### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-05-04*

Thanks Luis. This app is both beautiful and functional. Dinner at Victorias? 😝

### 1/5 — Liveview = one view

*2011-01-26*

Will only work the first time you check live view. From then on out it is stuck unless you reinstall it.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2010-12-04*

This app is everything i could hope for, i have used it so many times!

### 3/5 — Good App.

*2010-10-13*

Although I like having a handheld bus schedule, I wish that the live bus tracker would work better. Most of the time it says "cannot connect to host server", the bus loading screen loads forever, or the bus markers are just stuck in their old locations viewed from when it initially worked. Every time I want to see where my bus is, I must re-download the app so that it will work for a single viewing and then usually stop live updating of the bus locations. Any update that fixes this problem would make this an amazing app.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2010-10-03*

I'll never wait in the cold for the BUS again.

### 5/5 — BU Bus system

*2010-09-22*

This application is what all the cities need, I used it in Boston, And I can know all the time when the bus is comming to my stop bus and what bus I had to take, I recomend this application to all the people tha use the bus system in BU.
