Real time and map features frequently don’t work
The majority of the time the app doesn’t work properly.
Deceptive take on location permissions
It will take “when using” as “when installed on the device” and always track your location.
North American transit
I grabbed a copy of this app as it seemed to be about the only one that allowed me to live track buses in Banff. It’s not as feature rich as many of the bigger apps, and seems to struggle under load, although that may well be the Banff transport providers systems. Main thing is that it found me my bus when the schedule went out the window!

Great source of bus information when it works
We use it everyday to find out real-time bus location before it gets to our stop. The latest version however seemed to have broken the select route option. I am unable to select a single route option and am forced to select all routes.
Junk
Does not work.
Horrible
The app consistently crashes, does not stay up to date with busses, and overall just works so poorly. Every time I click on the bus route information, the app crashes. Every time I click on the stop information, it crashes. Every time i do anything, it crashes. This isn’t even taking into consideration how inaccurate it always is. The app will say “5-8 minutes away” for about 15 minutes and then no bus ever shows. It just does not update. The entire software system needs to be updated so the app can do what it says it’s supposed to.

you will miss class bc of this app**
Besides the fact that it has a live bus tracker, that is usually not accurate, none of the bus schedule times ever match up with when the buses are actually getting you. It could say a bus is supposed to pick you up at noon and you won’t see a bus even parked waiting to leave until 12:30. there’s gonna come a point where they actually have to make a change and update the app regularly because it is ridiculous how inaccurate this app is for the amount of users on it.

Bus routes not shown In off hours!
It is very important to me to plan out my bus travel routes the night before I’m going to go on a bus trip. However this app displays absolutely nothing when the buses aren’t running! It doesn’t display the path they take, and it doesn’t display the stops that I need to see to plan my route. No information at all is shown for the routes outside of the hours that the buses run.
Hugely Disappointing 😿
But I do like the GPS, and the list of stops for each route. I can’t speak to the accuracy yet, since I haven’t tried out the app yet while the buses are running.

I use both DoubleMap & TransLoc to meet my needs
Each of the above apps does something better than the other & I need to switch off between them both to get the full picture of what’s going on with the buses. TransLoc is more accurate about where the bus REALLY is instead of merely reflecting where it’s SCHEDULED to be. But I think there was a function in DoubleMap that lists exact intersections for bus stops. So I use them both.

Very buggy doesn’t refresh properly
I’ve missed the bus several times because even if I have the app open, it does not refresh the bus locations consistently. Super buggy, stops often don’t load when I click on them. Hard to see the direction of the routes so I have no idea which way the bus goes after it leaves the stop if it overlaps with the return route for the same bus

Best Thing Ever. Never Get Rid Of.
I am eternally grateful that Rochester, MN, participate in this app and that this app even exists. I have crippling anxiety and never thought I’d ever be able to ride a bus. Or even hold down a job again. I can barely read a bus schedule. I suffer a panic attack trying. THIS APP makes riding a bus, makes me having a job possible. Thank you. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work!!!

Half time it works
This app seams to only work in the AM in Fort McMurray. It never works in the afternoon, no busses show up on it.
Inaccurate often
Not all of the buses in my city have their location on so it’s difficult to know where they’re at and if they’re close to my stop. The buses also do not update always for stops, which, in conjunction to their locations being turned off, does not help. Sometimes I will be waiting for a bus and not see it on the map but it’ll show up right in front of the stop.

“STOP DETAILS NOT AVAILABLE” yet uninstalling fixed it
I don’t know why this app isn’t displaying the times for the routes in Bloomington transit, my previous phone had no problems from day 1 w DoubleMap. If this issue is fixed I will gladly rate 5 stars!! Please fix this issue w iPhone compatibility or whatever the car my be!
Good app, but bad details.
I find this app so helpful and essential to getting around my college campus. But there are a few things that make this app a little inconvenient. There isn’t a real-time ETA. meaning when a shuttle stops to take a break, or is waiting for the seats to fill up, it’ll stay say 5/6 minutes until it reaches the next stop, when in reality it may take 20 minutes. I find this to be the biggest issue, and it can really make or break my day, especially in the after hours. The app also doesn’t list if the shuttle is going to its last stop either , so when you’re waiting for a shuttle, it might suddenly shut down. Alerts for certain shuttle stops would also be helpful.

Low quality
The app tracks buses and it’s OK at that, although sometimes there is considerable lag between the app and reality. If you leave the app for a second and then return to it (e.g, say you get a phone call or a text or want to check email), it often (maybe always) freezes and you have to restart it to get the bus position. It will look like all buses have stopped moving. The estimated time for a bus to arrive is nearly alway wrong. Overall this is a low quality app.

University of Delaware bus
Having the buses location shown is helpful but need to have time list of when the bid is supposed to arrive not just say it comes every 10-15 mins. Should also have a tutorial of how to use the app when it’s first downloaded because as a first time user it was very confusing.
Complete Trash
Today marks the third time this week i've missed a bus because the "time to arrival" feature is bugged. Mine is a college bus system so a missed bus means i'm either late to class or risking parking on campus for $100 in towing.
The old rider app worked fine but they've forced us to install this and it's garbage. I'm better off showing up to my bus stop an hour before class and just waiting instead of trying to be efficient using this program.

Seeing the bus in real time, heavy cloud cover not withstanding, is such a great way to catch a bus. Like showing the kids that the app knows where the bus is!
Pretty reliable
Shows the exact location of the bus most of the time however certain busses for my campus are not on the map which can be frustrating and it is hard to tell what direction the bus is heading when it is stopped. Overall a good app.
