### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-06-04, version 3.11.0*

I love gopher trip

### 2/5 — Not inclusive, somewhat informative

*2025-08-23, version 3.11.0*

This app provides bus routes around campus/downtown. However it doesn’t provide information for students commuting outside downtown which is essential for students living off campus.

### 1/5 — Tracking is Useless

*2025-02-06, version 3.11.0*

Want to know what time a bus will arrive? Easy, just click on the stop! Wait… the tracking info doesn’t actually match up with buses? Oh well, time to stand in the 0 degree wind for 10 extra minutes!

### 2/5 — Organization ID ?

*2024-10-18, version 3.11.0*

Bruh why do i need an organization id to use the app

### 1/5 — 6 busses on one block

*2024-09-04, version 3.11.0*

I’ve been waiting for a half an hour to get back to my St. Paul dorm and all of the busses are just chilling elsewhere

### 1/5 — no buses on weekends :/

*2022-05-22, version 3.10.9*

this app is 1) inaccurate 2) useless

### 3/5 — Good to have, but not to depend on for accuracy

*2022-02-01, version 3.10.3*

This app is good to depend on for seeing what routes there are in relation to your location and to see how many busses are in route. It is NOT dependable necessarily for what direction the routes go (seemingly all of them only go one way, from what I gather), and especially not reliable for the location of the busses. You can get a general idea for where the bus may be, but don’t expect it to be accurate. I would recommend downloading this app, but it definitely needs some improvement.

### 1/5 — No busses and it’s negative 5

*2022-01-24, version 3.10.3*

Please get more busses and hire more drivers, they few busses we have are packed and hard to fit on. Seriously makes it a challenge to get to class and the alternative is freezing outside for 20 minutes.

### 2/5 — Accuracy getting worse

*2021-11-06, version 3.10.3*

Live Campus Connector location data seems to have gotten much worse lately. This may or may not be the fault of the app rather than whatever backend is in use, but the lack of a manual refresh button and the always-recent time stamps here make things much worse. Watch another live-tracking app like Transit (which doesn’t seem to understand alternate weekend schedules) and be prepared to grind your teeth at the bus stop.

### 5/5 — Pretty great!

*2020-03-12, version 3.9.4*

Nearly always accurate enough, even on weekends and over breaks
