## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-01-15*

The app says it’s discontinued and to download a different app, and then the other app doesn’t have the Harrisonburg buses.

### 1/5 — NOT as good as the HDPT app for Androids

*2019-05-14*

Can’t get back to the home screen, anywhere I click it directs to the website. Maps is currently down so you can’t see where the buses are in real time.

### 1/5 — Just keep useing google maps. it's easier

*2017-09-14*

Can't plan a trip to leave immediately. Any directions just take you to google maps, so it's easier just to use maps to begin

### 1/5 — Unofficial is way better

*2017-09-01*

Jmu sent out an email about not using the unofficial app and to use theirs instead. I can't remember if they said the unofficial didn't work, but it worked perfectly for me last year and everyone else I knew who had it. Still works great. Meanwhile, this "app" doesn't even work. And I put app in quotes because it's barely even an app. It just opens up to safari to their usual bus thing which sucked in the first place.

### 1/5 — Another poor piece of software from JMU

*2017-08-30*

This is just another example of JMUs poor software development. They sent out an email saying that this app is more accurate and all, but that doesn't do anyone any good if the app doesn't work. Just generally less descriptive than other bus apps
