User reviews

Shameless use of ads

Garbage app that uses minute long ads or ads with no time limit and no exit button. You're basically telling people there's no limited free option. I wouldn't waste my money on the premium version of an app that uses such sleazy tactics. Would give -5 stars if I could.

Use the Moovit app instead

I use Moovit & it’s always accurate this app is not

Too many ads

The ads are preventing my ability to use this app.

Ads

I had this app for many years! But it’s WAAY too many ads now. I don’t have time trying to close out ads while I’m trying to look at my bus/train. Fix this!

Ads make it unusable

Want to look at when a train is coming? 2 minute ad for gambling!
Want to look at another train line? Full screen lingerie!

I’m not a prude but I don’t need either of these vices on my train app to look at how long until the next train is.

Also wished they returned the outage tab and not listi g them on each train only.
