I am liking this app over all the others I have tried. This seems to be the simplest to setup compared to the others. I use the Widget function so I don't have to even open the app to see when my bus will arrive. The widget makes it extremely fast to get that info from the main screen of your phone. Maybe next add the subway times!

I absolutely hate the new update. Not only did it erase all of my favorited stops, but it's also ugly, harder to use, harder to read, and overall unwelcome. If I had wanted a different user interface, I would've downloaded a different app. The previous design was simple, concise, and easy to read. I don't see why you didn't just release a different app if you wanted to change things so badly.

this app isn't consistent. There are times when it does not give you the times of certain buses or certain ones that are heading in a particular direction. it is out of sync at times. had to download a more efficient bus app.
