I given this a one Star. Because it did not give me the Busaras time table. These are the buses outside Dublin. I did not get what I was looking for. That's why I am Scoring you and your team O out of 10. That's bad over all. I was looking for the time table from Dublin to Clonmel. I typed in the information from Dublin to Clonmel. It came back telling me the details can't be found. One Star for the let down this afternoon. What a shame.

Buses never on time, sometimes the bus will say it's due in 5 minutes, then it will completely disappear, leaving me to wait for the next one. Useless bus service. App is redundant without updated bus positions and times.

Gets schedules wrong surprisingly often, and I do not mean those caused by the bus being late.

Yesterday I was waiting 1 hour and 40 mins for a 133 bus that was due in 6,9,15 minutes, etc... Today a bus was due at 15:36 and it was already well gone at that time, next one at 4:06 "due in 3 minutes" and I was already on it @ 4:00pm!!

Hardly developers fault for misinformation if its sourced from the nta who only give out timetable times instead of Accurate location of buses. Would be nice if the app used a map and gps to show distance to nearest bus stop, then just click the bus stop to see the info. Instead you have to know the bus number or stop name which is not always obvious in Limerick. (Lots of bus signs non existence here)

Not sure why all the complaints, lads, much handier than Bus Eireann's text service. Works perfectly for me, tends to give an error when the bus is less than 5mins away, otherwise accurate.

Why do you request my Network Operator (phone company), my Network Interface (MAC address) and my phone serial number? These are all very personal pieces of data (some unique to me). I blocked it using XPrivacy and the app still worked.

I was waiting on the bus. App bus said bus would arrive in 29 minutes. I was already on the bus at this time. Of no real benefit . Also app did not refresh automatically. Had to refresh to get updated time.

Previous version had invasive permissions but this version has no unnecessary permissions plus it's simpler than the 'official' app. Well done and thanks.
