Ratings and reviews

Since a few says the app keeps failing connecting to the internet. But there is internet access on the phone and can use it normally with all the other apps. The same problem happens both using WiFi and using mobile data. I have to close the app, restart it a few times, then it ends up working. And the a few minutes later, the problem is back again and I have to kill it a few times until it succeeds connecting. Super frustrating. Please fix this asap.

There are many times when it keeps getting stuck on the "Starting Navigation" step. It appears to be an issue with the destination address. It looks like when the route has Highway included, the maps do not work. But if I disable highway (avoid highway) the maps work normally. And this is only happening to certain locations as other destinations with same highway work fine.

Within the past few months, the functionality of the navigation in this app has exponentially plummeted, and I'm willing to bet a large part of it is that the programming team has been offloading patches to ai. Lately it's been giving nothing but inaccurate estimates and cluttered routes. Just as an example, the other day I was given a 6 minute total trip estimate, despite even the initial bus at the start of the trip not being expected for a solid 15 minutes.
