Credit to the app, it does help find the closest bus. Other than that, it's very unhelpful and unintuitive. It took several clicks to get anywhere. I could not easily see which bus went to where I needed to be (on a map). The map does not show real time where the bus is. The map has much more lag than a regular Google map. I'd suggest using Google maps to quickly find which bus to take, and only use this app to find when the next bus will arrive, if even then.

The app can't even find the bus I'm sitting in. It has no real time tracking ability, it simply gives you the bus schedule. In its current iteration it isn't just useless but actively harmful. If you were to believe it you could miss your bus.

Standing across the street from my stop, tells me the bus is 27 minutes away and I look up from the app to watch it roll by. Nothing realtime at all

Twice today this app told me my bus was 15 minutes away, and the bus came 45 minutes later. There are some serious issues with the app.

This app need to be worked on. When you put your bus number it doesn't show and only show something like this-----. Please do something on your app asap

It's just giving you scheduled times but the buses are often late or early. So it will think bus came already when it didn't or dudnt when it did.

Ride On times are almost always scheduled. For an app called Ride On Real Time, it sure is not living up to its name.

As many others have noted, the name of this app is a lie. This does not provide real time bus arrival information like Nextbus. On top of that, it's really poorly thought out. For example, search for a route and you're presented with a map, but as far as I can tell there's no way of getting a schedule.

The concept is ideal: know when the bus is coming and adjust to that knowledge in real time. Sadly, the app operates in fantasy land at least for the 12,16, and 18 routes that go through Takoma Park, MD. Here's the experience over the last week: A bus appears on list to arrive in 5 minutes. Five minutes pass, no bus. It vanishes. Next bus to arrive in 12 minutes. What happened? This has occurred three days in a row. My ankle is sprained. I really wanted this to work. It's a tease.

The bus don't come on time I always have to wait more than 30 minuts even though that iam 10 minuts early waiting for the bus.

If your definition of "real time" is up-to-date information such as how long it will take for a bus to reach your stop, then don't download this app. It is merely a tool to provide the schedule despite "real time" in the name. You are better off going to the ride on website and pulling the schedule.

I don't understand the meaning of this app ... I live in Montgomery County and ride RideOn for my commute. I finally downloaded this app today and uninstalled 1 minute later. The app didn't give me times for any route. Real Time or Scheduled.

I've used a lot of apps in many cities for catching public transportation. This is by far the worst. Gives you the schedule and route but nothing more. Might as well distribute paper route maps and schedules.

The Ride On Real Time app does have issues. The list of available buses can be "Scheduled" or "Real Time". When a bus is "realtime" it can be off by a minute or 2. The "schedule" is well the schedule. I always click the Where's My Ride button. I find this the most relevant. It is important to refresh your screen or go back to Home page and click Where's My Ride again. Yes they need to fix software issues with the GPS tracking software.
