Ottawa Bus Follower for Android
only one thing would make this the best app in the app store, a widget. nothing complicated, just something to select your route and have it display the next 3 buses.
Great user experience, quickly tells you when busses will arrive at any stop in the city without added bloat, and more accurately that apps that don't use the bus GPS info.
My only issue with this app is that you can not delete old searches. If thier was away to remove old routes that I don't use now that would be great.
In a city with such cold temperatures, this app made it much more bearable. Simple and does the job.
Love this app for getting accurate GPS-based bus arrival estimates. There are 2 features I'd really like to see: 1. User should be able to save 'favourite' bus stops (eg. Even if it wasn't one of my last 5 searches, I'd like my bus routes to/from work to always be displayed along with my most recent searches). 2. Another nice feature would be to see all upcoming buses passing through a certain station in one view
This app is great. But it needs the option to add favorite bus stops.
I have tried all the other OC transpo apps available, and this one outperforms them all by far! The main aspect I love, is how accurate the GPS tracking is. With the simple refresh button, its easy to know where the bus exactly is, and how long it will take to get to you. All the other apps have failed to make it as simple and as functional as this app right here. Thank you so very much for creating this app, as it helps me out alot and actually removes alot of stress from my life!
I use this multiple times a day during my commute to and from work. It is simple, fast, and works great.
Title says it all, good job! The only reason it's not 5 stars is the bus stop list can only be sorted by the stop number. Which is not terribly human readable for large lists with no way to clean them.
The app is very helpful when picking between multiple buses and the presentation is good.
Best of the lot so far. To improve it give us a favourites list with quick button select. Also a Most Used list not just history. Shorten the amount of detail when showing these lists. When u enter a new number is there a way to force the keyboard to jump to numeric input? It would save a lot of time. Good job!
No frills simple and easy design ànd a great UI. From my grand MA to 5 year old cousin anyone can use it . Must have and very accurate . I've used other applications but this is by far the best.
Very useful. Would be great if multiple bus numbers could be searched together, so people could see all buses coming, as people are often able to get on not just bus X, but bus X or Y.
If I am giving 4 stars is because the app isn't 100% accurate
My boyfriend always texts the bus stop and I always use this app. An overwhelming number of times the texts give him wrong information. This app is waaaay more reliable.
Looks like it'll do what I want, but I'd like to be able to get rid of some (not all) "recent queries"Maybe there is a way to do that, but it isn't obvious to me.
Definitely great to know if I need to go out to catch the bus or if I have some more time because it's not going to show or is late.
Thanks for fixing the the drop down menu issue!!
Still use google navigate to figure out how to get to new location but to find nearest bus stop or when next bus is coming superb. Only wish is could delete a recent query, dislike scrolling down to find my normal stop. Or wish could pin my normal bus stops at top of screen.
Wish you could delete from your recent queries. It gets cluttered.
Really accurate! A must for Ottawa commuters!
Would be nice to have a favorites menu or most common bus stops accessed.
Very simple and easy to use.
Nice and simple
Thanks
It worked on my Galaxy S3 mini and now that I've upgraded it's still invaluable in helping me navigate Ottawa and OC Transpo
Ive been using this app and love it but all of a sudden its giving me estimated times like 1436 mins.....why??? I want it to go back
Great app. I've been using this daily for over three years
Was fantastic up until 2 days ago. Edit: Working again..super fast fix, great job, and thanks for not needing every special permission.
Some times are off from actual arrivals recently. Is there an update needed?
Since the update it stopped showing which bus comes and now it shows there are no upcoming trips for this route for every single stop... Please fix asap
This app has been my favourite app for a long time. For the last couple days, however, it won't give me any info and has been telling me to check my network connection. I'm not the only one experiencing this, so hopefully it will be fixed soon :) edit: the app was fixed within the day! Absolutely awesome :D
Thanks! Its working again. I thought it was just me! Thanks for ur speedy fix! Hasn't been working for two days for me. Keeps saying all the sudden to check my network connection when nothing is wrong . other apps work fine
How about being able to check more than 1 bus at the stop?
Great app. Very helpful. I do want to point out that when you click on stop 3047 route 175 Golflinks, the route times are incorrect. It actually gives you the route times for the opposite direction (175 barrhaven centre).
I love this App! The update worked like a charm! Thanks a bunch! I didn't realize how much I missed it!!
Good for low frequency buses. But gets confusing for high frequency buses.
It used to work very fine until yesterday. It seems that the service went down.
Minimal but functional. Great little app for any OC Transpo rider.

Great app, wish there was a way to remove old search entries! Maybe in the next release?
