Leave a Review UK Bus Checker
Useful
I don’t often use buses (there aren’t many where I live - rural) but I do when getting around towns and cities elsewhere. Had this app free for a couple years but, since I actually find it useful I’ve paid the £6.99.
All the moaners who complain about the ads have a choice - put up with them or pay what is an almost insignificant sum for a useful app. The developers deserve payment for their work.
(Confession: when I was trying the free version, my ad blocker cut out all the ads, leaving just a line at the bottom of the screen to say an ad couldn’t be loaded. But, as I said above, developers deserve payment for apps we actually use.)Show lessSteve@Aberdeen
Better Must Come
Ultimately this is a fantastic app. However, the recent upgrade doesn’t sit well with me at all. This was a fantastic free app which needed no sign in, no sign up, no login details etc, until some bright spark decided to change it all - I guess, to get people like me to write a review because normally I wouldn’t, even though I loved the app before, but I Am so disgruntled and so lost without the use of this app simply because I object to having to sign up.
Eventually I probably will sign up but for the moment I’ve resorted to using the time bus timetables and organising my life around using the bus timetables instead of the live minute by minute countdown/count-up, arrivals/departures system that the app uses.
Likewise, eventually I would’ve got round to giving you a five star, all I needed was the frequency of pop-ups which would’ve eventually prompted me to give you five star but right now I’m so angry about the changes that you only get one star.
Does everyone have to follow suit? Does everyone have to follow what’s trending or trendy? Why couldn’t you be the one app that freely serve all ages & all generations without paying a fee or sign-up details?Show less.*!+
Can I have the old app back?
The perfect bus checking app I’ve used for many years is ruined. I had also recently found the old app even more useful via an Apple Watch, but now I can’t quickly check for a bus on watch and even on phone there are no favourites stops available without logging in first - and without biometric log-in available. Never really needed ticket buying even if this app could offer that for an operator within 100 miles. I have operator/transport authority apps for ticket buying, but this app was always more reliable than theirs for consistently-styled information particularly at stops with multiple operators. And unlike theirs it used to work on a watch. This app seems more about grabbing personal data than providing a useful service. Can I have the old app back please.Show lessVidWatch
