Good

Better than Any other App like metro and google maps .

Would be nice if I can manually search the bus stop like stop 17 goodwood road rather than zooming the map .

Meh

The app should have an option where when you press on a bus stop and see the place you want to go to, you should be able to press on it and see the route. And a search option to type out where you want to go

Hi there, sorry about your experience. The app is focused on providing real-time information, for journey planning it's hard to beat Google Maps, or Moovit. Thanks!

Arrival time issues

Easy to use app with a nice interface, however bus arrival times have been late multiple times resulting in me missing a bus.

I have arrived at the stop before the arrival time and the bus was no where in site.

Hi there, sorry about your experience. Sometimes the real-time information coming from Adelaide Metro can be a bit sketchy. You can tell when an arrival is "real-time" when the GPS icon is displayed in the top-right. Thanks!

Efficient and works super well

Can track where the transport is in live time! Really great if the bus is running a few mins early so i know when to get to the bus. Great app and shows all the stops that I need. ๐Ÿ‘

Amazing! Best yet!

I have just got this app and it is super easy to use. You can favourite bus stops and busses, and see the route that it goes. I am always stressing about missing the bus but this just makes it 10 times easier with the average time itโ€™s going to be there. Way better than the old metro app which is just clunky and doesnโ€™t work. It has a sleek design which makes it easy to use, and is super functional.

Definitely would recommend this if you are looking for a nice, easy to use metro app.

Arrivals not available for several days

Only reason I downloaded this app was to see the times my bus was arriving
Itโ€™s not been able to provide this feature for over a week
Major fail

Response from developer

Hi there, the issues were due to a service outage by Adelaide Metro (announced on their Twitter), that lasted from 3/8/21 to 5/8/21.

Best app!

This app (ShouldIRun) is excellent! So much better than โ€ฆ anything else Iโ€™ve seen (especially the old paper timetables that had multiple revisions floating around).

An EXCELLENT initiative! 10/10 ๐Ÿ‘

Best app ever

This is the best app I have ever gotten, it helps me so much when catching the bus to and from school.
I love how you can like each bus stop to see your main ones, itโ€™s extremely accurate!
Def recommend this app!!! ๐Ÿ˜œ

Simple and accurate

Easy to use for regular destinations. Always accurate. Can use the busesโ€™ unique numbers to see when itโ€™s due at the destination. Less sophisticated but less clunky than the Adelaide Metro app.

A step backwards

Why have they done this? How many updates before it is as good as the old Metro Mate, if ever? Bus today just disappeared, I could see it on the old App but on this new one it had gone. What the hell. Also, it doesnโ€™t show the route like the old one which made it easy to know where bus is in relation to certain roads etc. map road names are hard to read, but the old App made it easy. Donโ€™t release these Apps until they work as well. Pretty simple really.

Hi there, I am not Adelaide Metro. You'd probably be better served by their official 3rd party recommendations that are meant to replace metroMATE, either Moovit, NextThere, or Transit.
