I use this app every day. It's normally excellent. However, I hate the removal of the dark theme and also the new message icon in the bottom right. This icon stays there even when you have read the message and it blocks out some of the bus times.
Noticed I've been forced to use black text on a white background with no option to return to the old style, hope you can put it can, preferably on the widget too, before I find another app instead.
...when it doesn't (like now), it's pretty awful and just gives timetable info that I can get for free on the net. I'd like my money back, please.
No point updating til you do. Why did you take it away?
Relatively unstable.
Worth the money.
Latest update deleted all my favourites removed the classic bus stop sign and the bus company isnt identified despite what you put on the description - v disappointed
Some bus stops are incorrect eg Birmingham snow hill city centre. Sometimes it shows buses that are not on the way at all. (
Usually is pretty reliable. Altough there is more than usual battery drain.
Great app which I use a lot for my commute. Reasonably accurate most of the time but occasionally says a bus is due and it doesn't appear or the other way round. Otherwise it would be a 5 star
Hasn't worked for the last 2 mornings. Officially unreliable and reverting to the first bus app.
Been using it massively. Life saver. But now does not connect to net or is really slow.
But issues being very slow on update on widget and error message all the time on widget
I wish I could look in the evening and find out bus times the following morning.
This app is so useful wherever you are in the UK. Well worth getting the paid for version.
Widget not working. Pls fix
Hasn't let me down yet. Highly recommended.
Useful seems pretty consistent.
Works a treat in Central Scotland
Very useful indeed
Excellent app cannot be faulted
Great app and always correct.
Makes buses useable!
Brilliant.
Love it!
Very useful - saves me £££ on SMS at bus stops, much more flexible, can track my journey. Only gripe: there are dodgy ads on the free app so I bought the pay app. When it installed it did not replace the free app, so I had a bit of hassle working out which was which; had to uninstall both apps and re-install the paid one. Worth every penny. Try the free app, and if you like it and want to buy, uninstall the free one immediately before installing the paid one.
I use this all the time. Worth every penny. If bus doesn't have live data the app defaults to the timetable, so still uaeful. A lot of the busses in my village dont use live updates. Some do. Near citys most do and ist bang on. Saves waiting, getting wet and cold... great :-)
Use it all the time. Recently had reason to uninstall and reinstall. Wondered why I was now getting ads on screen although I had paid for the app. Found out that it had not recognised it as already paid and loaded the free ad version. An indispensable app for us doomed to use buses!
Really don't need to buy this app the free one is just as good, love this app, spot on with the times, location, would be better if delays are shown, or bus out of service. It will find any bus not just first Leeds. Keep up the good work. Best app
Very useful and accurate, even the widget is always working. I've also purchased the no-ads version, because I think the developers really deserve it
Doesnt work when using mobile data, I want my money back!
Android Wear support? A "next bus" countdown from your closest stop or favourite stop in the complications on Android Wear 2.0 would be perfect.
I use public transport a lot as part of my support work and this makes my job so much easier. Great for getting to places I've never been to before!
Fast accurate, easy to use, easy to customize. Keeps getting better. One of the best value apps around!
A useful app that takes away the guess work.
Very good and current information, cannot fault. Do yourself a favour and buy it.
Great for checking out motor home site for bus times routes. WORKS.
I've tried other bus apps, this is the one I keep coming back to.
Brilliant app, it gets better too!
