Ratings and reviews

The notification icon looks like a baked chicken which brings me joy. I like to say "The chicken has picked up [child]." Goves me a ballpark time so I'm not freezing off my nickers waiting at the bus and not knowing when it'll be there. Sometimes it doesn't connect for a few minutes (I've seen as long as 9) but I can usually close and reopen the app and it'll update.

The app worked greatly at first, but for the past couple of weeks, almost a full month, the ETA was always inactive, and instead of saying the actual distance, it's constantly stuck on 4.3 miles away. I used in-app email support about 2 weeks ago, but still no changes. I might put in another one, but until then, I highly doubt the ETA and distance is going to be fixed.

Been using this app for 3 years. The app rarely works. Either it's set to the incorrect bus, eta doesn't work, the bus stop is set wrong, the route is wrong, or some other issue. When you message their email support to correct the issue you are having it takes weeks to fix, if ever. I actually just got a reply from them on 2 issues I was having that I submitted months ago. This morning, yet again, the eta isn't working. It said, "inactive, no eta, no busses information is available". So useless.
