| 2024-12-11 |  | | Far too many ads, especially those annoying videos, when you are in a hurry to find the nearest bus stop. I had enough of it! |
| 2024-12-02 |  | | I paid for the premium upgrade to remove ads, which was fine for a couple of months, but now I'm seeing ads again, even though I'm logged in on the same account, and the only way to get rid of them seems to be to pay again. Not impressed. |
| 2024-10-26 |  | | I paid for the old version but since it was upgraded to this version I get the ads again and they are incredibly offensive. Have put up with them for a while but it's time to uninstall now |
| 2024-10-24 |  | | Awful app. Never gives you the right times on buses. Been like this for months. Absolutely useless |
| 2024-09-20 |  | | Used to be fantastic, with vehicle markers on the map to show exactly where buses were, but no longer does this. |
| 2024-05-23 |  | | This bus checker app give the Precise location of buses on the map and nearest bus routes and accurate departure times and is very reliable there is no gliches with this app and there aren't to many annoying advertisements and it loads up in quick succession so there isn't to much waiting around this app is highly recommendable and is a brilliant way to start your journey on public transport. |
| 2024-03-22 |  | | Not very accurate. I rely on the widget to keep me updated , rarely does it work or seem to match the app when I open it to double check. A 21 minute wait for next bus in widget is 2 mins in app. This has been going on for months. I paid for a year and free apps with ads have better timing and bus trackers. |
| 2024-02-03 |  | | Edit/Update Taken it down to 1* as new ad vendor preferences popped up today, aggressive ones, it took me over 5 minutes to uncheck all the vendors. Used to be a fantastic app, it was simple and effective. Recently it's become a data and advertising monster and your aggressive permissions from multiple vendors is unnecessary. A simple 'Reject All' option would have been nice. I found a better, simpler and more effective bus app that I'm using instead. Been using the app for over 5 years too. |
| 2023-01-24 |  | | I'm afraid I'm another who will be uninstalling this app. I find the updated version unusable. Far too much phaff to get to the information you need. If you can get there at all. Worse, the new version has removed the functionality I found most useful in the original; the ability to punch in a particular bus route number, identify the stop you want and read the times. No longer seems to be possible now. |
| 2022-12-27 |  | | Paid for the old app and used since 2012. Installed this update, greeted with a new UI that tucked common functions away unnecessarily. Was willing to adjust but with UrbanHub also wanting me to make an account to save the two or three stops I generally keep around, plus video ads constantly with no obvious way to remove them... Screw that. Back to the old app I go. Way to ruin such a useful app |
