Next porn

App worked fine for years, then suddenly started giving me pornographic
thumb nails. Do not download.

Used to be a great app

In the span of about a month this app went from being amazing to one that doesn’t work at all. Ever since they updated the user interface, it’s been nothing but glitchy. Now it doesn’t show bus times for any stop at all. It’s really a shame, for about 10 years I used this app everyday.

DO NOT UPDATE!

Latest update doesn’t seem to interface with WMATA data and shows every bus stop as having no arrivals. Please fix!! This is the only useable app for WMATA.

No longer workable

My bus stop no longer is on the map. The old app took me to my stop immediately. This opens to the whole map. GPS anyone?

Still inaccurate

The app is still struggling to catch up to the bus line changes. My stop (Mass Ave and 5th St NW) doesn’t even exist on the app despite that it existed before and after the changes
