### 1/5 — Worst bus service I’ve ever experienced

*2026-06-13, version 5.20*

The worst bus service I have ever tried, the buses are late consistently sometimes not even showing up. Would not recommend this bus company for travel to anyone

### 1/5 — unusable

*2026-06-01, version 5.20*

Ever since the new update it is super slow and laggy. It takes up to 5 minutes just to load the buses available sometimes not even loading at all leaving me without a choice but to rely on the bus showing up by pure chance. Joke of an app.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-05-26, version 5.20*

This new update makes the app completely useless it told me the bus was in one place when it was in a completely other place. This isn’t the first time either since this has happened in multiple occasions with me and my friends. The only good it does it tell you what time the busses are on and even then it’s still really inaccurate.

### 1/5 — Horrific and Unusable

*2026-05-15, version 5.20*

The design of this app is incredibly weird and the previous app was such better. I have no idea why it takes so long to track the location of a bus in the new app. It’s clunky and awkward

### 2/5 — Update has made this app worse

*2026-04-14, version 5.20*

Takes ages to load, crashes if you try to go from bus tracker to my ticket. Logs you out unexpectedly. It’s very awkward if the bus arrives and your ticket won’t load. I’ll be changing back to using the TWM Swift card next month as the app is unreliable.

### 3/5 — Diamond buses

*2026-03-15, version 4.27*

Most drivers are rude and they are late all of the time plus they don’t always pick up passengers at the correct bus stop but will drive off leaving you stranded.
I could go on but they don’t care about the customer and nothing will ever change.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-03-10, version 4.27*

App is unreliable, says it is one road and when leave house it goes by as tracker in correct. Then doesn’t show all buses. Advice you as a very loose guide

### 1/5 — Missing 14a bus 25 / 1

*2026-01-26, version 4.27*

Busses didn’t come all day no notice given ruined my day when busses are cancelled why don’t you notify? The215 is terribly un reliable your client liaison is appalling

### 1/5 — Very bad service

*2025-12-17, version 4.27*

Never come on time

### 3/5 — Good

*2025-09-16, version 4.27*

It’s good but one question

It says service updates and says subscription and I was wandering if this was a free subscription as I don’t want to pay for it
