This is a pretty great app that helps me catch my train every morning and I love that you can add favorites. However, I'd like to see support for different display size settings, "drag down to refresh" feature like on iOS, BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) schedules, and a much needed UI refresh

It is what it is for the next bus, i guess not all transit agencies are on board with this i try to use public transportation. And East bay area and San Francisco Bay area even North bay area are listed but not South bay other wise 5 stars.

Great for helping me stay on schedule and find the stops I need, but I do wish it had notations to indicate if the bus is early or late, such as a red font for late arrival, green for on time, and blue for early.

Update is very WORTHLESS! Can not find my location when I am right at the bus stop. If it does not improve I will uninstall.

Great features in favorite-ing stops and showing nearby stops by default. "Just works" level of quality and usability

This app is a bit more inaccurate than the first versio. Specially on the early morning hours and weekends. Needs improvement.

A serious bug really impairs this app. It works initially but the next time you want to use it all your favorites have no predictions. The only way to get them back is to clear all the data in app settings but now all your stops are gone and you have to re-enter them all again. Samsung Galaxy android version 6.0.1. Big blue bus. If this gets fixed it would be nice. Update- as of February 2017- still no fix. No data = no useful.

Barbara West January 4, 2017

Better and worse The upgrade has some nice improvements: the favorites function and the transit function. The huge problem is that it does not give accurate times for the two buses I use the most, the 51B and the 49A &B. This is AC transit in Oakland. It also no longer shows times for connecting buses, such as Emery Go Round and County Connection. Hopefully it is working better in other cities.

Kristjan Eerik Kaseniit January 17, 2017

Extremely buggy update The old version was much better since it was actually usable. Now there's no way to set reminders e.g. 5 minutes before a bus comes; the new "alert" system simply doesn't work. Previously the next three buses were visible, now only two are, making planning harder. The reordering of favorites is forgotten nearly immediately and so is renaming of them. Please just revert to the old version.
