  • Money grabbing in todays cost of living crisis

    You can’t use the app properly as all it does is go to the page of trying to sell you the premium page for a better service. you could have a better service if you remove this page and let people choose for themselves instead of showing it in their faces all the time which which makes it hard to use the app when you go onto other routes if you’ve already put a favourite route in you can’t choose another route most people catch more than one bus you’re as bad as move it the only thing with yours is it let you know if the bus is late and normally yours times are on time with the buses

    Let me ask a question. Do you work for free? I doubt it. How dare you say I’m money grabbing because I need to earn a living from my work! I could easily make it a fully paid app, instead I let you use it with 1 bus stop FOR FREE. If you want to use my work that I spent months making but don’t want to pay, I’m afraid you’ll have to put up with a few annoying pop ups. Don’t like it? Then either pay me for my work or stop using my app. Do you think apps grow on trees? They don’t. Someone has to spend months making them and updating them. That someone is me and I also have a family to feed!
  • Great app

    tracking works perfectly and developer is kind and listens to feedback with amazing interaction, definitely worth getting over the tradition arriva app!
  • Excellent app

    Already saved me so much time and encourages me to use public transport instead of jumping in the car. Cannot understand why this isn’t taken up by bus companies especially when we should be conscious of our environmental impact. Well done and thank you

    Thank you for your review. I really appreciate it and I am glad my app saves you some time :)
  • best app

    This is the best app I've found for local bus times. I often switch between 2 bus stops depending on the direction I'm going. It would be great if you could set more than one default bus stop.

    Thanks :) I'm glad you like it. It just so happens that I am working on a big update that does in fact allow multiple bus stops to be stored as well as a bus filter that lets you view only buses of a certain number. I'm hoping it should be complete in the next few weeks.
  • Well done

    Much appreciate your brave attempts to solve this problem. It would be great if the default stop were to include both directions. And ideally allow more than one default stop. Very often you need to check connections to another route. And finally, are drivers able to switch off their transmitters? ( a 2a bus drove through Woodchurch this morning just after 7am without appearing on the app at all. Surely this should not be allowed). Meanwhile I shall look forward to all updates. Good luck….and thanks - Jon Hays

    Thanks Jon. I have in fact been working on the feature that allows more than 1 favourite. It will be a premium feature when released however you can try it out now for free if you want to install the beta version (drop me an email for info). The app uses data directly from the bus companies so i'm not sure what a driver is capable of but i'd have thought any running buses should still be shown even if there is no gps location of the bus. - Darren
  • Great app

    This app certainly does what it says on the tin. It’s easy to navigate and clear to read. Only one thing could make it better and that would be an option to be able to create a list of favourite stops but that’s only my wish list and doesn’t take anything away from the excellence of the app.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for the kind words. I do have plans to add more features and multiple favourite bus stops in the future.
  • Nice little app

    Pretty decent app, the only things missing I would like to see added are: (1) home and work destinations(or something like it), (2) times of buses for the next day. When I open the app and last bus had gone it says no buses due, it could say tomorrow and when the bus should be coming.

    Thanks for your review. I would love to get them extra 2 stars. Adding multiple default stops is something I want to implement, I just haven't had much time lately to work on it. As for showing scheduled buses, as the app uses the data of live buses from several bus providers, I can only fetch any buses due in the next 90 minutes. Any longer and on a busy day it would have way to much data and make is slow. The thing that sets the app apart from others is that all data is based on live bus location data.
  • WHAT HAS HAPPENED?!

    I have been using this app for months as it was way more easier than the Arriva app. It showed you exactly where the bus was, how late/early etc.. However, I came on this morning and it is saying ‘no buses to be found or due’ on every bus stop!

    Please fix the bug I loved this app 😂

    Developer Response

    Hi, Just another quick update. If you update to todays release (1.1.7) all known bugs have now been fixed. Happy Commuting.
  • Excellent app

    This app is really helpful as the live bus times are reliable and on time. My only negative is that you have to manually select the bus stop close to you rather than having all the nearest bus stop shown to you at one time

    Developer Response

    Thank you for the 5* review :) It's funny you should suggest that, I have 'nearby bus stops' implemented and ready for the next update. If you'd like to get it early, help test and give your opinion before release, please drop me an email using the "Report a problem" link in the app settings and i'll let you know how to get it.
  • Bus times

    On the whole the app is good but very difficult to use when trying to find bus times when you’re out and about as it asks you to make where you are your default stop, you only need one default stop - the one nearest your home
