### 4/5 — Great little app

*2024-11-12, version 2.4.6*

Positives

When you have your stop to work, stop to home and favourites setup the app works great. 90% of the time the app displays where the bus is on its route and lets you plan when to leave. The other times I am guessing the GPS isn’t on on the bus.

Searching by route works well when setting up your favourite stops. 

Negatives

Not the freshest UI but it works

It can be hard to find the stop you are looking for due to numerous stops with similar names. Particularly in the nearest stop feature. It would be great if it showed you which direction the bus was heading from each stop and not just in the route search.

Conclusion

Much better than the local service provider for providing real time updates on buses around Belfast.

### 4/5 — A bit of a basic layout

*2020-11-11, version 1.1*

The layout is a bit old school, and saving your favourite bus stops can be a hassle as loads of them have similar names. It's handy when the busses are running early or late, you can check the map to see where they actually are. I suspect not all buses have their tracking devices turned on though. A few times it has crashed on me or taken ages to load

ETA has stopped working since I updated to iOS 14

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2020-01-13, version 1.1*

Needs update, not compatible with new phones

### 1/5 — Crash

*2019-11-13, version 1.1*

App was working good and live updates, app needs updated as you don’t know what bus is what now

### 3/5 — Bus numbers no longer show

*2019-10-06, version 1.1*

I am using an iPhone X running in iOS 13 and this app no longer works properly!The green icons show on the map but when you press on the icon the service number of the bus no longer shows, so when there are numerous green icons it is not possible to determine which bus is the one you are tracking.  This is particularly problematic during peak times when there are numerous buses on the roads.  Please address this flaw.

### 1/5 — Terrible:

*2019-06-11, version 1.1*

Random app, doesn’t even come close to telling where the buses are..

### 5/5 — Much better than Translink’s app

*2019-04-16, version 1.1*

This is a very good app. Seeing your bus on the map in real time is the best feature. Plus, the ‘Home’ and ‘Work’ buttons are great for taking a quick look at when the buses are expected.

### 3/5 — Useful when it works

*2018-10-16, version 1.1*

The app comes in very handy but that’s only some of the time as it sometimes shows buses, sometimes doesn’t, and a lot of the time the bus just magically disappears...needs some bits fixed which could be funded by advertising!!!

### 4/5 — Better than the Translink App

*2018-09-16, version 1.1*

Useful app that shows you where your bus in Belfast actually is.  Needs some improvement — the stop info for some Glider feeder services which run in a loop is inaccurate (the time for the beginning and end of the route is the same) and some East Belfast stops have been placed in the Chester/Merseyside area!

### 5/5 — V useful

*2018-09-11, version 1.1*

More reliable than the Translink app. I use it every day. One tiny bug the Queens Square stop location is wrong.
