SEStran Bus for Android
Terrible app. Only tells you the very next bus for each service/stop. No actual timetable or future busses.
Says my bus stop code is invalid. Useless app for Markinch in Fife.
App no longer shows X27 Glasgow to Kirkcaldy service. Same with your monitors at Halbeath Park and Ride. No use to me as that's the only bus I use there. Been all week like this.
Good when works
Underdeveloped, lack of proper data app, would not even rate it a beta release - extremely poor, misses out Perrymans main bus server in SE corner of Scotland. Hope Council did not put money into this. Much better go Google Maps, switch on Public Transport and zoom into bus stop, gives timetables at least!
This app used to be great to track First Busses in East Lothian, and was particularly useful to me as I work out there. Unfortunately now I cannot get it to work at all. I've tried uninstall and reinstalling to no avail. It won't let me get as far as the main icon menu anymore. I technically have an 'old' smartphone now compared to most so maybe the app no longer supports my phone? Very disappointed as I used to love the app.
This app is supposed to provide live tracking. It doesn't. It also gave poor information compared to the timetable. Waste of time.
This app no longer shows Kirkcaldy town services. Giving it a week to sort it or I'm uninstalling to free up space it is currently wasting.
No buses showing for Musselburgh even when I keyed in code for high street don't know what area it's meant to cover as only 10 min from Edinburgh
Really good
This app is very good for giving me live updates from First buses in West Lothian. It does not cover some of the smaller operators (e.g Horsburgh) presumably as they don't have the transponders. (If the app is v1.2 and keeps crashing every time it opens: uninstall the app, then shut down and restart the phone/tablet and download the app again from the app store)
Was great when it was working now keeps saying check your Internet connection. Also won't let me save favourite stops.
When the app updates it completely wipes all your favourites. That's not helpful at all.
Sadly this app looks dated and feels clunky despite being relatively new. There are weird looking settings like "data cache" and "configuration management" which have no place in a consumer app. I wish SESTrans would focus on getting real time data into other platforms like Google Maps instead of wasting resource on a poor and underused app.
Open the app up been on WiFi and mobile data and keeps saying could not connect to the server please check your Internet connection??? Please help
Very often not real time tracking for First nos 27& 28 Edinburgh to Bathgate. You cannot remove a bus stop from your favourites. App needs improved.
Since after Christmas every search returns no result. Removed and installed app again which didn't resolve the problem
Dosent give us the 7 7a and 7b 7c in fife. Good ap.

Very good when it works. That's the problem; more often than not the app crashes/fails to load. Please correct this. #Android - 19/11/14 Thanks, still have server not loading so uninstalled and reinstalled as suggested. Not sure thats the fix for server not loading but we'll see next time I need to use it.
I was at my bus stop before my bus was due. The app said the bus was due at the time on the board. The bus came 22 minutes after that. This is relative to the 40. This app has no benefits over the Travelline Scotland app.
Doesn't have individual buses moving around on the map as the title suggests. Other than that, it's a pretty good app
On the whole, it works very well for First bus 27/28 services in West Lothian. Found it very helpful, when the buses are usually less than punctual. Unfortunately some buses don't have tracker fitted, or more often it's not working, resulting in a estimated time showing.

Has had server errors for last 2 days preventing any connection!hard to tell if buses are using tracker data as only space for one icon but most buses don't seem to!not fit for purpose.
This doesn't track the buses, it merely provides an overview of the buses timetable. So its pointless when buses are consistently late, as doesn't actually tell you the bus will be late.
Eg, seeking departures for Service 62A at Old Town South Bridge, Edinburgh at 0911. I got at best 3 evening services only! What's that about?

The most pointless app ever, doesnt track anything, telks you in minutes when bus is due "according to timetable" any bus company app tells you that, font waste memory on this.
