This app is horrible. I hate to leave a bad review because it is a good thing you’re trying to do with it but this app is so ridiculously inaccurate I don’t know what to say. One minute the bus is 3 minutes away, the next it’s 38. One minute the bus is 40 mins away, the next it’s 4 minutes. I get alerts saying the bus is 5 minutes away only to find myself waiting at the bus stop for 30 minutes because again the app was WRONG... oh and now I’ve missed class! Thanks for that! This app is great in theory but until you fix the bugs this app is not only not helpful, but hurting people. You’re getting people to rely on this app by saying you’re a bus timer when I swear this app only works about 50 percent of the time. Please fix the bugs, until then I’m deleting this and do not recommend anybody else download it.

I have tried catching buses in my medium-sized Southern city with just the paper or online schedule, and it simply doesn’t work as well as this app, which aims to provide real-time tracking of buses along routes. While the app isn’t foolproof — mainly because cities and individual drivers don’t always match the anticipated routes, and the app isn’t equipped to adjust to those changes — it is a real upgrade from other means of ascertaining when a bus will arrive at a particular stop or which other buses make stops at a particular location.

Sometimes when I hit notify me when 5 min away it won’t , but I know the bus times near me so I knew it was coming idk if it was bc the route just started or bc the bus driver takes a break and u can see the bus sitting there idle then boom u look again and it’s almost at ur stop [ I live near a mall where route begins ] also upcoming is sometimes inaccurate u gotta keep watching it to know or look up the times and only check how far it is basically. Once they fix those things it will be unstoppable but overall is a great help
