Very annoying ### 3/5 — Ad Free Option *2025-11-08, version 4.7.9* I pay for the ad free option but every time I open the app it prompts me to subscribe for the ad free option. I also get small banner ads at the bottom. Not sure if that should be there or not. ### 4/5 — Clicking Bus times on map *2025-09-24, version 4.7.9* Overall the app is semi-accurate with bus times, may be few minutes earlier or later which isnt updated on app. Main issue I face is the map option or “Near me” button being inaccurate when clicking a specific bus stop location, usually giving me the times across the street even after various attempts, please fix this as I am missing various buses from this issue ### 2/5 — Disaster *2025-08-11, version 4.7.2* Was ok but does not show schedules anymore, bus is in front of me but app says no service today ### 2/5 — Not working today *2025-06-19, version 4.7.2* The app is not working at all. ### 2/5 — New interface is a step backward (4.7.2) *2025-05-05, version 4.7.2* The new interface is not great. When looking at the map for where buses are, it shoes buses going both directions. Used to be, a quick glance was sufficient. Now, I have to inspect each bus. Also, use a different icon for stops (on near me map) and buses (on route map). ### 1/5 — Bad new update *2025-05-04, version 4.7.2* This app worked really great but this new update absolutely sucks! What were you guys thinking … I click on the bus stop that I’m very familiar with, west bound, but it opens up the east bound side, I click on the east bound and it also shows me east bound side, I need to zoom all the way in to click on my bus stop for it to be the proper west bound side. The new map is not as direct and clean as the old update. ### 2/5 — Bus Number *2025-04-19, version 4.7.2* The app is good but the new update got rid of seeing the bus number on the actual bus icon so we knew where the bus was . Otherwise it’s still good. ### 1/5 — New update unusable *2025-04-11, version 4.7.1* The new update got rid a lot of important features (seeing the bus/vehicle number on the map, seeing when the last refresh was) and when you open the map to see where your bus is, it opens to the whole route vs zoomed in to your area. Perhaps the most egregious problem is it no longer shows you the bus direction you have selected (for example showing southbound when you have selected the northbound direction). I could have gotten used to some of the changes but not seeing the bus times for the stop I’ve selected? I’ll be finding another app to use. ### 1/5 — New update is horrible *2025-04-09, version 4.7.1* The new update took away features such as being able to refresh when you want and being able to see specific stops. It’s totally unusable now. You can’t even see when the last refresh happened for bus/streetcar locations. Very user unfriendly interface. I can’t find the specific stop I want to see when the next bus/streetcar is coming. ### 2/5 — The latest update brings ads *2025-04-08, version 4.7.1* Too bad that the latest version now has ads! ### 1/5 — Route table needs work *2025-03-25, version 4.5.7* The app specified a bad bus route for my entered destination (rode right past mother correct exit) dropping me off several kilometres from my intended destination ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This used to be a good app and now it is not *2026-07-17, version 5.2.1* Cannot see where the bus is as the screen schedule is overlapping by preventing it. Horrible idea. Also when i select the bus number , it goes to another screen with total different bus number . I would delete this app. It does it to other bus numbers I select and wrong information. Spotted a pop up about clean this app and I deliberately closed everything. Either fix it or bye bye and will be deleted. ### 1/5 — Every time I open it I see the notification that I changed the icon! WTF! *2026-06-12, version 5.1.1* Stop updating or find team that don't make dum errors like this. Where is the option to start with Nearby screen? Why you removing useful features? ### 1/5 — Not even 1 star *2026-06-08, version 5.1.1* Absolutely useless ### 1/5 — Obviously the person who created this app doesnt ride the ttc . *2026-06-01, version 5.1.1* Very disappointing . Missing most important feature and you want us to pay for this app? You got to be kidding ### 1/5 — Bad update *2026-05-07, version 5.0.3* Doesn’t have updates on line outages anymore. ### 1/5 — Wtf is wrong with your directions *2025-12-04* Why do I see me bus going east and 5 going west that I don't need!!! Stop doing stupid updates please and check your work ### 1/5 — App crashing *2025-09-29, version 4.7.9* ts clearly needs to be updated ### 1/5 — 5-8minutes lag on bus arrival *2025-09-25, version 4.7.9* The app is always about 5min to a max of 8mins behind on bus information. No way to track bus live. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2025-09-12, version 4.7.9* Don’t download this app it constantly glitches and will switch directions on stops that you click, which is beyond frustrating when you’re trying to catch a bus because you’re being shown an incorrect time ### 1/5 — Times are not accurate *2025-06-02, version 4.7.2* Annoyed that times of TTC are not accurate. Someone needs to make an app that is actually effective ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Shameless 🥐🥨🧀🥯 *2026-08-17, version 5.2.1* Grout s 🥑🫒🥕 ### 5/5 — Shame *2026-06-05* Grout s ### 5/5 — Shame *2026-01-11* Grout s ### 5/5 — App update - bad! *2025-04-22, version 4.7.2* The worst update ever!!! App was great before the last update!!! Minutes that are shown for bus to come are so not real!!! It seems like the app never refresh itself. You have to go to see where bus is so you know how much time you have. Everything is mixed up and it is really hard to figure out where everything is now. This is the worst update on any app I have ever seen! Updates should improve apps not make it worse. I think I will have to use another app from now on. ### 5/5 — Consistently strong *2025-01-20, version 4.5.7* Great app, just wish there was a way to pay to clear the full screen ads. They always seem to pop up and lock the app exactly when I’m in a transit panic ### 5/5 — Beta *2025-01-14, version 4.5.7* Beta ### 5/5 — Good 😊 *2024-11-06, version 4.5.7* This app is the best, everyday I am going to school and this app show’s me when the bus is coming ### 5/5 — Nice *2024-10-12, version 4.5.7* Real time info when you need it👌 ### 5/5 — The best app for OC Transport *2024-05-01, version 4.5.7* Best app I found for OC transport and I organise my travels. ### 5/5 — Wow. amazing transit app *2024-04-30* I’m in Toronto and this app is great for bus and subway times.
