  • Why would this replace double map?

    This app is worse in every single way compared to double map.
  • Worst transit app ever

    It's just a web wrapper for a really bad website. The features are there, but they're horribly implemented in a clunky, terrible UI. The app is slow to start and throws you into the menu instead of the map every time you open it. Someone please use the API to make an actual app!
  • Disappointing for sure

    The University of Michigan is Worth over 11 billion dollars. I would sooner believe the school is using this crappy app to track it’s students than any REAL effort was put into this. Come on guys we can do better than this. Make it more user friendly. The bus icons need to be smaller/ expand as the user zooms in. The bus locations should be consistent. All around just poorly executed.

  • Double map is better

    This is literally just a webpage brought up by the app. No integration with the app at all. Just plain garbage. DoubleMap did a better job in a smoother package.

    The lag needs to be fixed. The bus locations are inaccurate. This is the third time I’ve had to switch bussing apps as the University cannot make up its mind in the 3 years I’ve been here.

    Get your stuff together Michigan, go back to double map. DoubleMap is a superior service in integration, accuracy, and ease of use. More natural to users. Computer science freshman could make a more streamlined service than this pile of garbage.

  • Terrible

    This is a terrible user experience. It’s laggy, clunky, lazy graphics, glitchy. Feels like it was designed by a bunch of intro computer science students. Please don’t phase out DoubleMap, it is so much better!!
  • Use DoubleMap Instead

    This app does show the bus routes in real time, but the user interface is clunky and outdated. Use DoubleMap if you want to see the same data for the Umich bus routes in a much more user-friendly way.
  • Try a little harder.

    Yeah sure, software is hard.

    Nevertheless, I’m pretty sure I know at least 10 CS students who would have made a better bus app.
  • Not good

    Bring back DoubleMap. This app is incredible laggy, the app doesn’t refresh quite as quickly as double map, and there’s just too much going on.
  • Please fix this this app.

    This app is terrible. Considering how essential this is to students daily lives, the app needs to be fixed so that it is usable.
  • Significant delay on real time location of the bus

    Significant delay on real time location of the bus compare to DoubleMap. Need label the bus with name of route for easy identification. The new app need to be better or at least the same quality as the old app.
