### 4/5 — Modifying bus routes

*2026-04-15, version 4.0.20*

Changes in routes should be reflected(e.g. Northside Dr is currently unavailable)

### 4/5 — Paid option

*2019-02-06, version 4.0*

App is mostly good and does its job. However, as of v4.0, you had to insert ads. Could we get an option to purchase an ad-free version?

### 4/5 — Helpful, but...

*2018-09-24, version 3.0.7*

If only it had the grocery shuttle

### 5/5 — A must have

*2016-08-29, version 3.0.1*

Day -5 (orientation) Must have. Simply would not have had an easy time getting from one side of campus to the next without the buses and this app works extremely well. Keep it up!

### 5/5 — Unbelievably Invaluable!!

*2016-08-22, version 3.0.1*

My life has improved drastically since I downloaded this app. I've stopped gaining weight, my wife took me back, I've even moved out of my parent's basement. Oh, checking to see when the buses are coming is pretty handy too.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-02-20, version 2.3.2*

This makes my life so much easier and it works really well. One thing I (and many others) really really want in this app is tracking the weekend grocery shuttle. Please add that!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2016-02-04, version 2.3.2*

So easy to use and incredibly useful. Excellent job!

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2015-11-20, version 2.2.2*

It's great

### 5/5 — Alert the User

*2015-08-19, version 2.1.1*

Could you guys make the app alert me when the bus that I have selected is 2 minutes away? That would be cool! I really enjoy the app, and I use it exclusively. Cheers!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!

*2015-07-16, version 2.1.1*

This app is on my home screen. I live off of this app. This app is my life, my hero, my savior. I would cry without it. It is pure torture to not know where the bus is. It saved my life when I needed it most.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too few buses

*2024-04-10, version 4.0.19*

Why so few buses used? Why do drivers take frequent breaks parked with no movement for 15 minutes at a time? leaving students stranded and late for class? Very poor service. Seems to be something you advertise to prospective student families to show how awesome tech is on paper.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2019-02-07, version 4.0*

The worst app in the world

### 1/5 — Ads

*2019-02-05, version 4.0*

Why use an app with ads when one could use the official app that has no ads

### 1/5 — This app is made for the 90s

*2018-10-05, version 3.0.7*

It takes a while to load the app. The location of buses is not always updated on the app. The number of buses provided by the university is too low on a given route sometimes, so there is no fixed time when a bus on a particular route comes to particular stop.
Considering that google maps exists, seeing technology like this app today from a good university is just sad.

### 2/5 — Buses show inaccurate locations

*2023-01-08, version 4.0.11*

The bus drivers don’t turn on their gps so we don’t know where they are and it’s so annoying

### 2/5 — Meh

*2021-03-29, version 4.0.4*

The time estimates are wrong 100% of the time, the buses randomly stop for ten minute periods, the second biggest route (red) isn’t even on here

### 2/5 — Worst UI

*2019-11-21, version 4.0.2*

I really dislike the UI of this app. I cannot even see the complete name of the bus routes.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2017-04-20, version 3.0.6*

The arrival times are off almost 50% of the time. Sometimes it says 15+ minutes, so I leave. Then it comes in 2 as I am walking away. Very annoying.

### 3/5 — Missing routes

*2021-10-10, version 4.0.5*

Needs to add the routes

### 3/5 — Frustrating “zoom out” behavior

*2021-08-11, version 4.0.5*

Great job on the app! Two things though:
1. Every time I zoom into the app, it zooms me back out if I’m moving. Its super annoying to use if I’m walking for that reason. Please get rid of that.
2. The names of the routes are not legible. Consider changing the UI there to have it fit.

### 5/5 — Anonymously Secure Brilliance

*2020-01-09, version 4.0.2*

F* Superb for STEM minded peeps! Hit me up Alex if you want some free legal audit help to extend this kickstarter development further than your dreams could take you! Everyone needs some crowd source funding! Its the AmeriCorps way!!!

### 5/5 — Simple and Practically Useful

*2019-08-23, version 4.0.1*

It solely focuses on GT campus. The map is always going to be the same map, it usually does not allow you to span to other areas outside campus (and use it like a google map), which makes it purely goal-oriented.

It does not retrieve your location information! Given GT students are mostly familiar with the campus, the need for knowing her/his current location on campus by using the app is dispensable. Besides, I personally consider location information as part of my privacy, and the app serves the purpose without getting into this “turbid water” by not asking for users’ location. Of course, the sole focus on only GT campus this relatively small area also helps contribute to that.

Even without your real time location, the app still tells you the names of the bus stops, shows buses’ current locations, and predicts the bus arriving time!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2019-08-22, version 4.0.1*

Love this app the only qualm I have is it now has no predictions for the buses but since you can see where they are that helps.

If you fix the predictions that’d be great! Way better than the new app.

### 5/5 — Works well, times are reasonably accurate

*2017-08-26, version 3.0.6*

👌

### 5/5 — Wonderful app!

*2017-03-31, version 3.0.6*

One of the most useful apps for GT students

### 5/5 — Great app! But needs most current routes.

*2016-10-24, version 3.0.4*

This is the app colleges need but don't deserve. If the devs could find it in their hearts to add the newest routes (ex: GT had started the "T/S express") each semester, then this app would be worth some $$. If they could add routes and keep it free, the devs would be heros in my book.

### 5/5 — I like this app!

*2016-10-04, version 3.0.3*

It's convenient to use.

### 5/5 — wow - wonderfully designed

*2016-09-21, version 3.0.1*

absolutely fabulous app! the UI and instructional text is super simple and very easy to use. Thank you developer for keeping a good eye for design! 
a critical app to make your commute easier at tech :)

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2016-09-07, version 3.0.1*

This app is a lifesaver!

### 5/5 — Must Own

*2016-09-06, version 3.0.1*

If you go go GT, you need this app. The creator keeps updating it, and there are no bugs. Even a few Easter Eggs.
