### 5/5 — Simpel & übersichtlich

*2026-08-19*

Das ist genau die App, die ich gesucht habe. Sie zeigt einfach die Abfahrtszeiten in der Nähe an und das schön übersichtlich. Mit Live-Aktivitäten sogar bei Bedarf auf dem Sperrbildschirm. Eine Apple Watch Integration wäre noch sehr schön (die Live-Aktivität wird leer auf der Uhr angezeigt), aber ansonsten eine tolle App!

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das liebe Feedback! 
Die Apple Watch ist nun auch versorgt. Gerne die App aktualisieren. 
Liebe Grüße, Leonard

### 5/5 — Perfekte störungsfreie App

*2026-08-07*

Nachdem ich die App getestet habe bin ich sehr begeistert und nutze sie gerne und oft. Auch der Kontakt mit dem Kundenservice war sehr freundlich und hilfreich!

### 5/5 — Hat mir schon öfter extrem geholfen

*2026-06-29*

Sehr sympathische, kleine App. Hatte schon diverse Situationen, in denen ich schnell wissen musste, was wo wann fährt. Alle anderen üblichen verdächtigen Apps, waren da nur wenig hilfreich. Und dass das europaweit funktioniert, ist echt beeindruckend.

### 5/5 — Super

*2026-06-24*

Moin. Die App finde ich gelungen und super. Unterstützten klappt leider nicht. Egal wie ich drücke.. es passiert leider nichts!

### 5/5 — Ist zu gebrauchen

*2026-06-24*

Nach ersten Versuchen ist das eine Brauchbare Alternative zu den üblichen  ÖPNV Apps. Muss sich bei mir aber noch im anstehenden Urlaub bewähren. Ergebnis wird hier bekannt gegeben

### 4/5 — Super, keine Details fehlen noch

*2026-05-29*

Finde die App super, und auch sehr gut damit klar. Was ich leider schade finde ist dass man nicht melden wenn Busse falsch angezeigt werden. Bei uns ist das zum Beispiel der Fall mit den Bussen, die in den Schulferien nicht fahren. Die werden weiterhin angezeigt.
Zudem hätte ich das Widget sowohl auf dem Hintergrund als auch auf dem Sperrbildschirm gerne etwas größer. Dies ist aber leider nicht möglich.

### 5/5 — Super

*2026-05-27*

Da hat sich der Programmierer richtig reingekniet! Danke. Und es wird mit jedem Update besser. Dankeschön!

Ist immernoch voll kostenlos, aber ich würde schon gerne „einen Kaffee“ spendieren. Allerdings habe ich eine heftige „Abo-Allergie“. 
Bitte mache auch die Einmalspende/ Trinkgeld möglich.

### 5/5 — Genial

*2026-05-26*

Super App, macht auf den Punkt genau das, was man braucht, wenn man wissen will wann welcher Bus an der Haltestelle abfährt. 
Entwickler reagiert prompt auf Anfragen.

### 5/5 — gut gemacht

*2026-05-21*

tolle Funktionen. Unterstütztung gerne, nur nicht monatlich. Nicht noch ein Abo mehr, sorry !

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2026-05-20*

Wirklich sehr praktische App für den ÖPNV. Gute Daten und gute Umsetzung.
