### 1/5 — Zero

*2025-08-10, version 1.3.3*

If I could give this app zero, I would. This app doesn’t help.

### 1/5 — Nightmare transit app

*2024-08-12, version 1.3.3*

The app is terrible. The app designers should copy the TTC app

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-07-02, version 1.3.3*

Same here, zero if I could. Don’t know waste your time.

### 1/5 — Ineffective

*2023-12-16, version 1.3.3*

Do you have crashes frequently, it simply lifts off of Google maps. Now worth downloading.

### 2/5 — Update

*2020-08-08, version 1.2.2*

In this day and age, you guys need to fix your app, idk how people are supposed to take the bus of your app doesn’t even open

### 1/5 — Glorified PDF Schedules

*2020-01-08, version 1.2.2*

This app is nothing, but glorified PDF schedules, that are wrong !  I can’t believe it is so useless!

### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible

*2019-08-01, version 1.2.2*

I am an amateur developer and I can say with absolute certainty that I could design a much better app than this in my sleep. How about one field for where you want to go, another for the time you'd like to be there and then hit search. Presto, a list of routes with departure times close to where you are. Doesn't seem like rocket science...

### 1/5 — Such a disappointment!!!!!!

*2019-07-05, version 1.2.2*

Don’t waste your time website sucks app sucks it’s a disappointment I mean if your website sucks at least try to make your app nice!!!!! Like maybe add a video of how to use it! 👎

### 1/5 — Worst transit app

*2019-02-11, version 1.2.2*

I just moved from Kitchener and the GRT app works wonders. I can’t even figure this out to get out of the go transit. Fix this!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-02-03, version 1.2.2*

If I could give zero stars I would. This app is absolute trash - never use it if you want to take HSR. It crashes frequently and is horrible to figure out how to use.
