### 2/5 — It sucks

*2026-01-20, version 2026.1.8*

It tells me fake times get there I have 2 wait 30 mins

### 4/5 — Great App but now Ads

*2025-11-19*

I’ve always rated this app highly!! However now I when I check the timetables I’m getting disgusting looking ads! If it continues I will be deleting! I don’t mind ads but what popped up today was xrated!

**Developer response:** Hi there, if you see any ad which might be explicit take a screenshot, zoom-in to confirm and send it to outtaapps@gmail.com so action can be taken to get it blocked.

### 3/5 — Vanishing buses

*2025-10-21*

There are often occasions when this ap predicts the arrival of a bus, then delays it minute by minute for up to 15, often with the bus then vanishing altogether.

The worst example of this was one night the last bus to prospect was predicted for an hour, then 30 minutes out was just deleted

### 4/5 — Miss the widget

*2025-03-14, version 2025.3.13*

Hi Developers please add apple widget again for the this app as it was very useful feature.

### 5/5 — Lazza

### 5/5 — Fantastic transport app

*2024-09-30, version 2024.9.28*

Love this app- it's my go to moveability app. any chance we can get it back as a widget on iOS 18 . It's disappeared

### 5/5 — Good app

Best app ever

*2024-08-08, version 2024.7.26*

Easy to use and updates arrivals departures quickly.

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2024-07-01*

This is a really good app which is very easy to use but it would be better if you could see where the trains are stopping or if they’re express

### 4/5 — yuh

*2024-06-14, version 2023.11.12*

as a high school student this app makes it easier than any others

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

It sucks

### 1/5 — Coin toss

*2026-03-28, version 2026.3.24*

Most times adelaide metro website highlyy inaccurate this one same

### 1/5 — Lazza

*2026-03-07, version 2026.2.24*

What has happened to this app.Used to be quite good but now seems like it has no idea what is happening.

### 1/5 — Phantom busses

*2026-03-07, version 2026.2.24*

Should I run? Probably not, the bus we are showing you doesn’t exist or is on another route, and the bus you want, we have fun teasing you, showing it, then hiding it. 
Great user friendly layout but bogus info. 
Such promises, shame about the result

### 1/5 — Not good for kids/teenagers to use

*2026-02-18, version 2026.1.25*

At the bottom of the map review pages, there’re sexual images listed.

### 1/5 — Lies

*2025-11-20, version 2025.10.17*

They missed bus multiply times because they lied about the timetables

### 1/5 — bad

*2024-11-11, version 2024.9.28*

some times when i go onto the app to check the bus and trains it will load but says all of them is coming now and then when i go out of it then back onto it it just does not load it at all anymore so i cant even check any of the times they come so then i need to search up the stop and see when it is actually coming and it makes it so annoying

### 1/5 — 🤫

*2024-06-13, version 2023.11.12*

The bus should arrive on time everyday

### 1/5 — Service

*2024-05-23, version 2023.11.12*

Poor service 117 West Lakes Boulevard to city. One time this week the 1247 from bus stop 34 east side of West Lakes Boulevard didn’t even arrive the second today is that it is 12 minutes late. 1/10 score.

### 1/5 — It’s just unreliable

*2024-05-15, version 2023.11.12*

I have tried to use this app several times and it is never correct.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Yes! You need to run from all other transit apps to this one!

*2026-07-08*

Exactly the features you need to find the quickest option to your destination.  Other apps I’ve tried do not compare to this for config/filtering of just the info you need to see for the quickest decision on which way to run.

### 5/5 — Best app & love the title!

*2026-02-20, version 2026.1.25*

My kids introduced me to this app as they frequently use buses for school. Really helpful.

### 5/5 — Timing

*2026-02-05, version 2026.1.25*

The timing is usually a minute off or so but it’s usually accurate

### 5/5 — Accurate and very useful.

*2026-02-03*

As it says in the title. Has saved me a few times now, it’s also good that you can just have your favourite stops and buses.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-27*

Wish I had found this earlier. Way better than faffing with Google Maps or Apple Maps.

### 5/5 — Brilliant App

*2025-12-28*

Absolutely love this app and use it all the time.  Very user friendly.  Is a godsend when out and about, particularly if in an area where you are not familiar with public transport timetables and routes.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-09-18, version 2025.7.30*

It is a amazing app

### 5/5 — Accurate and super helpful

*2025-06-24, version 2025.5.28*

Real time and super useful. Easy to use

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-12-17, version 2024.9.28*

I use it all the time

### 5/5 — ShouldIRun Feedback

*2024-11-24*

It is useful to track what mode you are planning to board whether it would be bus, train or tram
By seeking what bus number will be operating a particular random service the same applies to trains and trams
I love using this app a lot while out and about
