This app is no longer functional and should be removed

As the title says, I used to rely on this app several years ago, but it has not worked in at least two years. It should not be in the App Store.

Do not use this app - useless

I have had this app. a few years and am about to delete it. I cannot count on it to have up-to-the minute information. Lately, all it says is failure to load and displays no information.

Not working

Doesnโ€™t seem to work anymore. I keep getting errors saying Iโ€™m not in the SF area and the schedules wonโ€™t load.

No Longer Works โ€” Fails to Provide Bus Arrival Times

Used to work great. But as of July, 2021 has ceased to work on iPhones 10 or 11. Arrival times of next buses are no longer displayed. When you tap on a bus stop pin, all you get is an โ€œError Updatingโ€ flag. Went from an excellent app to a worthless app.

Must have!

I use it everyday. Most accurate and simple of all the apps for bus. Bare bones, but the best if you already know which stop you need to check.

I use google maps to figure out route and SF Next Bus to get this most accurate times

Devolution

The last NextBus app I had worked equally well in SF and the East Bay. This one says something like, 'It seems you're not in SF anymore, Dorothy,' and stops talking to me in downtown Berkeley. The old one worked well. I don't want a separate app for every jurisdiction!

Wrong info

The past few times I've used this to plan for the M line inbound in the morning the times have been significantly wrong, making me late.

Constantly says no buses...

Very hard to plan travel because the app never seems to work. Will check out "CityMapper" heard great things.

Helpful although unstable

I use this app everyday. Does it use the bus GPS to keep track of inconsistent buses? Uncertain. It's quirky: trouble updating, can't located buses using my home wifi. It's still more specific than Google maps.

needs work

while the times listed are fairly accurate when they actually show up, much of the time they don't, and the app also often needs to be reloaded to update itself properly. nice idea for an app - just wish it actually worked properly.
