Terrible, bring back doublemap
Like someone else said, no one cares about any of the functions enough to warrant having them on the landing screen. Have the app default to the tracker map and let users tap a side menu for other features (which most people really won’t even use).
The live map is also awful. Sometimes the buses don’t even show up and even when they do, they’re color-coded rather than using letters, which makes it hard to tell what is what because people have to remember something extra now, not to mention it’s not color-blind friendly! The arrows make for too much clutter as well.
There was nothing wrong with the old app. This one feels so unpolished and has too many obscure features no one wants to use while getting rid of the good things about the old app. Bring the old one back!!!Show lessShizuoっか？！
Why try to fix something that isn’t broken
DoubleMap was miles better, bring it backFelix1738495937
CRASHES EVERY TIME
**my app is updated to the most recent version** I have an iPhone 6s Plus, and it could be just because my phone is old as hell, but every time I click on the app to use it, it will open a screen that says “M Magic Bus” (basically just the design of the app itself but as a full screen) for a few seconds and then automatically crash. Super frustrating. Double Map worked perfectly fine and there was NO reason to switch at all. I would without question give this zero stars if it was a possibility.Show lessjnjanesk
I’m no Computer Scientist, but This Seems Lazy by Fall Out Boy
Jesus, even Billy Magic is confused by this app. Google Maps does a better job. Like.. this is the website. You didn’t even try. The website’s klunky and not fun to use on the phone, so porting it over to an app with minimal changes is still leaving me hella confused.
This is definitely the Michigan Difference, huh?Show lessNyooomi
Absolute garbage
If I could give this app zero stars, I would. Given that I attend umich I would expect somewhat of a qualified app to use, but this app is an absolute piece of garbage in every aspect. WoLvErInEsPage lent rjo
This app seems like it was designed by a blue bus for use by exclusively blue buses
I literally don’t understand the design decisions that went into this app. Did they have a UX person working on this? Like, at all? At a base level, it works I guess, but literally every feature is both convoluted, ugly, and unpleasant to use.AlvieH
Awful
I cannot think of a more awful useless app than this one. It’s so hard to use and not even accurate or helpful when you do figure out how to use it. DoubleMap wasn’t incredible, but it’s an absolute masterpiece compared to this app and I can’t think of why the university would switch to this instead of DoubleMap. This app is so awful it feels like just a prototype or something where someone threw a bunch of ideas into an app but didn’t add any functionality or hints for people who aren’t the creators so no one else can understand how to use it.Show lesssyd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
UI is poor
Every time I open the app I have to select -> live map-> routes -> then select routes -> then click each route I want. It would be so much more efficient the app defaulted to a live map of every bus. The live bus routes is the feature most people use and each bus is represented by a large bus icon that does nothing to tell the user which bus it is. Replace the little picture with initials or something. Additionally they are much larger than need be especially for how little information the communicate.Show lessleafysphone
How?¿ Just how?
How is it possible that Michigan is a top CS school. I would not believe it if I was seeing this app. Somehow someone managed to finesse what is a capstone project that basically just loads a mobile webpage inside of an app. There is literally no reason to have this disappointment.Parth014
Literally unusable
Every aspect of anything resembling a normal iOS app has been reconstructed from scratch in the most unappealing and unusable way possible in this app. While it seems like a lot of work was put in, it was the wrong type of work that ended in a convoluted app with complex actions using tools and design patterns either from 2010 or invented on the spot. Ugly colors and fonts aside, it is riddled with bugs, an unusable UI, terrible actions, and unclear instructions. Some issues include the following:
- you cannot zoom in then zoom out in the map in one gesture
- busses do not update
- scrolling is shaky and seems like it was built from scratch
- header and navigation are not functional, you cannot go back to a previous page. nothing is standardized or taking advantage of normal app development patterns
- there is a common design pattern of embedding another webpage into another
- inputting text is nearly impossible and you need to scroll to see the entire form
- unclear actions like prioritizing a bus stop number (what even is that???)
- clicking on one page will reset the map’s zoom
- i have no idea how to close models
The University can do much better. Please ditch this app.Show lessRfiner
