### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-11-17*

This app is garbage

### 1/5 — Definitely not ready for prime time

*2023-11-12*

I agree with the previous reviewer. If it actually worked like it’s supposed to, it would be invaluable. However, I can barely get it to load individual routes, much less save favorite stops. It’s a great idea, but it needs a LOT of work.

### 1/5 — Not Ready for Use

*2023-10-26*

This app needs a lot of work. The biggest issue is it hardly ever actually loads any data. By the time you open and close it enough times and then wait forever for even a single route to load, there’s been no point in using it in the first place. I’ll be relying on and hoping for somewhat accurate static schedules published online until it improves.

### 1/5 — Unfinished

*2023-10-09*

Why even publish the app when it’s nowhere near ready?

I’ve given it time and it’s still not finished. It’s pathetic. And then CHT has the audacity to publicize it like it’s the next big thing. 85% of the time the data won’t load on any buses.

I literally just need one bus stop to have updated times for 1 bus, and I can’t even get that. I was so excited when this came out because we had been without bus tracking for so long, and then we get this abysmal attempt at a tracking app. 

If I could’ve given it 0 stars I absolutely would have. Waste of phone storage.

### 1/5 — Just use the bus schedule

*2023-10-06*

This app is broken. It may work 50% of the time. Just download the pdf bus schedule.

### 1/5 — Not ready to replace NextBus

*2023-10-04*

NextBus is not perfect but it works most of the time. CH Transit app is working sometimes. Needs a lot of development before CH decides to stop supporting legacy app.

### 1/5 — Skip it until they can fix it

*2023-09-27*

This app does not work. Bugs prevent scrolling to see the bus you are looking for.

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2023-09-12*

why can I not scroll?

### 1/5 — What’s the point of it doesn’t work

*2023-09-07*

It doesn’t work….

### 1/5 — Not ready for prime time

*2023-08-24*

This app is not ready to be the only bus tracker. Even on wifi it’s difficult to use and the data often doesn’t load
