Annoying aldi ad8 permanently flashing, saying you have been randomly selected Not true as it is there all the time. Has started to miss out bus stops going in one direction, which is the wrong direction that I want to go needs the flaws ironed out. Randomly puts bus stops in wrong order App is still missing stops and fails to show all buses stopping at a stop. App getting worse.

I’ve been using the London Bus Time & UK Live Countdown app since 2017 and the live bus arrival times are incredibly accurate, and I love that it covers all the major bus routes in London. The app is simple to use, with an easy-to-read interface and clear countdown timers, so I always know exactly when my bus is arriving.

Was a fantastic app. Informative, accurate and reliable but now with the latest update it's become really annoying to use. Removed the quick and easy pull down to refresh which is really handy when out and about. And most annoyingly the app keeps sending notification alerts for no reason throughout the day. Was actually considering buying the sub but this has definitely cancelled that idea!
