So good

I am still using this app in 2025… but recently it work less and less, not loading busses, connection errors ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Rubbish

Absolutely awful app displays wrong times for buses and for the wrong stops, better just reading the physical timetable at the bus stop

I Need new routes

Hey I need new routes

Bad

Used to be a good app. These days it doesn't show live tracing if buses nor is it showing correct routes. Very disappointed

No long updated no longer working

This has been my go to app for years. It always gave you accurate times of due buses.
Unfortunately it’s not been updated for a
Number of months and it now only works if connected to WiFi, if you have 4G or 5G it will not load any data. I checked the app settings to ensure my phone allows mobile data and the settings are all good. Can only assume this app has died which is such a shame as other apps, going by the reviews are terrible for accurate bus information.

Rarely works

Hopeless.

Terrible

This app is useless, I work as a carer and rely on a bus to get around, obviously a bus can’t help being late but this app will just make up a time of it getting their saying it’s “tracking” it but really has no clue, buses go from 5 mins till due too been and gone in a minute, I have missed countless buses from relying on this app, recently I’ve started to use the other Edinburgh bus and app and it’s been amazing, not let me down once, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS

APP Not working

Seems to be not working today as no buses are showing up at any bus stops around the city.

EdinBus app

About the above app.OK but again you mention Twitter. I don't use Twitter and I don't have an account with them. Not everyone has a Twitter account or is interested in any social media. I am in this category. It would help if you gave information that would help non-Twitter people like me. Thank you.

Very unreliable info

Has become unreliable. Latest example - I’m on a No. 5 that route shows wrongly goes along Waterloo Place. Timing also out so my 3 min window to connect to No.113 has now disappeared. Grrr. Shall delete n use other apps.

Rubbish

When you’re leaving the house to go to work and you want to see what time the bus is - don’t rely on this cause it’s useless. Used to be good

Use daily for bus times

Use this app every day, it’s my go to app for bus times and usually I like it but it doesn’t seem to be working today 😫 please fix pronto because alternative apps are rubbish. This app isn’t as good for planning unfamiliar routes but it’s perfect for checking departure times from saved stops.

Could do better!

I’m at location “A” I want to get to location “B” which bus(es) can I get. Your app doesn’t tell me. I would need prior knowledge about bus routes! However GoogleMaps does answer my question it gives me all the information I need to get from A to B by bus!!

Doesn’t track buses accurately

Is supposed to be tracking accurately but many times buses didn’t arrive. Also a lot of the times it’s not working. 0/5 stars

Ios11 update

Thanks for updating this app - so much more straightforward to use than the tfe app!

I rely on this app

Much better than the official app. I’m so happy that it was updated for iOS 11.

Great Update for iOS 11

Love this app. Very useful. Better than the ‘official’ Lothian Transport app.

Update for iOS 11

Yes you need the update.
Don’t want to miss the bus

IOS11

Will not open now that I have updated. Dev history says it is updated, AppStore disagrees.

Great app in general

This is a really useful and very well presented, but needs to be updated according to Apple, as it will soon be unsupported by iOS.
