Ratings and reviews

Been using this app for almost two years, it crashes almost constantly and it almost never shows the actual position of buses. Plus, I've never seen the arrival times any less than five hours off the actual schedule. Suddenly, today, I'm trying to get home from work and the app now crashes after ~2 seconds every single time I open it, 100% of the time. It's fully useless now; I'd give zero stars if I could.

Too dark! Does anyone else have this problem? Thought it was my phone but all my other apps are ok. When I open the app, the screen goes dark. I have my brightness all the way up, and still I can't even see the screen. Not very useful if I'm gonna be opening the app outside. The alerts box was okay tho, even tho there weren't any alerts. Also, when I tried to leave feedback, my textbook wouldn't come up. It doesn't recognize the text box as a text box. I had to paste this into the app.

I liked the app! It worked pretty well, though not always accurately. Then I made the grand mistake of replacing my phone. Can't get it to actually open at all anymore. It will load, the route screen will pop up to start loading, then it suddenly closes and gives me the "Spot keeps stopping" alert. It's entirely unusable. I've tried adjusting settings and nothing changes.
