I'll give it 3 stars. I would give it 4 but I think the app company need to take interest in seeing some very important suggestions. -It should give more information on average transfer times between stations and lines. -Overground lines timetables show up but when a route is shown which involves an overground train like the C2C it should show on the route summary the time that train will arrive at the point of journey planning. -You can only add work and home to the journey planning list as favourites, the rest have to be done manually. -It's not easy finding some stations for example kings cross, it has an underground and rail. I had to search the full name on Google and then type it in the app and make it a favourite. -You should be able to favourite not just the station but the direction...overground for example I might be trying to go one way only. Some of these suggestions can be very helpful when developed. It's a very good app because it's no nonsense and quite straightforward. I like the interfaces of other apps slightly more but overall I think this one is good. The layout and options need to be improved. When the improvements are made then perhaps a 5 star rating is worth giving.

A major update has had a shaky start. Lots of problems but handled pretty quickly. The person responsible for answering comments must have had worked extra hours. In the end it's the same functionality in a new suit. Sure, it does crash when exiting, but that happens after you're done using the app.

I found this app a few weeks ago and it is very reliable and gives a lot of information. I had an other app before this I was not happy with that.

Useful, but can do with a few improvements namely not telling me a bus is coming in 3 minutes and that being complete bullsh*t and telling me no buses are coming within 30 minutes when that is also bullsh*t.

Nice variety of statuses. However, can you arrange for auto-refresh within the list for specific departures. For example, N86 at Chatteris Avenue, when I choose the departure at 0240 and look at the list of stops, these used to automatically refresh as the bus progressed. Now I have to move the screen to achieve this. Four stars only as it stands now.

Great app! Everything I need for bus, underground and overground travel in London Sometimes tricky to find info quickly. Might help to standardise with LT signage graphics if possible
