Big board looks terrible now. Too big. Simple clear bus schedule was the only thing making this app worth keeping on the phone. I'm gonna have to resort to citymapper from now on.
Horrible update. I loved the dot matrix text. This looks very cheap now
The large new text looks awful
Really accurate bus timings... Love it!!
Don't like the new white background
Hate the new look
Please do not remove app functionality or options without advising your customers. I prefer the classic panel not just because of its resemblance to the real one, but because it provides the the route destination. Please bring it back or explain the reasons for its removal or just leave it as an option. The new panel is not that modern and even on AMOLED screen it is not efficient given the white background. Not impressed.
I use this app every day and have always thought it was great! However in the last week or so bus route 170 has been disappearing from some of its regular stops. Five stars as soon as that gets fixed!
Use this fairly often amongst various other travel apps. Works great and saves me loads of time waiting around needlessly. Only issue is recently the search has stopped working entirely. Fix this and it's 5 stars.
An excellent Bus Checker app I ever had on my Android phone! Easy to use & quick, & accurate! I like to know if with this Android app, can I rename the bus stops so I can remember which stop is shown on my favourite screen? On an old model iPhone that my brother has, he can rename any stop. Be great if Android app could to do that too. I gave it 5 stars plus! One thing I like to ask, how do I stop my favourite stops from changing places where I had the most favourite stop on top?
Why did you change the bus times display? I used to have the option of the classic look. Now it just looks childish. Update: Thanks for the response. I managed to find an older apk on another device. All good now.
There have been a few bus strikes on the 266 and it doesn't always let you know. It just keeps refreshing the blank page. Otherwise the app is really useful
This app used to be incredibly reliable and accurate. In recent months, however, it underestimates the time that EVERY bus will take to arrive by about 50%. This naturally is massively frustrating. I'll be looking out for a more accurate alternative.
I cant use bus stop codes, bus stop names don't come up. Only GPS and area names work
i was recommended this app by a TfL bus supervisor, while waiting for a bus at work. i've tried a few over the years, but i have stuck with this one as probably the best on the market. it works!
I loved this app until my phone upgraded to android marshmallow now the thing I used the most: the bus times widget doesn't work. If you are using a pre marshmallow phone definitely get it though.
Great if a stop is already in your favourites, but map and search both terrible on 3G. All I see is grey squares. Developers - can you help?
This app has always been so liable. In the last few weeks all times have been totally wrong. Please fix it
Great App,But why has the bus route 681 disappeared? It is a school/normal route bus that really helped. I await your response
Crashes every single time. Reinstalled previous.
Generally extremely good and easy to use. Got a bit confused in Oxford Street recently mainly due to the vast no of bus stops.
Love the ability to view the bus route. Let's you check it goes the right way and locate the best stop to get off at.
I've found this app really useful, it's easy to navigate and in my experience it's been 99% accurate, only out by a couple of minutes. Best I've tried!
It's quick, very accurate, does exactly as it's supposed to. Use it daily
Brilliant app. Have just discovered the widget which gives easy access to arrivals at your favourite stops
Use it everyday in the morning and everytime when i need in. If you live in London this is one of the most essential apps you can buy/download
It's getting better.
Been using for long time, a few issues once in a while but quickly fixed
Improved a lot, but I'd just reinstall it let see later on ....
But otherwise it's almost perfect.
Great app if you are unfortunate enough to have to rely on London buses
Great little app be lost without it.
I have used a lot of these apps and this is by far the best one. Fast and simple but powerful.
Completely changed the way I use public transport living in London.
Fantastic app
I do love this app it is my life saver everyday
Its a very very accurate service. Worth the price. No issues
Brilliant, Just brilliant.
The aplication is very usefull

Wheres the dot matrix arrival board gone. Text too large now. Bad mistake. Oh and in London they are routes not lines (seems latest version gone all transatlantic)
