Ratings and reviews

Good app and really helpful but not user friendly even for an IT man! Adding to favourites is really hard and complex! Hard to add a line. Hard to find the bus stop on the map. Not showing your current location on the map. The first tab of favourite is bus instead od stop. And lots of other things that make the user experience worst. You need to revamp the whole UX with new designs.

Could be better but it has too much bugs. I can't plan a travel and see all the future schedules. pretty annoying. But once that is fixed its a great app. Edit: The app has gotten alot better! There are no annoying ads and the app functions fairly well. They cant account for flop busses. It would be nice if OC Transpo team actually updated their info of when their busses are flopping.

Ever since new update, it will not load main bus stations, does not pick up my location even with it having access to my gps. Keeps saying "unable to query data source". This app has become useless. Please fix asap. It worked amazingly before the update, please fix. 04/23/19 - stops wont load period. App is not working at all. This is annoying to the max. fix this!!
