Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app for over 10 years. This app sucks the way it is now! The older version from about 3 years ago was perfect! I primarily use it for my AAR service to set up my trips. It's gotten slower and slower to show data. You've taken away functions and made others convoluted. Example: When booking trips, it used to remember the last several addresses you used. Now we don't. Trip information was all on one screen; just scroll down. Now you have to click into another screen.

I'm impressed with the little things that mean so much like the features that show as soon as I open the app. With other travel apps, they don't show me both directions at one. I always have to put in an address/destination first. Showing me what I'm closest to with the departure times & also where the bus is is awesome. Since I just started using the app I gave it a four. However I do expect to give it a five star in the future if it continues to be so practical & reliable.

The upgrade is practically unusable. You have to wade through menus to get the train or bus you want. When you get there, the scrolling, 9 times out of 10 doesn't work, so you keep swiping your finger on the screen until it decides to move it. Then when to get to the stop you want , you have to keep polking it until it decides to open, most times you hit the stop and it shifts to the other direction. I miss the old version, where you plugged in the bus number and it went right to the route!
