GT Buses

Great job on the app! Two things though: 1. Every time I zoom into the app, it zooms me back out if I’m moving. Its super annoying to use if I’m walking for that reason. Please get rid of that. 2. The names of the routes are not legible. Consider changing the UI there to have it fit.

It solely focuses on GT campus. The map is always going to be the same map, it usually does not allow you to span to other areas outside campus (and use it like a google map), which makes it purely goal-oriented. It does not retrieve your location information! Given GT students are mostly familiar with the campus, the need for knowing her/his current location on campus by using the app is dispensable. Besides, I personally consider location information as part of my privacy, and the app serves the purpose without getting into this “turbid water” by not asking for users’ location. Of course, the sole focus on only GT campus this relatively small area also helps contribute to that. Even without your real time location, the app still tells you the names of the bus stops, shows buses’ current locations, and predicts the bus arriving time!

Love this app the only qualm I have is it now has no predictions for the buses but since you can see where they are that helps. If you fix the predictions that’d be great! Way better than the new app.
