Originally I chose this app over others simply because it was easier to use. I had been using it for many years but this latest update has put a end to that. Gone; full list of stops for each route. Gone: journey time to each stop. Gone: tap on any stop en route to check buses that call at that stop, And the intrusion of ads are too frequent. I don't think any research was done before the changes were made.

I'm afraid I'm another who will be uninstalling this app. I find the updated version unusable. Far too much phaff to get to the information you need. If you can get there at all. Worse, the new version has removed the functionality I found most useful in the original; the ability to punch in a particular bus route number, identify the stop you want and read the times. No longer seems to be possible now.

Rubbish since 'update'. Was the update To improve the app if so it's done the complete opposite it's a load of c***. You have to wait at 5-10 secs for adds to finish before you can check the bus time which defeats the purpose when you're in a rush. The ads were not so intrusive on previous version. This is not as easy to navigate as the previous version, which worked well because I had been using it for about 5 years. I will be uninstalling this and installing something more user friendly
