Reviews of Houston TranStar

Leave a Review Houston TranStar
★★★★★

  • The previous was much better.

    This app doesn’t have the rain map, I don’t like this at all.
    RR 7575RR 7575

    Developer Response

    Hello. We do in fact have the doppler radar displayed on the map. If you open Map Layers, it is the icon in the upper right that looks like papers stacked on each other, the third icon at the top says Weather. If you tap it and close the Map Layers window, it'll then show the doppler radar.

  • Latest update is unusable

    Latest update has made app unusable. It immediately requests two permissions but the graphics are so jacked up I can only click on one. I have also noticed the previous version no longer had information for most of the roads I use.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the details on the page not fully showing. We'll get an update out shortly to fix this so phones with smaller screens/large text can see the full page. UPDATE. This was fixed in version 2.0.3. Please update.
