great. On Android, not so much. When looking at the details of a route, you can't see what the continuing route is, so essentially it's truncated. Which is the most debilitating flaw. For instance, if I want to catch the 31 at Troll Ave., I can't see which ones turn into 75 and which don't. Some smaller issues are, if you hit see trip details and then go back, you're taken back all the way to the general map, and there is no real time map option for specific buses

The GPS feature is never accurate. Every single day it gives the wrong times, early or late. I leave this review based in what happened today. For half an hour leading up to me catching the bus, it said is was 6 minutes EARLY. I refreshed just to check a few times and it didn't change. I scrambled to the stop to not be late. Then, when I check, it's suddenly 7 minutes LATE. I am pretty sure we don't use multidemintional bus coaches, so the GPS need fixing. I've missed the bus too many times.

I was using this app every day, multiple times a day. It was honestly the most helpful app I had ever downloaded. Then it stopped working one day. It doesn't show any of the stops on the map anymore, if I search a route number it will come up but when I select it, it says it can't load the information. It's like the entire app crashed and can't connect to the server. I've tried clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling, but no luck. Which is a real bummer because I loved this app. 😢

Solid app but could use a few improvements. Would be nice if when viewing the schedule of a stop at a time when there is no service to have an option to autoload the first trip data instead of displaying "No arrivals for the next X hour(s)." Don't need to know when a bus won't be there, and some stops require a lot of tapping on the "Load more arrivals" button to display the first trips for the next service day.

This has been a great app in the past but it's no longer accurate. Busses show up that the app doesn't know about and it's frequently wrong by more than five minutes about bus times when it does know about them. Not sure if something changed in the system and the route maps and being able to check which routes go to a stop is great, but the actual bus arrivals are wholy unreliable.
