Take a bow please. But is there a way you would be able to have a mode where all of the bus stops served by StarTran are shown and then you can click a stop and see what routes go to that stop. I needed to find the bus that goes to Hibner and I need to go through each route individually to find it. To be clear I’m not asking for a something that finds quickest route to something just a way to see the stops and what routes serve it. Koodos to you for a great app. ### 2/5 — Cannot see the stops *2022-10-05, version 2.2* I like this app, but there’s a bug where it only allows me to see the bus route, and I cannot see any stops or estimated times of arrival. There’s really no point in using the app if I don’t know where the bus is and where I can get on the bus ### 2/5 — I take 52 gas light *2022-04-25, version 2.2* I take 52 gas light and the app is not wanting to show bus stops or even connect to Startrann site ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-03-13, version 2.1.4* I love using this app to get between city and east campus. It makes it easier to tell when the bus is going to come so I don’t have to stand out in the rain or snow as long. ### 1/5 — Never accurate *2019-03-04, version 2.1.4* It never works **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for leaving a review. I am currently working on a fix for stops showing outdated information. The fix should be done and released within a week. If you are having any other issues, please email me at brandonhuet@icloud.com with details so I can use your feedback to improve the app. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Zoom Bug *2018-11-20, version 2.1.2* I usually use route 27 but when I zoom in it just force closes. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! I have been able to replicate what you are seeing, and am working in a fix. ### 2/5 — Great when it works *2018-11-12, version 2.1.1* I love being able to see where the busses are and what time they are leaving. However the app rarely shows the correct date and times on it. I’m often deleting and redownloading in attempts to get the correct date to show up. And even then it will sometime show only morning times, won’t update to afternoon times. Like I said- it’s a great app when it works... **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback! As you may have noticed in the past, sometimes StarTran’s tracking website is down, meaning busses and stops cannot load. As such, I changed it so that it downloads the current data, and stores it in the device so that if their site is down again, you can still see the last stop times that it was able to get. However, it sounds to me like it it either isn’t re-downloading for you, or possibly your data connection is too slow, so it gives up and shows outdated information. I will take this into consideration and see what I can do to improve the experience for you. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Bus numbers? *2018-11-05, version 2.1* Can you please put the bus numbers back on the routes. Otherwise a great and useful app! **Developer response:** **Update v2.1.1, the route numbers are now back on the front of the route names on the “Routes” screen.** Thanks for the review! Yes, I had noticed that they have been removed. The list of bus routes is pulled as is from StarTran, so they must have modified their names. I will be working to stick numbers back on the routes so they are easier to understand. ### 4/5 — Great App *2018-09-06, version 1.7* This is a great app that is better than the one StarTran offers. Only downside is that vehicle and stop icons could be a little bigger and maybe different colors that don’t blend in with the background as easily, as it’s hard to see them sometimes. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I will defiantly take it into consideration as I am working on a new update for the app. ### 4/5 — Nice app! *2018-05-20, version 1.5* This app is easy to use, and I like it so far. I’m very happy there is a working app for the local buses again! I am willing to pay at least a few dollars to remove ads, but the ads are not too intrusive. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review, I am glad that you are happy with the app! My initial goal was to create a great functioning app, and not to make money right away. I am working on creating an in app purchase that will allow you to hide ads forever! Until then, I have added the ability to "hide" ads for two weeks by watching a promotional video. You can find that under settings if you haven't already. Thanks again, and if there are any features you want added, I am always listening and will try my hardest! ## Frequently asked questions about Lincoln Bus Tracker ### What is the current rating for Lincoln Bus Tracker?
