Ratings and reviews

Beautifully simple bus checker. Nice, quick UI and even shows buses live on the map in Grimsby area (Stagecoach). Miles better than the official Stagecoach app. Worked well when I lived in Glasgow area too (FirstBus and McGills). Reasonable one time fee to remove ads, no extortionate subscriptions. Other travel apps could learn a thing or two from this.

Used to be good. Now (4 years later) barely usable. I paid for ad free and it hasn't remembered me. Map doesn't load. Can't select bus stops. Help links you to unhelpful browser pages. 2023, loses final star because it doesn't even show arrival times at specific stops anymore. Signing in for checking bus times is just ridiculous. Why? What functionality does this add that I couldn't do 5 years ago? Nothing useful about this app anymore. It doesn't do anything that Google Maps doesn't do.

Everything that was already good with this app is now ruined. The old app showed timings for a particular route and stop for hours into the future. This one only shows the next bus. Give us the facility to reinstall the old app as it was. We can't easily and effortlessly plan our bus journey for 2 or 3 hours ahead anymore. It's an absolute waste of time now. We reckon that the inexperienced new developers don't even use buses theirselves. And as this is now useless for us we've uninstalled it.
