Although the app installs on my older Android (2.1) phone, it doesn't work properly. It seems to rely on the newer Google Maps - version 6.14.4 which is only compatible with Android versions 4.0.3+. Earlier Android versions (4.0.2 and below) don't have all the hardware capabilities and API needed for this app to work properly. On my phone, the app loads, but there is no "Maps" tab. Also, the developer does not mention, that the app relies on the phone network to locate you initially. However, you must enable "Google location" in your phone location and privacy settings, otherwise you will get a "request failed" message when you first load it. The app works well on my other later model Android phone, and it works like magic! If this app had its issues ironed out it would be even more fantastic!
"request failed" then force close when trying to open. rooted x10 mini 2.1 stock.

First thing is it force close down every time i open or switch back to the app after a long while. "Departure" function can be much better if i can click on the item and it will then show the actual route of that bus on map. That said if i found bus 452 in Departure then i click on it, it shows its route on map. Also, can we add favourite location which i can use when routing.?
