Ratings and reviews

Have used this app for years, it had a few issues, usually resolved at some stage. However, problems keep coming up. Some routes don't show the same times as those displayed by the official Dublin Bus app, which itself has improved much over time, and at least shows reliable info. I have now switched to that one as it only has minor drawbacks.

Very strong app, compared to the last one the built in features are great. The tracking of a bus in 5 minute intervals so you've time to walk to the bus stop, the option between minute countdown and arrival time, filtering buses and also the fact when tracking a bus it'll automatically close the push bar notifications. A wonderful app upgrade and it's much stronger utilisation of Dublin bus scheduling. Do buses go missing? Yes I've had one. But I don't believe it's the apps fault.

this app does everything the Dublin bus app does, with some of the same issues the Dublin bus app has unfortunately. i gave the Dublin bus app 4 stars and this got 1 extra because it has more features, like being able to name bus stops you have saved to favourites, having the go ahead operated routes available in real time. also it let's you track as many buses as you want with audible reminders so you don't need to keep opening or refreshing the app and it doesn't crash when viewing the map

What's new

- Notifications are back! You can set an alert for a bus and be notified when it is a pre-defined number of minutes away.
