### 1/5 — Doesn't work—abandoned by developer???

*2017-07-23, version 1.0.12*

The app developers might want to actually look at this—hasn't been updated since 2015. Can't even open the app on my iPhone —it just instantly crashes.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2015-04-09, version 1.0.11*

This app is horrible. Every time I try to plan a trip i can never get past the first step which is inputing starting and ending locations.

Whenever I select the bus stop that is closest to my house it goes to another window that says long beach and Cerritos even though I live in a completely different city. It's so frustrating and a waste of time. Spend your valuable time trying to find a app that can actually deliver on what it says to do.

### 3/5 — Frustrating to Excellent depends ...

*2014-08-17, version 1.0.11*

It needs competition to improve. 

Such a normal common request like SR27 Topanga Cyn to 101, and 101 to I 90 or I 10, it can't handle. 

The frwy electronic billboard usually even has this info but bulletin board is north of where I get on 101, so I usually don't see it. 

Seems to never have info about the hill from 405 to like Sunset Blvd. 

Yet - get passed Sunset heading south and it seems to do a good job. 

Secondly - if I want report congestion or an accident slow down its not easy to do it. 

Maybe they need to coordinate with On Star so those of us with "buttons" can call in and report accidents or congestion that could be instantaneously sent over to 511.

Just a thought.

### 3/5 — There are better apps

*2014-08-08, version 1.0.11*

While it does give an estimate for how much the trip will cost, this is one of the most non-intuitive apps I have seen for public transit.  There is no automatic routing for your current location.  There is also no memory for you last searches.  I'd say go find another app.

### 5/5 — Awesome app if you are always on the go

*2014-08-01, version 1.0.11*

I enjoy using this app to go for a night out in the town or just want to go out of town for a day. Very useful on the go, traffic updates are reliable (especially when going to Vegas or Palm Springs), and bus schedules are on time. It should add San Diego, Imperial, and Santa Barbara counties since this app has most of Southern California already on it. Overall, love this app!!

### 5/5 — Time saver

*2014-07-03, version 1.0.11*

Easy to use, shows all sigalerts, and can show bus routes, times, etc for a desired destination from your location.  Not sure how often the traffic conditions are updated.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2014-06-28, version 1.0.10*

Shows accidents and backup on the wrong direction

### 4/5 — Reviewer

*2014-06-26, version 1.0.11*

Good app because I'm a traveler very usefull when there's traffic or an accident on the freeway I recommend this app if you go out and want to get there on. Time.

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2014-06-23, version 1.0.10*

Do not waste your time to dwnld & install.

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2014-06-20, version 1.0.10*

The app won't open...
