Totally unusable now

A 30 second ad before you can see when the bus is due. Can't skip the ad! Will uninstall

The ads make the app unusable

Please Reduce the Opening Ads

I like this app, but I don’t know what’s going on lately. Every time I open it, an ad appears. I understand it’s only a few seconds, but when I’m in a hurry and need to check the bus times quickly, it’s really frustrating and annoying. Please consider reducing the frequency of ads or allowing users to access the app before showing them.

Too many ads

I’ve been using this app for the past 10 years. But in the last 6 months the long ads that you can’t skip mean I can’t actually see when my bus is coming. They are making the app unusable and I’ve just downloaded a new app in the hope I don’t waste as much time waiting.

Intentional Ad Placement

I used to use this app, and have done happily for the past year, where I’d have at least 10 seconds to check what time my bus comes, before an ad pops up to incapacitate my screen. In the last month or so, it’s been configured such that now 1-2 minutes is spent waiting for an ad to load up first. In London, when checking both bus and train times, every minute can be crucial. Right now, there’s almost no point in a free version of the app any longer. Thanks for the help, when you did - I’ll miss you sorely.
