| 2024-12-17 |  | | This is not a Live app unfortunately, cancelled and delayed trains are not reflected accurately. Another feature which I think should be on the app for the trains is to show if the lifts are working at the station. Very disappointing. |
| 2024-12-08 |  | | Worst service I've ever seen. The live times and the times at the stops don't match at all. The "live time" is not live, I know this because I was waiting over an hour before a bus finally showed up. The people behind this need to fix this broken app fast. Bus Eireann along with these app modders need to work together to fix their broken system. |
| 2024-12-08 |  | | TFI "live" simply does not work. App, the "system" in general does not work. Two buses frozen at 1 minutes due, and 5 minutes due, for about 15 minutes. Ring the help desk so they can provide a physical location. Bus was miles away. |
| 2024-11-17 |  | | Hard to navigate, clumsy interface, not intuitive. In theory an integrated app across the providers should be good, but this is a poor replacement for the old Dublin Bus app. |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | Works exactly as it should. Shows live location of buses. What buses are at each stop. Everything you'd expect a transport app to do really. Thanks for fixing the few issues I had with the app. |
| 2024-11-01 |  | | Woefully inaccurate compared to the old individual Dart and Dublin Bus apps. Don't they use the same data sources. The user interfaces for finding origins and destinations make it really hard to find bus stops. The route function in the Dublin Bus App made that straightforward. Since my first review, this app has become more inaccurate than ever. How hard can it be to have accurate information for a train on a track? |
| 2024-10-27 |  | | If the city is shut down due to a marathon and the app users don't find out until the bus redirects away from its route that is absolutely useless, there was no banner, no warning - nothing. In general the app is wrong about times not having a warning system for major disruptions let alone pre planned disruptions makes it not worth using. |
| 2024-10-04 |  | | The 'live time' function on this app is terrible. It's either 5-7 minutes out of sync or completely broken—I can't tell which. The app seems useful with 'live updates' but gives useless information. It's frustrating that something so easily fixable causes stress in people's lives. Missed buses mean missed connections, interviews, or important events like birthdays. How has TFI not realised the serious impact of this issue? |
| 2024-09-30 |  | | 80% of the time it tracks the bus that never shows up or is cancelled even tho it says it comes in 1 minute. You can never rely on public transport in Ireland and with this app, you have it guaranteed you'll be always late for work |
| 2024-09-29 |  | | Useless... At best. We should go back to the days of printed timetables... At least we knew where we stood. My advice to anyone thinking of downloading this useless app...read the reviews first and dont waste time and energy trying to use it ! |
