User reviews

Perfect when visiting HFX

If you’re visiting Halifax and want to take the bus, this app is perfect! Easy to use and works seamlessly on the bus. Payment via apple pay keeps CC info secure. Would be nice to have bus schedules but I was able to use Apple Maps and Google Maps for that.

Device Switch Limits

Switch limits are silly, if my device dies and I need to log in through another phone and then switch back to my phone, then I’ve used 2 of the 3 switches. For your safety it says.

Good and bad

I want to know how many passes I have without counting. Bring that feature back please.
Ticket functions work well. I never have problems

Latest update

The latest update has not improved the UX. On opening the app, if the user does not carry a monetary balance, the user is told they have insufficient funds. This is extremely misleading, I have multiple pre-purchased tickets, so any message about funds is irrelevant. Only if the user is in the process of purchasing tickets is that message relevant.

New Update Gripes

The new update makes a lot of needed UI changes, and that’s appreciated. As well, this is the first time that the Apple Pay option has actually worked.

However, a pop-up warning me about low funds isn’t useful as I do not use the wallet feature, and never will. (Maybe create a setting to enable wallet funds reminders if it is helpful for others)

Finally, a feedback button would be great for issues like this.
