### 1/5 — Needs an Overhaul

*2025-09-20*

It’s a bummer that this app doesn’t work as intended. It would be amazing if they could get it going! I hope they work on it soon. Otherwise there’s not much of a point using the app — there’s no tracking and the UI needs work.

### 5/5 — Hele-On

*2025-03-11*

LOVE IT !!!

### 1/5 — Miserable

*2024-12-22*

It’s December 20th 2024 and when I click on the holiday schedule information I see 2023. There’s no live tracking. No specific stop information. So far my buses have been 20 minutes to an hour late or not shown up at all, the “transit center” in Kailua moved months ago without any updated documentation causing missed buses. This is pathetic.
