About Bongo+
*Created by Omar Tayh, UI undergraduate*
Overview:
Bongo Plus provides users with arrival time predictions for the following three transit agencies: University of Iowa, Iowa City, and Coralville. Bongo+ is not affiliated with eBongo or the University of Iowa and uses the Bongo Developer API in order to provide arrival time predictions and route information. Bongo+ provides the ultimate Bongo experience that users have been waiting for, because I believe that students and the residents of Iowa City and Coralville deserve a better Bongo application.
Features:
• Full Material Design UI
• Dark mode!
• User friendly
• Pull-To-Refresh arrival time predictions
• Favorite stops and routes
• Widget that displays arrival time predictions for favorite stops
• Search stops and routes
• Route maps with markers (including stop info)
• Bus Locations
• Favorites are saved between updates and when you switch phones
Permissions:
• Internet: Pull arrival time predictions from the Bongo Developer API and weather data
• Network State: Check for valid internet connection
• External Storage: Google Maps
• Location: Google Maps, geofences etc.
• Google Services: Google Maps

Very fast and clean. One cool feature to add would be to be able to click on an upcoming bus and to set a notification timer automatically for the bus. Or when you click on a later bus have it send a notification for 5min, 2 min, arriving, etc.

Love the app looks even sleeker than bongo stops. I would like it more if it had the option of displaying the time of departure instead of a countdown.

From first glance, incredible! This app is visually appealing, smooth, simple, yet elegant. University of Iowa students, you guys are the luckiest in he word! I'm glad someone cared enough to put time and effort into improving our lives. The widget is really nifty as well, it'll take some getting used to, but will definitely make bongo much quicker to access. Thanks again! Update: Amazing! New update increases the already insane speeds, great job!

Smoother and faster than the original bongo app. The widget is really convenient with the ability to have all my favorite stops in one place and readily available on my home screen. And unlike the other bongo app, hasn't crashed on me yet.

This is what Bongo should have been. Any University of Iowa student who uses the cambus or Iowa City transit should try this out. You won't go back.
