I use this app daily. The features are what you'd expect for a bus application. Usually accurate to ~2 minutes, alarms are helpful, favorite locations are helpful. The layout is easy to navigate and the app doesn't crash. Thanks for making this! Makes life easier. Should make a widget with a favorite location/judges your location and gives you bus times.

Z70%
by Z####:

Devices without a menu button or an equivalent make it impossible to open the menu. I would like to be able to sync my favorites so I won't have to manually re-add all of them repeatedly.

Z70%

There's stops on campus such as "Gregory at Mumford Hall" that are not on the list.

This app should be updated. There are many missing stops which makes this unreliable

User friendly and a useful guide. Great app!

Y70%

Had trouble with download

R70%

Pulls stop data fine, if you just want to know when buses are coming. Bus tracker is broken, alarm always overestimates bus arrival. Occasionally has connection issues using phone network. Sadly one of the better choices for cumtd apps.

Best CUMTD app out there.

by M####:

Only a few minor things need improvement, but overall it works flawlessly.

S70%
by S####:

It is a very clear app, my only complaint is that some locations are divided up( NE corner & NW corner, something like that) making it kind of messy. It is useful in some instances, others it bothers me. Hope that makes sense and helps.

I70%
by I####:

It had every function you need in a bus app. great at finding stops, planning trips and the buds tracker is so cool! Must have for U of I students

Best app in tha game

A necessary app if you ride the busses often.

U70%
by U####:

Quality CUMTD app here, providing some real competition for Lam's Transit app. UI is a little goofy, but I'm sure the kinks will be worked out in time. The Trip Planner feature is awesome.

S70%
by S####:

What's the point of a search that only searches bus stop names. If I know the names, I know the times. Let me search locations.

Q70%
by Q####:

I cannot search for bus stops!! Each time I use the search function i don't get suggestions and the "Enter" key just add a line in the search form (does not get me any results). What's wrong? I am on an LG Optimus One

I love the flexibility of the trip planner in this program that r found in no others

When you set a bus alarm to go off five minutes before the bus arrives, common sense would tell you that it should update the alarm if the bus was running late/early/got cancelled. What this app does, however, is set a completely separate alarm whose only data points is the estimated time of arrival when you set it. Missed too many buses to give this anything but one star.

The app is simple to use and works well most of the time. However I've run into a few bugs that, when they happen, really impact my use of the app: *Searching bus stops is buggy. Often, no results show up when I search by the second name in an intersection (e.g. searching for 'Gregory', I get no matches for 'Springfield and Gregory'). This makes me spend much more time searching for stops and makes some stops difficult to find. *I've run into stops that I can't locate with the search function, e.g. Gregory and the Undergraduate Library. I haven't found any search term where this stop shows up in the list (also searched for DKH/David Kinley Hall). It shows up on the 'nearby stops' map, but adding it to my favorites list from there also doesn't work. In any case, the app is pretty well designed and user-friendly, until you run into one of these bigger problems.

I like that this app tells you what corner the bus will be at (NW, NE,etc). I wouldn't rely on the clock 100% (buses are unpredictable) but it's a great guide. One suggestion: Add the stop for Gregory & Main Library. It's a very popular stop and it's weird for it not to be included. I wouldn't use it to plan out a trip (I prefer Google Maps for that) BUT if you know what stop you need to go to, it's great for knowing when the bus will come. As a rule of thumb, I'd try to subtract 2-3 minutes from when it says the bus will be there. Missing the bus is no fun, especially if the one you need doesn't come for another 15-30 minutes.

I don't know if it's the app itself, or the data from CUMTD, but I have learned the hard way not to trust it.

E70%
by E####:

Phooey. At least it was free. Worthless. Transit is much more functional.

O70%
by O####:

This app features what most CuMtd apps do, but only that. My favorites keep disappearing, the "trip planner" reverts back to the trip options screen when my screen turns off, and the "reverse trip" button just resets the fields instead. It doesn't have all the menu items for each section of the app, so I have to click "back" until I find the home screen. I also don't see an option to default to my favorites when planning a trip, not that I can use it much--my favorites keep disappearing.

D70%
by D####:

I no longer trust this app to get me on the bus on time. It seems to be accurate about 50% of the time, and otherwise it wildly predicts when the bus will come. I have missed my bus several times and no longer rely on this app.

Great app with a great interface, but very buggy. Some stops never retrieve data, favorite list rarely works, force closes often etc. samsung galaxy s

D70%
by D####:

It has difficulty adding stops to favorites and often wipes out my entire favorites list... it also force quits quite frequently. If my favorites don't get erased by the program everything is ok, but too often they do Ao I've downloaded another app

Unable to add favorites after first favorite.
