At first, this did what it was supposed to do and was helpful when the board at the bus stop crashed but now won't stream any arrival data and just shows a black screen.

No Birmingham bus times.

Y70%

Works ok. Some stops in the wrong place. Doesn't have all bus stops. Maybe add the ability for users to add stops.

I used to love this app but now it always has some problems with updates ...so became usless . Unfortunately fixing bugs is not a priority for developers ..sad but have to remove it

This app is totally useless now and has been getting progressively worse with every developer update. What is frustrating is that it user to work perfectly and was a fantastic app. The first release was brilliant. The second release had a few bugs such as corrupt screen updates and a general slowdown in operation. Every release since has also gone backwards to the point where bus stops that existed before have disappeared from the database. As of now the database refuses to update and I have zero bus data. [Edit: 23 Apr 2012 I've just opened the app again and it does seem to show the stops now but I'm not getting any live bus info. Every stop I've looked at only has timetable info so still unusable. Is this still the council feed? ]

Really lovely, hard-to-find app. I only located it through a random Web search; for ages I'd assumed there was no such thing because "Stagecoach" and "Cambridge" "bus" get no Market hits. Why not add "Cambridge" and other major towns in the covered area to the description?

The app is working again - there was a problem with the County Council server which the app depends upon. It's not the app's fault that many stops are missing - it's the fault of the County Council who don't provide the information. Everyone knows you can't rely upon Cambs CC!

Downloaded app And it worked fine. Now the app keeps telling me the bus stop data base is empty and needs to up date! Everytime I update now, the bus stop data is still empty. Very confused!!! Please sort this glitch out as I do find the app while working very useful.

Good app yh but I would make it 5 star if it had bus route and predicted time for each stop if u click a bus.

M70%
by M####:

Does not work. Just the same crap as Stagecoach itself. Plus, many stops disappeared with the last update.

L70%
by L####:

Used to be good, now provides the same terrible quality of service as Stagecoach itself.

by M####:

Good stuff

M70%
by M####:

wonderful Does exactly what it says on the tin - all the Cambridge bus info including real time. Invaluable if you try to use the buses here, especially at rush hour when the buses are usually a long way off timetable.

M70%
by M####:

Really good, quick and simple. Mystified by lack of busway info. Hope it expands to other regions soon.

W70%
by W####:

Thanks to the awfulness and unpredictability of Stagecoach in Cambridge, this app is essential. It tells you in real time how long you'll have to wait, rather than just when it was supposed to arrive according to the timetable.

by M####:

Very useful! Looking forward to it being extended to more locations

D70%
by D####:

Good, works OK. Could use a link to published timetables.

So useful! More public service apps are needed. Thanks.

Good thought. Needs further development & regular updates.

M70%

Just couldn't get it to work. Maybe no bus info for staffordshire for this app?

Needs more stops, but looks promising...
