Suspect something in the NextBus api changed. Here’s hoping the Developer fixes this soon. Will be happy to rate again when it works! UPDATE: Agency list now loads, thanks. I think the core ideas of this app are what I am looking for, but there are a few issues or me. At first it was not clear why I only saw a limited number of routes in the tab bar across the top and could only browse a subset of the routes.. (figured that out by going into the setting). Then with my routes preselected I was still having issues selecting a route/tab (but granted, I have been seeing other apps have somewhat similar issues on iPad after iOS 11.) But probably most disconcerting (and something that could be easily fixed) is the stop-favorites prediction times do not show which bus is coming at what time... just the prediction times (some of my stops have multiple routes I ride). ### 3/5 — Almost there *2016-07-06, version 3.0* Lots to like about this app but enough misses that I can't use it until it gets closer to what I need: I need to look at multiple agencies at once (I need train, bus, shuttle, sometimes ferry and that means multiple agencies in the Bay Area) and, at minimum, not lose favorites when I toggle between them. Will be waiting for that update! ### 3/5 — Solid app, no notifications *2016-02-10, version 2.3.1* I appreciate the functionality of this app. Of course, it's limited to being as reliable as the service it tracks, but it is just simple enough to show me what I need without unnecessary fluff. I can't figure out how to get the Notification Center widgets working, however. I wish there was a way to do this or allow the app the notify me when my bus is approaching a certain stop. There seems to be no use of "starring" my stop without these features; as much as I appreciate the app, I don't want to have to pull it up every few minutes to see where my bus is. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2015-09-27, version 2.2.1* I updated the app and when i open it i don't get any farther than selecting my agency when the app crashes. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Not working *2015-07-22, version 2.1.1* The presumption is that they're still trying to get this up and running... ### 2/5 — Not good *2015-07-06, version 2.1.1* This app makes my iPhone freeze!!!! Aargh!!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-07-01, version 2.1.1* Doesn't work in Toronto - can't click any stops and doesn't show any routes ### 2/5 — don't make me do all the work *2015-06-08, version 2.1* The app knows where I am -- it should tell me about stops near me, the way the NextBus web app does. Don't make me select lines, favorite stops, etc. There's already enough contextual information to make smart decisions. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Where are the predictions? *2024-05-22, version 4.0.19* constantly lacking predictions is beyond frustrating ### 1/5 — Review *2023-08-30, version 4.0.17* Prediction schedules stop working!!! ### 1/5 — What happened *2023-08-21, version 4.0.17* Why can’t I predict any JTA city buses coming nearby huh? ### 1/5 — Agency not listed *2019-12-12, version 4.0.2* Just paid for this app that doesn’t list the MBTA (MA) bus routes! Would be nice to know this before I downloaded and paid for this app. ### 1/5 — Wrong place in my agency - Rutgers Uni takes me to Rutgers Newark *2018-11-18, version 3.0.7* The main campus of the Rutgers system is New Brunswick. The agency list lists both Rutgers University and Rutgers Newark, but they both take me to Newark bus routes ### 1/5 — Only USA *2017-08-28, version 3.0.6* If you live anywhere others than America, this app is a waste of time. When you first go on, it asks you to choose where you live, which of corse is only USA, so the app is no use. Otherwise, if you do live in the USA, I think this would be a pretty good app. ### 1/5 — Would have been zero stars *2016-11-29, version 3.0.5* Don't bother with this app if you happen to be stood at a United Kingdom bus stop all routes are USA ### 1/5 — Inaccurate Time Estimates *2016-11-08, version 3.0.5* This app will tell you a bus is coming in 5 minutes. 15 minutes later you will get the same time estimate and your bus will not be there. Terrible. Not reliable at all! ### 1/5 — Crash master *2016-09-06, version 3.0.1* I'm not sure what buttons don't make it crash ### 1/5 — Where did all the routes disappear too? *2016-07-03, version 3.0* Most of the routes for Toronto (TTC) are now missing. What gives? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What’s “Invalid Agency”? It’s MUNI’s failure! *2023-10-07, version 4.0.17* The app shows the error now as SF MUNI, the most incompetent public transportation organization in the world, is doing one of their “upgrades” and cut off a number of apps from their feed. SF MUNI is a total disgrace and everyone working there should be fired. This department ought to be rebuild from the scratch after finding people who run the same business in Japan, Germany, Switzerland or any other place where they served a couple of million inhabitants. Anyway, I received a really fast response to my initial post with an explanation why the app does not work anymore in SF - thank you Alex very much for that. I’m happy to update my review as this is a problem created by MUNI. Original app is great because you can see a number of buses at the same time instead of only one line. I was happy to learn that Alex Perez created another app that work in SF ### 5/5 — What’s “Invalid Agency”? It’s MUNI’s failure! *2022-11-16, version 4.0.11* The app shows the error now as SF MUNI, the most incompetent public transportation organization in the world, is doing one of their “upgrades” and cut off a number of apps from their feed. SF MUNI is a total disgrace and everyone working their should be fired. This department ought to be rebuild from the scratch after finding people who run the same business in Japan, Germany, Bern or any other place where they served a couple of million inhabitants.

I’m happy to update my review as this is a problem created by MUNI. Original app is great because you can see a number of buses at the same time instead of only one line. I was happy to learn that Alex Perez created another app that work in SF **Developer response:** Hi Annoyedbycoinbase, Unfortunately, SF Muni was removed from the NextBus data feed so consequently it is no longer supported by the Busly app. However, if you download my other app, “SF Muni Buses”, it’s using a different data source and has the exact same look & feel you should be used to from the Busly app. Please don’t hesitate to reach out via the in-app Support button if you run into any other issues. Cheers, Alex ### 5/5 — Very useful *2016-11-07, version 3.0.5* Great app for the buses on UMD, always accurate, good UI ### 5/5 — Actually functional Glance *2016-02-16, version 2.3.1* I have been looking for an Apple Watch app like this, with "favorites" for a while. This will undoubtedly change my most used iPhone app from Roustsey to look up the next SF muni train. ### 5/5 — Best One *2015-09-28, version 2.2.1* I go to UMD, this app is absolutely fantastic! 10/10 ### 5/5 — Impressive *2015-09-13, version 2.1.1* 5 stars because it's hands down the most simple and beautiful app to use for NextBus-affiliated transit systems. Wish there was a way to overlay multiple routes on the same map, and I wish you could toggle route a bit more simpler (and not just have to choose from 6 that you pre select on the top of the screen, because I personally use different sets of routes depending on time of day), but overall a VERY impressive app, and it's even better than the native NextBus app currently. Great work. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-03-19, version 2.0.2* App was amazing. Got me through my whole vacation in Jacksonville ### 4/5 — Nice app *2019-02-24, version 4.0.1* Nice app but it would be nice if the routes were a different colour, also would be nice if the stops could be toggled on or off for a cleaner map look. Also would be nice to be able to toggle the bus route instead of the bus number identifier. Just suggestions keep up the good work! ### 4/5 — Having realtime glances of faves make it worth while *2016-02-13, version 2.3.1* Having your fave stops in glances is what a bus app for your watch should be! My only complaint is: why doesn't it display the bus numbers/Letters?! (Stops with multiple buses gets confusing.) ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2015-06-18, version 2.1.1* It's a good app and I hope it gets Translink and BC Transit soon. I can only use this app when I go to Toronto but I would love it if I can use it in Vancouver and BC. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
