Ratings and reviews

Trying to do too much. Unintuitive. The designer and the user are disconnected. I was able to go to Helsinki, Finland dl their app, sign up, input payment info while standing at the bus stop and get on the bus ( it was that easy). Check out other apps for how to streamline yours. You can do it. Austin!!

Not optimized for a handheld screen at all. Trip planner is basically unusable with nonsense routing when it is discernible. Routing does not work, especially with transfers involved. Trip planning could not be more cumbersome and difficult. The pay card screen should not be the initial one. Have you ever used this app in Austin?
