### 4/5 — Great app, addition needed

*2024-03-25, version 2.4.2*

I love this app and use it all the time. Can Stop D at Wellington Station please be added? Thank you!

### 4/5 — Times are confusing

*2024-02-01, version 2.4.2*

A good app overall but it would be so much easier to tell what time the bus is coming if it just said the time rather than number of minutes away eg “10.27am” not “87 minutes” away, what time is that? Minutes away is ok if it’s less than 10 minutes, otherwise it’s just confusing. Or even an option that showed both. PLEASE make this change it will make it so much more functional

### 2/5 — Please update, missing cancelled routes

*2022-11-16, version 2.4.2*

I actually prefer your app to the Metlink one, but it is not showing when the route is cancelled which isn’t helpful, the Real time data at the bus stops says cancelled so it should be possible, please please update so I don’t have to start using the Metlink app

### 3/5 — Update please!

*2022-02-22, version 2.4.2*

I’ve used this app for years but recently it’s been wrong quite often, buses either aren’t showing up or the timings are incorrect even with the green bar

### 3/5 — Wonderful until iOS 14

*2021-09-21, version 2.4.2*

I loved this app and recommended it to so many people but now can’t use it because my old iPhone can’t update to iOS 14. Please please find a workaround!

### 3/5 — App stopped working today 30 June

*2021-07-03, version 2.4.0*

All buses have disappeared from all my saved stops! Can’t seem to do anything to fix this - including removing from phone & re-downloading. 
NB Despite app update the bug hasn’t been fixed yet - still not showing any bus schedule!

### 4/5 — Great

*2021-06-30, version 2.3.6*

Great app, use it to get bus times for school but it stopped working yesterday and won’t update 🤷🏻‍♀️please fix this!

### 4/5 — big issue

*2021-03-20, version 2.3.5*

the app is exceptional for the most part. however i believe there is a bug that prevents me from seeing any of the real time information. so on the whole i’m very disappointed. please fix the issue now!!!

regards

### 3/5 — Shame!

*2021-01-28, version 2.3.4*

This used to be a great app but now there are bugs. Even the feedback button doesn't work b

### 4/5 — Has the app stopped working?

*2020-08-01, version 2.3.2*

It doesn’t appear to be receiving location from the buses or timetables from metlink anymore; it just says “no new arrivals” 24/7.

Shame because it’s a great app - way more user friendly than Metlink.

### 4/5 — Update, please!

*2019-10-26, version 2.3.0*

The No 14 route was amended a month ago, but the app doesn’t seem to have caught up yet, so it doesn’t give information for the Wilton-bound stops on Waipapa Road. Once this gets sorted, I’ll be as delighted with this app as I was before. 
August 2019: More months have gone by, and still no up date. It seems the developers of this app don’t read the reviews. Or don’t care...
October 2019: Yup, “don’t care” seems to be it. 
Now they’ve literally added insult to injury by calling me “a manus” (whatever that is)because I want to add a stop that has unaccountably disappeared from my favourites. Oh, screw it, I’m going delete the whole thing.

### 1/5 — Canceled services not highlighted

*2022-08-16, version 2.4.2*

Disappointed that cancellation not flagged early enough to make alternate plans.

### 1/5 — Route 14 problem

*2021-07-13, version 2.4.0*

Very useful and free app...however not working on route 14...which is he only bus I catch so unfortunately no use for me. If you too are on route 14 currently don’t bother downloading this app...it’s not working. Hopefully they will fix it, I have also sent a feedback to the developer who knows...

### 1/5 — iOS14

*2021-07-01, version 2.4.0*

What if you don’t have iOS 14 and you can’t update your phone to it. I want to download the app but I won’t let me. Or let me download a older version

### 1/5 — No longer works on older iPhones

*2021-07-01, version 2.4.0*

As above

### 1/5 — Can’t use!!!

*2021-03-22, version 2.3.5*

All buses are unable to be viewed besides school buses, leaving the app not functional at all. Please fix

### 1/5 — My favourite bus number functionality is gone

*2021-03-02, version 2.3.4*

You can’t select your bus number for your bus stops anymore, big thumbs down 👎

### 1/5 — Isn’t working anymore?

*2020-08-01, version 2.3.2*

Recently the bus stops have stopped showing any upcoming busses? 
Just seemed to have stopped working in general.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2020-07-31, version 2.3.2*

Nonstops are showing any activity of buses

### 1/5 — Worst public transport app I’ve ever used

*2020-02-26*

Not intuitive at all. Can’t believe it uses the term manus to denigrate users. Google maps is more helpful with public transport than this app.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-06-17, version 2.2.4*

Absolute wast of time trying to use it. Stick to google maps.

### 5/5 — Best.Bus app. Ever.

*2022-04-22, version 2.4.2*

What the title says, thank you so much 🙏

### 5/5 — Great app but I have a request

*2021-05-30, version 2.3.6*

To whoever developed this app you’ve done a great job. It’s super clean and easy to use. One thing I would love to be added in the future would be a way to rename bus stops as I think it would be easier for me to recognise “home to work” as a stop compared to what it’s normally called. 

Cheers!

### 5/5 — Handy App

*2021-04-15, version 2.3.6*

Great App for planning ahead

### 5/5 — Essential Wellington Commuter App

*2021-02-25, version 2.3.4*

Simple to use. Does just what’s needed. Very handy!

### 5/5 — Simple & easy to use

*2020-12-30*

Very handy - Ta

### 5/5 — This app is awesome

*2020-09-27, version 2.3.4*

Makes commuting so much easier - try it you won’t be disappointed. 

If you don’t have a sense of humour, don’t be offended it the app calls you a manus for trying to set a reminder in the past. 😅

### 5/5 — Called me a manus

*2020-09-06, version 2.3.4*

10/10

### 5/5 — Love Bus ++

*2020-08-03, version 2.3.4*

So much more user friendly than the MetLink one to use and thanks for fixing recent bug issues. Was gutted when I thought this app was gone!

### 5/5 — This app is the best alternative to Metlink

*2019-09-08, version 2.2.4*

This app has multiple features such as real time info on when & where your bus is. The user Interface is so easy to use. I believe the best part is the fact that you can use satellite images to find stops you want to favourite (although some are out of date I.e. the Kilbirnie hubs).
Overall a great app!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-06-17, version 2.2.4*

What a great app. Gives up to the minute info within a clear and attractive format. Thanks!
