### 1/5 — Cool idea

*2022-11-27*

But cannot ever seem to get it right during commute times if a bus is caught in stalled traffic, the app doesn’t appear to integrate any live data! And false information can be a real waste of your time

### 1/5 — Can’t undo anything!

*2018-10-04*

Accidentally pressed Gaelic as display language. App creators offer no undo. Bad software writing!!!

**Developer response:** Hi there, you can change language by opening the Settings app and changing Display Language to System Language.

### 5/5 — Very handy

*2017-08-02*

Very handy
