User reviews

Trash

Trash pushing customers to paying for a service

This apps inclusion of ads is ridiculous

Every single time you open this app the first thing you see is a pop up to buy the premium account for the app. Then you have to sit through at least 2 ads before you get to the information you came to see. It’s just the metro, chill with the capitalism.

Unnecessary “advertising”

Why should those who can’t afford to purchase the full app have to see advertisements for games, etc. when we have to know right away when our bus comes before we miss it? It’s poor timing and poorly designed for this app when we have to catch the bus/rail and these advertisements pop up, then we can’t delete until it’s finished playing…. When we should be catching our public transit service.

So bad

Always trying to get me to pay extra.

Predatory Ads to push you to buy a subscription to remove said Ads

Clocked 2 Advertisement Videos at over 1min 30secs each before I’m even able to close or move to page with bus info. developers know what they are doing. Predatory and trash. Delete….
