| 2024-12-06 |  | | Stop making the adverts longer! from 5 seconds to 20 I'm trying to make it on my bus on time and not watch an irrelevant advert that makes me late 99% of the time |
| 2024-12-05 |  | | Works very well and an app that I find useful every day. Recently it is stuck in "Dark Mode" and I can't find a way to set it to "Light Mode". |
| 2024-12-04 |  | | Mmmmm OK. The ads are very, _very_ intrusive. Seriously you could be in a panic, need to know what bus someone caught or could catch, and 'Hey, download this vacuous little game...Bus checker will be unavailable for the next minute or 30 seconds. You get my point. Hugely annoying. Other apps manage to stay functional while displaying ads, but this is full YouTube. Looking for an alternative... |
| 2024-12-04 |  | | The app was fine before this update. I can't get it off the dark mode , which I hate.Also can,t get the live tracking map on now. Why mess with something that doesn't need it?Score would be 5/5 if it wasn,t. "Updated". |
| 2024-12-02 |  | | I've been using this app for several years, and the best thing about it is that it works with all bus companies, so if you plan a route that involves several changes, then it simply works. |
| 2024-11-29 |  | | Since the update 20/11/24 to v.10.49 the widget doesn't load and I cannot change the display mode from my default System Dark (hard to read) back to Light [Samsung GS8 Pie] |
| 2024-11-26 |  | | Location never updates - at a stop and location is not updated... have to close/reopen simply to see times at current stop. And 'Bus Checker' tab - utterly useless and pointless, merely a 'help' page (one would think a bus checker tab would be to check buses). |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | Fix your app please All the bus stops i use just dont exist on the app anymore. I've checked filters and stops are on, I can see them pretty much everywhere except for the ones nearby |
| 2024-11-18 |  | | Mostly works. I preferred the old app, but was forced to upgrade. The widget does not work as smoothly as the old one. Constant errors and forced to open the app proper for times. |
| 2024-11-18 |  | | Unlike the previous incarnation of this app, this version often gets stuck on an old location and does not update, often showing a location miles away. If only this could be reverted to the old app. It also suffers thoughtless hard to close ads which completely block the screen with zero means of closing, why does the app wish you to actually miss your bus? Small ads, no problem, I can understand that. Update 18/11/24 - Half of our local stops have been deleted from the app!! Crazy. |
