Ratings and reviews

Wow, it's literally as buggy as a cheap virus-laden app from Mainland China. Since 2019, the ads in this KMB app have become buggy eyesores. I have used this for a long time and it was really good before, so this is very disappointing. There's no option to upgrade to get rid of the ads, which take up the whole screen and blink like crazy. Sometimes it's simply impossible to use. What's happening? Are they trying to prepare for a Baidu Maps takeover?

Great app. Very useful. Especially with GPS timing. That said, ads are a huge issue. Now unable to select alight reminder because the right side of all the stops is covered with ads. Splash screen ad when you really need to check a bus route quickly is terrible. Enough ads inside the app. Let us open it without a huge wait.

The biggest problem are the pop-up ads. I think it is inappropriate for a public transport company (with huge and guaranteed market shares) to put pop-up ads on an essential utility app. I am fine with banner ads. The app can show nearby bus routes, route stops and arrival times. It is useful when you already have some route numbers in mind. However, if I were to search for bus routes between specific locations, Google Maps or any other map apps will do a much better and straightforward job.
