What are users saying about SeptaDroid

R70%
by R####:

Lists upcoming bus times, but doesn't list already-past times which is important when you have been waiting for a while (since septa is often late). Usable minimal interface but lacks features.

J70%
by J####:

I keep Trying to load schedule for today Saturday. and it just says Currently No Data. I have a full data connection as well as I am on my wifi, this was working fine last night, and now is of no use to me if it cant pull up any data.

L70%
by L####:

The only thing I find annoying about this app is that it does not show the Saturday schedule for the 310. Other than that, I use this pretty much everyday to get to work.

M70%
by M####:

Once the apps give u the right time it can get 4 stars but right now the times they give you are for noon but it's 8am! Also next update we should be able to plan our traveling to and from.

M70%
by M####:

Says no data when I have full bars. No trouble loading the advertisement at the bottom of the screen though.

Z70%
by Z####:

It's been quite awhile since this app displayed LUCY bus times. I found the app great up until then. It seems there are no more updates being made to the app, though, which is a shame because adding the shortcuts was brilliant and very helpful.

R70%
by R####:

Had this app. for years never a problem till now. Time is 4 hrs. off no indication how to fix help

M70%
by M####:

The app is good but there are some things they you need to fix. When you look for a bus route and it let you know that there is no data or wrong information. Other than that I'm happy

M70%
by M####:

The bus schedule is always wrong the 92 was 45minuts late today and when i complained they said the time was weekend time but it said thurs 7:53 am was the next bus

M70%
by M####:

Either stops or says no data! Really a shame; when it works--infrequently -- it's great.

G70%
by G####:

The text lines wrap on top of the next line. Cannot read times. Droid 4.

S70%
by S####:

out of the 10 to 15 times I've tried using this it was wrong 100 percent of the time. this sucks!

K70%
by K####:

I'm not understanding why I can not view any schedules for any bus, trolley, or train this sucks -_-

R70%
by R####:

I love this app better then any of the other apps I find that this app is easy to use then the others ones thank you AEW

R70%
by R####:

Still too many "Currently no data"'s for my liking. Keep refreshing and eventually it comes up.

P70%
by P####:

Since my phone updated to lollipop, this app hasn't worked. Uninstalled. Would love to come back. I'll keep checking but for now I have to use another app :-(

Z70%
by Z####:

New UI is prettier. 2 big bugs I've found: -Ads sometimes take up half the screen blocking the next button at least on a train search. -refreshing a search sometimes reverses the direction. Happens for my favorites and other searches I've done. The app does work for me and I do rely on its accurate (rail) information.

E70%
by E####:

This is trash it's only 10 am and it's giving me times for 3 in the afternoon

M70%
by M####:

No matter what bus stop or train stop I pick there is no data. No matter what time of day or the day of the week there is no data. The version on iOS is way better. It actually loads data.

Z70%
by Z####:

This app was amazing thrn one day it started giving out the wrong times. Its 8:45am n it's telling me the bus comes at 5:10pm. Please fix this problems I uninstalled then re- installed it and it's the same

M70%
by M####:

Busses hardly ever on time. Why did you take the real-time off the app?

M70%
by M####:

It shows the wrong time & route time slow & doesn't refresh!

A70%
by A####:

I've missed multiple buses multiple times because the schedule is off by like 4-8 minutes... Are u serious...

Q70%
by Q####:

Would give it 5 stars if it showed all times for trains, not just from the current time forward. Maybe ones that left already could be slightly transparent or something.

A70%
by A####:

It was good in the beginning but then i start looking for a bus that comes at 3pm and it gives me the schedule for the next day smhh UPDATE

M70%
by M####:

Sometimes schedule times are wrong. I find myself just going to septas website for correct times.

M70%
by M####:

It works fast. It gives you the times when the next train/trolley/bus is coming. Very useful

Q70%
by Q####:

For some reason it's happened to me even b4 the update it doesn't show the number 1 schedule on Saturdays it shoes all other days except because the bus doesn't run on that day but it does run on Saturdays so why doesn't it show any times??? Please fix other then that it works pretty good in my phone

Realtime display of buses and trains are super helpful. Not a big fan of how it shows routes

M70%
by M####:

Good for catching the bus when its cold r to hot out.

T70%
by T####:

Randomly tells me there's currently no data and won't being up schedules, despite having 4G and being connected to wifi.

C70%
by C####:

I wish a new bus line can take over but the city fucked it up and the app doesn't work at all

S70%
by S####:

Lately (lazy 30 days) its been screwing up. Wrong times.....trying other apps

F70%
by F####:

Great concept, never works for regional train times - I always get the error " currently no data". Please update this app!

D70%
by D####:

Currently no data? What does that mean? This app is a good reflection of the poor SEPTA service we endure.

N70%
by N####:

Works fine initially. And then, after several weeks, when you go to see when the next train or bus is, you get the following . . . "Currently no data" . . . "Currently no data" . . . "Currently no data" . . . "Currently no data" . . . "Currently no data" . . . "Currently no data" . . . . . . Get the picture? . . . UNINSTALLING.

W70%
by W####:

This is helpful only in the fact that it exists. Basically, it just gives you the schedules of routes, which, occasionally, can't even be relied upon. That's inexcusable when you consider that even Google MAPS is more accurate (about 8:10). And the Google map feature built into it is worthless. I highly suggest downloading SEPTAInstant instead - it's waaay better.

S70%
by S####:

A couple of updates ago they made it so the arrival time gets printed over by the arrival time and can no longer read the departure time. It doesn't happen on all schedules but it does when the location is long worded. Would give 5 stars if they just abbreviate the word station or street. Especially 30th Street Station.

W70%
by W####:

Love the app. I'm a student and take the train into Philly everyday, and most days I'm never on the same train. This is one of my most used apps. My only complaint is that doesn't say whether the train is express or local. If it could have that integrated into it, it would be perfect. Without sounding like a whiney, annoying 5 year old...any chance the express/local distinctions could get displayed? That would make life infinitely easier. Either way, thanks for the app!! Great job!!
