### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-08-09, version 2026.8*

Listed times are never accurate and cancellation is not posted

### 2/5 — New Update Doesn’t Show Timetables

*2026-07-15, version 2026.8*

Good app but the newest update does not show the full timetable of the route you’re on.

### 1/5 — Slow

*2026-06-18, version 2026.8*

It’s fine if you can get anything to load at all

### 5/5 — Chris is the goat

*2026-06-07, version 2026.7.4*

Chris from the AB1 bus actually made my day so much better, he’s the best. What a guy. Deserves a raise.

### 1/5 — The App

*2026-06-07, version 2026.7.4*

The App isn't very user friendly. I will delete it on the 10th because all I want to do is see the bus schedules, not make a trip. Your format is all wrong. I could design a better app than this.Lol

### 4/5 — I use this app all the time- however there’s room for improvement….

*2026-05-28, version 2026.6.1*

I really like several aspects of this app, but there are definitely areas that could be improved.

The route planning is very helpful — you can choose your method of transportation, get step-by-step directions, ETAs, and route updates, and the app continues running in the background even when your phone is locked. I also like being able to save routes instead of searching them every time. The real-time tracking feature is a great idea as well.

However, the live tracking is not always accurate or consistently updated. Sometimes it will say a bus or train was at a stop several minutes ago, but then stop updating its location entirely.

I’m also disappointed that some route options are locked behind a paid subscription. The free version only shows limited routes, while apps like Google Maps or Apple Maps provide similar transit information at no cost.

Another issue is that if you don’t press “Go” when starting a route, the app doesn’t recognize that you’re already on the bus or train. Instead of updating your trip progress, it may only show the next arrival times, which can be confusing.

Overall, though, the app still has a lot of useful features and I use it often. For people who use public transportation regularly — especially those willing to pay for the subscription — it could be a really great app. The free version may still work perfectly fine for some users as well.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-03-01, version 2026.2*

Once you get a subscription, they make canceling it so difficult it’s nearly impossible

### 1/5 — Incorrect tracking

*2026-01-16, version 2026.1.1*

The times they have for train track are always late plan to be there ahead of what the app tells you or you will miss your train/bus

### 1/5 — Too hard

*2025-12-23, version 2025.5.3*

Should be much easier to just plan a trip, but this app is very hard for that to be done intuitively

### 1/5 — No updated routes no announcement

*2025-12-03, version 2025.5.3*

The RTD has a track shut down at the Southmoor station for some time now and the routing system is still hallucinating train routes traffic and time. There is no announcement that the H line is cancelled past Southmoor, there’s no warning that traffic at the Southmoor is currently being manually trafficked. Nothing! This app literally cannot handle the RTD having any routing changes. You’d be better off reading the train schedule on newspaper from 5 months ago then checking this app.

• Destination Filters: show only services that stop at your chosen destination from stations and bus stops
• Sort saved stops and stations by distance from your current location
• Service Alert Summaries: quick, easy-to-read disruption overviews
• Improved battery efficiency when using live directions and location features
• Smarter Live Activities with automatic trip completion and journey summaries
• Home & Work locations can now be edited or removed
• Saved places and stations now sync automatically across devices with iCloud
• New Shortcuts and Siri support to start live directions instantly as a Live Activity

### 2026.7.4 — 2026-05-29

To celebrate World Awareness Day this month, we've added an extra accessibility feature - custom fonts. From the Settings screen, you can now choose from several easy-to-read fonts that will be used throughout the app, including dyslexic-friendly typefaces.

New: Destination Filters

Just open up a station board, tap on Destination and choose the station you want to get to. You'll only see the services that stop there. Great for busy stations where you want to cut out the noise and focus on the lines that you care about.

Best of all, it works for bus stops as well: tap on Destination and choose the place you're going to, and we'll work out which bus lines from that stop go there.

Previously...

Saved Stops by Distance
Now just tap the toggle on the Saved tab to re-order your saved stops and stations by how close they are to you.

Service Alert Summaries
No more scrolling through long lists of alerts. The app now creates a short summary highlighting the most recent and important disruptions affecting your journey.

Better for your battery
We’ve made major optimisations to how the app uses location and background activity while you’re travelling. You can now tap GO with confidence that it won’t drain your battery.

Smarter Live Activities
Live Activities now end cleanly when you reach your destination. You’ll also see a quick summary of your trip when a Live Activity begins.

Home & Work improvements
You can now edit or remove your Home and Work locations again. Saved places and stations also sync automatically through iCloud, keeping all your devices up to date.

Powerful new Shortcuts support
You can now start live directions directly from Shortcuts or Siri. Instead of opening the app, directions begin instantly as a Live Activity - perfect for routines like starting your commute each morning.

The app also remembers your preferred routes. If a familiar journey is available, it will be selected automatically. Otherwise, just choose a route once and we’ll remember it for next time.

Clearer train departure boards
Train times are now easier to read in both the app and widgets, so you can find what you need at a glance.

If you’re enjoying the app, a quick rating or review really helps.
