Ratings and reviews

How does an app that has never been updated start crashing suddenly? I'll live with the ancient UI, but the one thing you can't have with something that's part of your commute is the unreliability. App won't stay open today. Crashes within a second of loading. Edit: after a year or so of not working on pixel phones (because it wasn't 64bit compliant) the app recently started working again. Today it won't open because it says an update is required but there is no update in the app store.

This app has always been glitchy but now it is completely unusable. Today it prompted me to update it but when I went to the Play store there was no update and it still wouldn't allow me to use the app. So I finally uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Now that I've done that every time I click on "schedule" it gives me a bunch of locations that are in another city and they look like bus stops.

When I open the app, a pop-up immediately appears, stating a new version of the app is available and that an update is required. At the bottom of the pop-up are 2 options: 'exit' or 'update'. When I select 'update', it brings me directly to the Google Play store, but the only options showing are 'open' and 'uninstall'.
