Horrible
I wish I could give this no stars. The app is as inaccurate as the busses themselves are. I see a bus is coming in 8 minutes so I get out to wait for it and by the time I show up the bus is leaving, but the app says 5 minutes till arrival. I hate this app with my whole heart.
Favorite button has gone
I used it once a time before, but now I can’t find it anymore.
Unreliable
While it correctly operates the majority of the time, there’s a large minority in which it does not. This includes displaying incorrect route data, or simply not loading. The server runs on potatoes and is patchy at best.
So bad
The app never works correctly. Don’t be surprised when it shows a bus off the map or no bus at all. Also have fun in the afternoon when the app won’t load.
bus schedules
It's unfortunate how many riders use this app to find out when the bus will be arriving.
Use the bus schedule for that, not the app.

The update was a major downgrade
This app used to be really helpful before they redesigned it a few months ago. Sure, it needed some improvements with the user interface and navigation, but whatever they did to it did NOT fix that. You can no longer select specific stops on the map to see what bus routes come to them, which was one of the features I used the most. Now you have to figure out the stops based on names alone. Also the predictions are completely useless now. They used to be quite accurate, only messing up by a couple minutes at most. But now the predictions are so bad you might as well just take your best guess at when the bus will come. Many people rely on the bus system to get around, so this is a really critical flaw.
PLEASE change the app back to what it was before the redesign. It had its flaws but it was SO much better than what it is now.

Literally useless
Waste of development, data, time, and money. Please remove this app from the app store. Times and I’m going to assume routes too are completely wrong. I swear this thing is just generating random times.
Better Before Update
This used to be a helpful app and would tell you when the buses were almost at your stop but now after it updated it doesn’t show you the correct times and you cannot see where the bus is at.
Decent App but Inconsistent Busses
The app is pretty easy to navigate as far as finding the route you want to take however the buses themself are almost always late. My advice is to use this app as a rough outline for routes and to always take the bus one earlier then you think you need. (The red bird express never come 20mins apart like it says🥲)

Unsure what the point is if it’s not accurate
I’m doing an internship this fall at ISU. I don’t have a car, and I was so excited to see that there was an app to help me track the buses since I live a few miles away from my work. I saw the bad reviews but decided to give it a go.
In the mornings, the buses are pretty accurate and give me no problem gettin to work...but when it comes to getting home after a long day, the buses are so inconsistent and the app is no help. Out of four days so far, I’ve had to walk home because of one of two things. Either the app said there was a bus that never even showed up, or that there were no buses running all of the sudden. Out of most of my days WALKING back home, and when the app says no buses are working, I see two of the SAME ROUTE BUS pass by me.
I’ve never been so annoyed with an app or public transportation before. I’ve gotten a new pair of walking shoes just for this. Either the app needs to be fixed, or the bus system needs to have a better structure to arrival times. Probably both...

Inaccurate
This app is absolutely ridiculous on estimations majority of the time. Often times it will say “No vehicle detected” and then give false times for when the bus is supposed to arrive. Or it will show a bus on the map, but then when you click on it it will say “updated 4 days ago” so you never know if it is the actual bus on the route. Very rarely is this app accurate.

Biggest Piece of Trash
This app is the most useless app ever. It does NOT function 95% of the time. It’s never accurate and barely loads. The app looks like someone created it in the early 2000s and hasn’t updated it since. Every time I have ever opened the app a tear falls down my face.
Know Your Bus Location
Use it everything I ride. Works great!
This app is extremely inconsistent.
There are times where the bus times would be plain wrong. I’m talking about in the middle of the day, expected waiting time said 2+ hours. Other times the GPS would be off the charts.
Theres also no indication of when a bus line stops running, only spitting out scheduled times of a phantom bus.
Its a shame that this is the only public transit app offered in the area and I wish it was improved.

Terrible
I type in Walmart and it doesn’t even show up. Really?! Walmart folks. Just use google maps. This app is garbage.
Awesome!
The Connect Transit app is great for getting me to my destination!
DO NOT TRUST IT!
The app (and web) can not be trusted to show accurate times or locations of the busses. There are many times where the app does not show a bus on the route even though there is one. Estimated arrival times for a stop are worthless. Other than the Uptown/Downtown stops, all other stops are a guess...at best. Best bet is to get to a stop early because if you miss it, you have to wait another 30 minutes...at least.

So helpful!
I use this app daily to catch the bus daily! I appreciate that it shows me the stops near my location and the estimated time when waiting for the bus. The alerts for the detours are also greatly appreciated-especially in the middle of construction season! I use the "favorite" to save my usual stops and often set reminders to alert me when the bus will be arriving-this is especially helpful when leaving a busy work day. I am thankful for this updated app!

Great App!
This app is very useful and helps me track when the next bus will be at my stop! If you ride in Bloomington-Normal this is the app for you!
Not Helpful
Would have beeen better if they followed app process they used before. And the buses never seem to match up
