Used to be a great app with the occasional "no buses can be found" problem. Now with all the ads constantly popping up before any information is seen, it can easily lead to missing buses and then a long wait. Even worse that sometimes the continue button, to get away from the ad, is borderline off screen, so you are stuck or you mistakenly select the ad. I'll be looking for a replacement app now.

Used to be good. Useless after the update. The map is rubbish and need to create an account to save stops. Its simple to save data locally. Just collecting emails for marketing. How many requests would you get for syncing across multiple devices. Do people have different phone for each day of the week? People using the bus regularly?? Must think we are stupid. Uninstalled and a better app downloaded.

I have used this app for a long time and had previously given it a higher rating. the app can be very helpful, however the latest updates have made this app unusable for me. when the ads pop up, I do not have the option to close the ad since the cross icon is off the screen. cannot move, resize, go back. unless fixed soon, will be forced to uninstall and find some thing else elsewhere.
