Only appears to work on certain phones
Visitor to Malta. Purchased two Explore Flex cards from the dispenser at a nearby bus stop, and only managed to register one with my iPhone (13 Pro). My wife’s iPhone (11) wouldn’t register at all - appears to be a buggy app / unable to register and therefore unable to top up the card on the app. Needs a lot of work still, especially as the balance doesn’t update in real time (unless it requires a period of time to refresh - which isn’t clear).Show lessV19KSH
Bug
The app is supposed to be updated and the bug is supposed to be gone, yet there are still bugs in the app. The time is still not changing and if it does it is not the accurate time. I have another phone side by side mine and the bug is still very evident.iz.01
Unreliable and slow
The app doesn’t show the correct live data of the buses. It says a bus is coming in 5 minutes and then it doesn’t come at all or it’s there in 20 minutes. It would be way easier when it would show live tracking like bolt.Nicolas294747

Tried to sign up for an account but the sms text verification code will not come through to my USA phone number…Koodude111
Worst App Ever
This is such a useless appThe1andOnlySky
Poor design, hard to use
There’s really no alternative to using this official bus app on Malta, but it is a really badly designed app that makes it hard to use.
For example, it chews through battery life.
Its geolocation is usually wing, so the directions and recommendations are often nonsensical.
Journey pages don’t clearly present walking segments as such (a waking person icon would help), so new users can think it’s a bus segment but without the bus number
Showing the bus stop number would also be useful given several same-named stops and the app’s tendency to suggest one that is not where you are.
If you go back from the detailed directions. such as to look at other suggested routes, you have to start all over again. Your current itinerary is wiped out. Also, several of the line labels have white te t on light backgrounds, making it hard to read the line number. White on yellow, really? Some basic user experience skills are sorely needed by this developer.Show lessGMGruman
Top up - it’s not live - had to wait 6 hours more to credit your actual card itself

Good for routes. Not for payment or availability.
The app shows how to travel around Malta.
I registered a card but no idea how to use it with the app.
Does not show real-time position of buses.sevans29
Absolutely awful
The updated app is awful and useless! You can not enter your Tallinja card as it will not accept the OD card or passport number (why the hell do they need this anyway?!) The journey planner also doesn’t work! The previous journey planner wasn’t amazing it is 100 times better than this rubbish though! Whoever the designers of this app are should be fired. I will be using the website from now on.Show lessTamsyn43
Great
Great but not excellent. We stated for 4 days in Sliema and used the bus every day to get around. It took time to get used to it but it was easy once you get your head around it.MelvynHogg
