I find it confusing that there is now two apps for MAX considering that the signage printed on bus stops has the MyStop logo. The MyStop app has many issues here is what this app does better
Pros: shows bus arrival times much more efficiently, including the time the bus is expected to come in case you miss the first one. Much more stable than the MyStop app. Notifications are much improved since there is no way to stop the MyStop app from sending texts once you set a reminder it stays forever, with no way to cancel. There is system wide view so you can see all the buses live at he same time.
Cons: This app hasn't really added anything new though other than the pointless MAX buses. You still are not able to get bus directions with the live data (Some systems like BART, Los Angeles Metro, SF MUNI, integrate their live data information with Google Transit/Maps) Google Maps uses that live data to tell the user what routes they should take and when its arriving. There isn't a way to alert users if there is a heavy delay on a line.
Overall, it's an improvement on the MyStop app but this seems like a big marketing error to have advertise two separate apps.
