Wrong listings, wrong times, existing bus stops don't appear to exist on the app, stops that haven't existed in years, however, do. How old are the maps you are using? Completely useless. Can't exit the app via back button either. Poorly coded, long outdated tosh. Unsurprising, seeing how the latest update was like three years ago. This app should be pulled from the store.

A nice app -- lots of useful info. But unfortunately, it's a memory hog, and I have only 1GB available in my Nexus S. I found I had to lighten the load, and the other transit apps I have (TransitDB and LiveTransit) provided much the same info but with much less impact on primary memory.

I love this app, so easy to use and has all the stops and times. Also the times it gives you are not 100% accurate, they are usually 3-5 mins early which is actually useful.

CANNOT QUIT, EXIT, CLOSE!! - - - - - - Surely the concept of a means to stop, end, close, exit, or quit is not too difficult? - - - - - Otherwise it would be a good and very useful app.

Edit. I liked older version, could use offline. Now everything is messed up, I know it can be used offline but it doesn't open routes like before. Also it looks obvious that it targets people who use connection. Uninstalling.

This app is amazing, saves me time almost every day. However I frequently need to see when the 106 new west/metro town bus runs and all the info and stops are wrong. Just hoping it could be fixed.

Decent interface. Would've liked to be able to search both nextbus and routes from the same box like on the translink site. Does not show Community bus routes (e.g. C3), under route search. Also, clicking back doesn't exit the app properly nor is there an exit button.

I checked the C70 (and double checked it with Translink) and that schedule still shows a half hourly service on Saturday, even though that was discontinued in September 2012. It's now April 2013
