  • Functional but Too Many Ads

    It’s bad enough that you have to take the bus in Hong Kong. The app is supposed to help riders figure out routes, schedule, and wait time. Instead, so much effort is crammed into bombarding you with advertisements on the tiny screen that you can barely see the screen. Then there is the mandatory ad you have to watch everything the ad launches. Most people are in a hurry to look at bus arrival time and don’t have time to wait for the ad to finish. If I am forced to watch the ad, the bus ride should be free.

    Another major problem is many cross harbor bus routes are shared with a different bus company which doesn’t share the same GPS tracking system as KMB. It seems not possible to know when the next bus is coming when it’s “outside KMB hours”. It’s just so stupid.

    体验极差
  • App no longer reliable

    This app was super useful some versions ago. I relied on it heavily because there are several buses I can take from Cross Harbour Tunnel that are separated by stairs on the footbridge. Now I resort to waiting on the footbridge to see which if my buses are coming before I run down the stairs to catch it.

    For some reason, the GPS doesn’t always match the right bus. For example, Bus stops for 108 and 118 are near each other. The app shows the 108 arriving in 2mins, but the 118 shows up. This has happened several times with multiple buses with similar numbers and stops near each other. I’m guessing the 108 sometimes runs as 118, so the bus arrival time is for the 108. I’ve reported this before with the bus details and time, but received no response.

    Hope this gets fixed so we can rely on this app again. It was great when it worked.

  • Way too many ads

    Shame on you KMB for your greed. The ads slow down everthing. Eventually no one will use your app. You are a public service company, don’t nickel and dime your patrons. Get rid of the ads. It’s good for your image, if you care.
  • Ads is the only thing that run smooth

    This reflects the company attitude towards their customers: they view them as a cash cow that they can milk every last drop of money from. We are paying customer but yet we are subjected to the bombardment of ads on the bus and in the apps. Nothing else runs smoothly in this apps. The arrival time is not accurate and the apps sometimes doesn't open at all. But when it does open, the only thing that comes out are the ads.

  • Laden with ads

    This app is laden with ads that are close to impossible to close. KMB is a public service, and you’re doing the public a huge disservice by actively preventing people from using it.

    The apps is also insanely buggy and the UI locks up every time it tries to load information. Yet another “paragon” of the quality of apps made in Hong Kong.

  • Worst app ever

    Not only does it fail to work, i.e opens with no arrival time shown at all and just stays this way, oftentimes it's extremely inaccurate.
    It really deserves zero stars.
  • Cannot access the app

    As title, the estimate time is not accurate, tbe main problem is cannot get into the app every single time, very disappointing!!!
  • Does not support iphone X

    I will change this rating once there is an update. iPhone X users use the bus too!!
