I downloaded this app to test its accuracy against CityMapper. Waiting for a bus, CityMapper predicted a 5 minute wait, this app predicted a 12 minut wait. CityMapper was correct. Fortunately, since it's a very cold morning and I wasn't waiting too long ! I'll continue to test the app but if there's no improvement I'll get rid of it

Good looking app and works well BUT I feel it didn't show London Boroughs as well as train is often the best choice but sadly the app doesn't show services such as Southern even if it's 20 minutes quicker unless you select national rail and ONLY national rail. Doesn't show live train times which is frustrating especially as someone who takes the train as their main transport.

Doesn't usually give the quickest route. City mapper is better. Although this one does tell you accurate route when there is a bus or train strike or engineering work, road closures etc, which city mapper and Google maps doesn't always do. Although now it keeps saying I'm offline when I'm not!
