Leave a Review Bus Savvy
Perfect bus app.
I have been using this app for a couple of years now. I use it to get me to the nicer parts of the West Midlands where I go for my daily walks.
It is so useful having the times of the bus on hand wherever you are.
Well done, Darren.👏🏻Bcfc187521

Thank you for the kind words.New to app just one query
I’ve downloaded the app today and found it really useful, however I turned on live tracking to see where my expected bus was and I can’t find anyway to stop the tracking once I’ve managed to get on the bus? Just worried about it draining my phone battery and the constant notification about buses I have no interest in catching.Show lessjmd104

Hi, Thank you for using my app and I am glad you find it really useful. The live tracking will just track 1 bus. Once that bus has gone, live tracking will stop about a minute later although it might take 5 minutes for the bus to disappear from the lock screen. It will not drain any battery during this time, it's just how iOS works. I hope that answers your question, and i'd love to know how I can win those extra 2 stars from you?Beats Arriva Timetable Hands-down!
All stops and times shown with ALL services stopping at each bus stop - and live service information! Remarkable - pity the service provider can’t get its act together.Dunmarris
The best bus app in Scotland
I like this app a lot, it's nice to be able to see the bus live. It's missing some stuff though, like showing a line in the map to see the route of a specific bus line and all the stops it goes through. That would help planning trips and with perception on how close the bus is and how many stops left it has before reaching mine.
EDIT: thank you to the developer for adding support for megabus in such a timely manner!!Show lessJeff030421

Thank you for your review and thanks for using my app. The original idea of this app, and what makes it unique, is it's designed for people that already know where they are going (Daily commute to work etc..) and just need to know where the bus is. Every other bus app is tailored to people that need to find a route. For this reason it's now not possible to add the extra details you've requested. However, I have spent the last week adding support for Megabus/Citylink for you (just update to the latest version). I hope this is good enough to win over that 5th star. Thank you again.Absolutely essential!
So glad I found this app. I live in a village with an hourly daytime bus service. Frequently buses do not turn up or run late. Now I never head out before checking I’ll be able to get to town and, more importantly, home again. Thank you!!!10rosefarm

Thank you for the review. My situation was exactly the same and the reason I created this app in the first place. I'm glad it helps you.Quite simply “The Best”
This app knocks Arriva’s own “in house” right out the park! It’s so intuitive and easy to use and more importantly it’s accurate! The bus I am tracking is shown on the map as it gets to my nominated “favourite” bus stop and only 1 week in I’ve deleted Arriva’s and Go North East apps as Bus Savvy is so much better! We’ll worth just under £20 for all regular users of local bus services!!!Show lessToon Lad

Thank you very much for such a great review, you have made my day.Brilliant
I have been driving for 60 years and have recently had to surrender my licence. Never having used buses I was completely lost, this app is amazing, I know when the bus is coming or if it has been cancelled, I have found bus routes I never knew existed.
If you travel by bus this is a must. A brilliant app.Show lessNaught
Brilliant
Don’t waste your time with the Arriva app this is a thousand times better. You can see exactly where your bus is.Sic as a brick

Pleased with the response from the developer, also as predicted, the App is working again, appeared to be problems with Arriva the bus company.Patto the red.

Thanks for the update. I really appreciate it.Better than arriva
Just downloaded the app and loving it, I am not sure how you get the tracking data but if it’s BODS then can you please add the VehicleRef to arriva so I can see if it will be a double or single decker?
ThanksJamie709
