I love using this app. You can save your usual bus stops, and the times are ACCURATE. When im on my bus I can look ahead to see if my connection will be on time at my next stop! Do I need to run or am I okay? Takes all the stress out of bussing. I can wait inside while still viewing the LIVE bus times. Like actually live. It's having a departure board for all the stops every day at your fingertips. This app has changed the way I bus.

N70%
by N####:

The accuracy of this app is going downhill, I just missed two busses in a row because the app said I still had 5 minutes to walk to the stop 3 ft from my house. There's not even a point in trying to catch a third because my class will be over by the time I get there.

T70%
by T####:

Perfect. Does exactly what you want it to do, and it does it well. One suggestion I have is the ability to add custom names to stops saves on your favourites, since if you have a few it's easy to lose track of which is which with a quick glance.

Been using this app for 5 years or so now and it is the best!

It has the most accurate information you can find. I super recommend it.

Most amazing app created. Saved me from freezing countless times.

Unfortunately , this app services no purpose to me without a trip planner.

Great app. Please consider offering a $1 version without ads. Thank you.

V70%

I love this app very accurate.

O70%
by O####:

So essential

Z70%
by Z####:

The removal of the refresh button leaves me feeling icky and not in control. The developer explained that the location function no longer times out. If you are running into issues just hang tight your phone will resolve your location shortly. It may seem to take longer than it did in the past. I am not sure the validity of that feeling though.

F70%
by F####:

No problems here.

I70%
by I####:

This app is complete garbage. Half the time the bus time is wrong, and for some reason the people who made this app decided that you don't need to see bus stops or times that aren't immedialty around you. Yes, the app doesn't even let you see bus stops unless they are right beside you. Skip this app and save yourself some time

Z70%
by Z####:

Great app almost always accurate until it rains, it's about 3 minutes early to the schedule time even though it would say on 3 minutes also to add some of the buses are still on their from 5+ minutes ago still saying there on the way. Please get that fixed as it's really annoying when the bus doesn't show

D70%

This app has been very helpful for my commutes to and from school. It has always been accurate and has never had any crashing problems like sone other apps I have tried.

Z70%
by Z####:

I have been using this app for a while now and love it. It's always accurate in bus times. I highly recommend it for winnipeg bus riders! EDIT: Been using this since 2013, has been reinstalled on every new phone I get. If you ride the bus, you need this!

This app needs to have navgo so your able to route your trip for the same day and or future day. It's nice it tells you the times for the bus, it would be awesome of have that feature also with this.

W70%

N70%

This app is great if you catch the bus at regular stops. Now with 24 hour time!

N70%
by N####:

I really like this app but why ads started appearing on this app????

A70%
by A####:

Best app ever downloaded. Always on schedule and gives multiple options for closest bus stops.. Moreover, l loved the labelled bus stops on the map most, since l'm really bad at directions (-.-) north and south bound really confuses me sometimes. All in all, its an user friendly and trustworthy app. Only flaw would be useless if offline.

N70%
by N####:

Easy to use, it automatically shows nearby stops. And it allows you to save any of your stops to the main screen. This way I know when my bus will arrive before I leave work or home.

F70%
by F####:

Use every time I ride the bus!

N70%
by N####:

Insanely useful app. Works exactly like you'd expect it to. You can see all upcoming buses for any given bus stop. You can look up stops by GPS or by searching the names/numbers. Highly recommended. Must-have for transit users.

I use this app everyday. Thank you for creating this amazing app!

N70%
by N####:

Great app. Completely in sync with all the buses. I use this almost everyday. This is the only app that I tell all my friends to get, even if they don't take the bus that often. Can't complain.

When pressing search

Now if we could only get the same reliability from the transit system.....

It works and it works well. Use it almost everyday. Wouldn't mind a material redesign.
