### 1/5 — Bad app

*2019-08-02*

This app doesn’t work that good it’s like it work when it wants to you can really get the exact time or it’s not available y need to do better

### 1/5 — Won’t tell me correct times

*2018-11-25*

This app used to work great, but recently every time I try to see when the bus will arrive at my stop it always says less than one minute regardless of where the bus is located.

### 1/5 — You know what would be great

*2018-11-01*

If you guys could tell your users when buses are not in service or not so you don’t trick your users into coming out into the cold for a bus that goes right by them. Is it really that hard for you guys to do? This is a consistent ongoing issue that me and my friends have noticed.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I walked three stops that weren't mine in the heavy snow and didn't inform the driver when I got on

*2025-11-11*

Your staff are so free. There are still two stops to the terminal station, but they already kicked everyone off and then put up a "not in service" sign.

### 1/5 — A literal Waste of Time

*2024-07-12*

Make sure you stick to the pamphlets. the trip information they suggest in here is straight up incorrect and includes nonexistent bus routes (especially before 12pm). do better

### 1/5 — Can’t view routes

*2023-10-23*

This app doesn’t work at all.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-09-19*

This use to be a useful functioning app. With the new design, it barely works. And there’s an extra step to actually see schedules. Quite useless in its current form.

### 1/5 — Where’s the schedules????

*2023-02-24*

The app tells you what time the NEXT bus is.  I need to plan my trip FOR LATER.  What happened to the schedules???  Gee, I wonder why ridership is down…

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2022-09-21*

Centro has been around forever they need to update their app. Half of the time it gives you the wrong bus and the other half of the time it won’t work at all you're better off getting a physical bus schedule instead. I’d give this zero stars if I could don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Trip planner doesn’t work

*2022-09-20*

Just like the title says, it’s been broken for about a week so the app is unusable unless you want to just look at a bus schedule. Don’t need an app for that. Too bad because it was great when it worked

### 1/5 — App need a serious upgrade!

*2019-10-25*

This app is terrible it does not update fast enough it will say that your bus is 28 minutes away then if you check back 2 minutes later it will say your bus is 4 minutes away. Sometimes it will says no routes found for the trip you’ve entered meanwhile it’s a trip you take everyday.  Overall the quality of this application is very ineffective.

### 1/5 — Unsatisfied

*2019-10-04*

The bus tracker is not in-sync with bus. The bus gets to the stop at 2 minutes arrival. Leading to individuals missing the bus.

### 1/5 — Confused

*2019-09-19*

I'm sure this app is helpful for some people, but I think it's very confusing to navigate.

## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Totally like!

*2017-01-13*

Centro has needed an app like this. It does take a few days to get used to. I like that I can save / favorite routes and stops, and see where buses are. I've been using it every day. A keeper!

### 4/5 — It’s.. an app

*2025-12-22*

While personally I use the transit app, I was able to get around with the app. 

While the UI is awful, it does have live tracking in the app and that is very nice. 

Not bad but also not great.

### 4/5 — Could’ve been better

*2021-10-08*

It does help me plan my travels a lot. Hope the ui/ux gets better

### 4/5 — An absolute necessity

*2017-06-06*

This app is a necessity for figuring where you need to go and how to get there using Centro Bus's. The trip planner is the best feature. Only thing you have to keep in mind is those times are estimates, and when the driver is required to be there. Most times they get there a little later so be sure to be at a bus stop ten minutes prior. The only problem I have is the bus tracker. It's not always accurate and sometimes doesn't list your bus even tho it's technically in route.

### 4/5 — Good app when it works

*2016-12-17*

This is an informative app for Centro riders. Unfortunately, there are times when it indicates that there are no buses leaving or arriving in my area when  bus is actually about 5 or 10 minutes away. Since this is a pretty new app, I assume that they will work the bugs out of it....when it works properly it is a very useful app, particularly the map that shows the real time locations of the bus(es) as they travel on a chosen route. Looking forward to seeing this app become more consistent.

### 3/5 — Useful, with limits

*2025-09-29*

One thing I wanted to comment on here is the need for distinction between variations on the same route - for example, while 240 and 340 are part of the same 40 loop system, they don’t go to the same places or have the same stops. Making it clear in-app whether a bus is serving the 240 or 340 line rather than having the label as “40” would make a big difference.

### 3/5 — Need to update holiday schedule for Martin Luther King day and possibly other bank holidays

*2020-01-25*

I love the app but the other day on Martin Luther King (Monday Jan day it listed the buses running on my the regular Mon-Fri schedule. My bus never showed up & I was stranded in the cold for an hour til the right bus for the holiday showed up. Please update.

### 2/5 — Crashes when signing in

*2024-07-28*

Sometimes it logs me out(and I bought passes on this app) then when I try to log in it crashes every time, I wouldn’t recommend for you guys to have the option to buy passes if the app is so faulty

### 2/5 — Poor

*2017-05-28*

When doing the trip planner this app doesn't mention transfers. It just tells where to take the bus and walk from there.
