Buses appearing and disappearing from the list ### 4/5 — Travel *2026-08-19, version 2026.25* It’s good to know when the busses are coming ### 2/5 — Has become less reliable *2026-08-14, version 2026.25* On multiple occasions since the update I have waited at a bus stop for a bus that was supposedly and the bus has never arrived. Sometimes consecutively. Is it showing live buses or timetabled buses? If the latter the app becomes significantly less useful. ### 3/5 — 492 is a terrible service *2026-07-23, version 2026.25* Always late or don’t turn up drivers not always pleasant. And the new time table is awful,we never know what is going on not clear at all. My star is for a couple of drivers who are dealing with misery every day. Not happy at all. ### 3/5 — my honest opinion (please read) *2026-07-15* The app is decent I guess but the timetable is always not matching up with the bus times and sometimes the buses don’t even come or say it’s longer than it actually is because that was the case for me yesterday. I went to the bus stop in the morning to get to school and the bus said 6 minutes. It didn’t come, not even the bus after that came as well and I had to walk all the way to school and was very lucky as I came at the bell and was almost marked late. I could’ve got a 20 minute detention after school (not bad) but still. If your buses go on diversion pls put it on the bus times so that people who were waiting for that bus are aware and thus app needs a lot Of work too ### 2/5 — Alright *2026-07-02, version 2026.25* I lied this service is Aboustley horrid I would honestly walk sometimes or use the sun to tell me when the bus is coming why am I waiting 162 minutes for a train Tfl.Not to mention the fact that you don’t EVEN put some buses on there I’ll be walking and next thing ik the bus that I needed has zoomed by me you own like a billion pound company and ur telling me y can’t even predict your own busses?. ### 3/5 — Very hit and miss *2026-07-02, version 2026.25* I find a lot of instances the bus times are way out and if we followed this religiously my daughter would either be late or missing buses ### 4/5 — great *2026-07-01, version 2026.25* great ### 1/5 — No indication of diversion and closed bus stops *2026-06-30, version 2026.25* Why don’t you know when roads are closed. The 484 is diverted because of Thames water works so bus stops are closed. No indication on your timetable. ### 1/5 — Update *2026-06-25, version 2026.25* Was a great app, but the new update ruined it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — TFL *2026-08-23, version 2026.25* As everything TFL falls short, way short of what is required as s basic service and focuses on the unnecessary ### 1/5 — Unreliable bus time *2026-08-19, version 2026.25* Buses don’t always follow the bus times thru thid app! Even the driver said don’t trust this app! Waste of time using this. Had to delete! ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-08-12, version 2026.25* Bus times just fall of the reading when closer to due and then the bus turns up. Useless app. Does not work anymore clearly an unfixed bug. ### 1/5 — Buses *2026-08-06, version 2026.25* At bus stop WA for 469 3 of us have the app open One says3 mins, another 9mins, the other 11mins Duh! Useless app ### 1/5 — Just terrible. Worse than useless. *2026-08-04, version 2026.25* Constantly tells you a bus is coming only for it to disappear. Also likes to give an ETA that remains stuck at, say, 3 minutes for 5+ minutes until you give up and walk - only for the bus to roar past when you’re a few hundred metres from the stop. The app should just be honest and say “ETA? Your guess is as good as mine.” ### 1/5 — Absolute bs *2026-07-28, version 2026.25* It’s so unreliable and just lies all the time. Dont use this app bro the amount of times im running late and the bus says “due” but its been like 10 minutes?? just useless tbh. Do better ### 1/5 — Lynda *2026-07-19, version 2026.25* If I had left any later I would have missed the bus, I shud of had a 20 minute wait instead it left just as I got to the bus stop. Always shows wrong times. ### 1/5 — Off by far!! *2026-07-16, version 2026.25* I’ve used this app few times and unfortunately the timing for Pontoon Dock is always off. ### 1/5 — App needs serious work *2026-07-11, version 2026.25* App used to be great, but now regularly shows times for buses that are out of sync with the actual schedule. It’s incredibly inconvenient to use for travel when you don’t know if you’ll be waiting 1 minute or 30 mins for the next service. ### 1/5 — If you want to get home didn’t use *2026-07-04, version 2026.25* Wanted to go home after night out with friends and the app gave me nothing no information was all blank Please use other app or get Uber as I had to this evening ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Puplic Transport *2026-08-30, version 2026.25* 5 ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-06, version 2026.25* This app is so easy to use and is very reliable. I have never experienced it being incorrect. I have also as a test compared it to the bus stop clock and it is always accurate and I take lots of buses. ### 5/5 — Not really sure …. *2026-07-27, version 2026.25* Real rating is 3 stars . Shows buses and when they run . Timetables , names of stops that are even shown on a map I mean what’s not to like ? Pretty good but honestly, isn’t too accurate . Can be very unreliable and hard to navigate through the app sometimes . Don’t know if I would recommend but it’s hard to actually find apps that tell you this sort of stuff. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-23, version 2026.25* Good ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-07-10, version 2026.25* Excellent when the bus stop closest to my work doesn't have a countdown timer . This is always accurate. It's also good in the pub you can time when to finish your pint and not wait out in the cold! ### 5/5 — Very easy to understand *2026-07-10, version 2026.25* Amazing ### 5/5 — Useful *2026-07-08, version 2026.25* Helps me to plan when to leave home and avoid waiting for ages at the bus stop ### 5/5 — The best bus app every *2026-07-07, version 2026.25* It’s rly good tells the exact times and I love that it shows the nearest bus stops byeee🫰🫰 ### 5/5 — TRIP RRR T TRIP *2026-07-07, version 2026.25* C11 usually on time unleashed diversions and road works are in action. Drivers not all are polite, but also very rude and moody! But you get this type of response on all routes. ### 5/5 — Bus app *2026-06-24, version 2026.25* Amazing app sometimes times are off but mostly accurate and useful I use it everyday for all my travel needs --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
