### 1/5 — Not good

*2023-09-21, version 6.01*

Only works on wifi, doesn’t work with my phone internet

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2014-08-30*

As soon as I downloaded app crashes

### 1/5 — Crashes at startup

*2014-08-29*

Terrible app - crashes a second after startup. I see a refresh database of stops appear quickly and boom, gone. Reinstalling doesn't help either. Junk.

### 1/5 — Worked great, now crashes every time.

*2014-03-30*

This used to be a great app. Don't know what happened since the last update, but now it crashes every time you use it.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2014-02-28*

This app crashed first time I tried to use it — Have received 1 update since originally down loading and this also crashed the first time I tried to use it.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2014-01-07, version 3.01*

Can't open on iPhone 5s due to crashing immediately

### 2/5 — Immediate crash

*2013-12-21*

Still immediately crashes after update. 

Looks promising from the screenshots, but I can't get it to stay open more than couple seconds. Immediately crashes.

### 1/5 — Crashes instantly

*2013-11-30*

Looks like it would be a good App, except it won't run. It crashes 2 seconds after opening.

Back to the drawing board guys!

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2013-02-17*

App immediately crashes upon opening.

### 1/5 — Crazy

*2012-12-10*

The app keeps on crashing as it tries to get the results. Can you fix the app at least soon?
