Ratings and reviews

Simple and fast app that doesn't try to do too many things and just does one thing well - Bus locations (Also ferries & trains for those who use these). One piece of feedback I have is that it's annoying that my map zoom level is lost when I switch to another app then come back to the Bus Buddy app (it zooms right out again)

For our area (Manly, Whangaparaoa), this app is very good. The visual location of the moving bus confirms the old adage "a picture tells a thousand words". I encourage the developer to keep up the good work.

I'd happily pay a dollar or two for not seeing any ads though. PS: developer likes his job and is genuinely helpful when issues arise, keep it up mate! I'd still love to see no ads in the app.
