Ratings and reviews

I don't know how this app works but the one responsible of the information provided on the app should be held accountable for the amount of misleading information they provide. As just a quick example of hundreds i had this year(i can write a book). Today i was going home in Königswinter from Cologne-Ehrenfeld, to cut the story short, i had to take replacement bus from Troisdorf which was written on the app that it should come 7:56pm and of course the bus didn't show up.

I don't know why it has such a low rating. The app works fine and smoothly. It does what it is supposed to. One can easily find the bus stop, time table etc. I have been using this app for over 3 years. I liked it.

The app is good in my opinion. The only thing I miss is having real time navigation. Other than that, no complaints.
