### 5/5 — It’s 2022

*2022-06-11, version 4.1*

…and I can’t believe I’m only the 15th review of this rockin’ app. I’ve used this almost daily for the last 6ish years and have never had to look at it in the App Store! HOW is this thing not bigger? If you live in Chicago and have a phone and use the bus (as all us REAL ones do), just download this and thank me later. It’s always accurate and doesn’t shove ads into your eyeballs! There’s honestly no downside so just click the thingy and get it.

I take the bus almost every weekday. There are so many apps that track arrival times but make it so difficult to get an answer.
