Crashes all the time 75% of the time I have to open it three times before I can get far enough to actually check a bus status.

The only thing worse than CATA's bus service is their app which wont even open properly

This app has been down on the android version for the past 5 weeks or so and it doesn't seem like cata has made any effort to fix it. Half the time the app would just close unexpectedly anyway with an error saying "unfortunately, cata has stopped". At least the transportation services drivers aren't as bad as their technical service.

I would not ride CATA if it wasn't the only option in town strictly because of this app. Doesn't work more often than it does. "Stops working" at least once every time I attempt to use it. Would rate it a 0 if I could.

Works pretty well, buses sometimes disappear from route, and are a few minutes behind. What really bothers me about this app is that I have to restart it every few seconds due crashes. Running this app on a stock LG Nexus 5X.

For the last week it has been crashing every single time I open it (android). This app is great when it actually works though. Please fix it!

Useful when it works - which is pretty rarely. Once it starts crashing it never allows me to open it again unless I uninstall & reinstall which doesn't last for long.

Much better with the last update but it's inconvenient to figure out which direction the buses go (is. Green and red link). Please find a way to make the direction of the bus more clear.

I would love to use this if it didn't crash all the time. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling and nothing has worked. It doesn't even open before crashing. Please fix

App crashes constantly. That's no app, that's a waste of memory on my phone.

Design needs more directions for user navigation, app crashes 7/10 times. Bus route changeover is not specified. 2 starts for making life less miserable

As of this week (12/7/15), this app has stopped working (due to a bad update, I suppose). Moto X

Installed it... And every single time I tried to use it, it crashed. Literally didn't even open once. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same problem. I installing for good. This used to be a really good app but it's useless now.

The app is useful when it wants to be. But it crashes constantly and is more annoying than useful.

This horrendous app either crashes or does not open at all whenever I really need it. And there have been several occasions where I was at a bus stop and the bus that the app said was coming in a minute never showed up but the app said it did. Terrible

Sometimes it would mix up the pictures of the bus routes. Not a huge deal. But sometimes the app would not open the routes, especially if you went from a WIFI connection to mobile data or vice versa. It used to be okay if you close the app and/or restart the device, but I haven't gotten it to even open the app without crashing for the past week, even after a re-install.

Every time I open the app, it crashes immediately. I can't use it to see where the buses are, which makes it extremely inconvenient for me when I want to use the bus.

Wouldn't be a bad app if it actually worked. Download cata+, it's far more reliable.

Over the 2 years I've gone to Penn State, I think I've been able to use this app once. It just crashes instantly when I try to open it. I feel as though it's never going to get fixed.
