● MAP 
The map is hand drawn by Visual IT and provides a unique geographically based view of London bus routes covering 450 square miles so you can easily get your bearings when travelling around the city. You can also use your inbuilt GPS to accurately locate and track yourself and see the nearest transportation stop and distance to it. This is the only public transportation route planner with this ability. 
Tap on the map for location information, use the inbuilt search feature or choose from a list of locations. Places of interest, museums, hotels, parks, restaurant, shops, hospitals, streets, etc, are also included. The route planner will automatically suggest the nearest stop to any place of interest you select. 
Now with the ability to place markers, routes and areas of interest directly on the map for future reference.

● ROUTING 
The application does not require an internet connection and will always be available to display a clear and detailed view of the bus routes, plus list and animate the optimum route for your journey. This product provides the fastest route calculations of any mobile routing application using actual published journey times with the ability to select the quickest route or the route with the least changes. 

● LIVE INFO 
When an internet connection is available, optional "Live Information" on the current state of the transport services can be viewed allowing you to plan your journeys in advance and avoid any potential delays. Unique to this application is the ability to turn off services that are out of action and automatically calculate an alternative route. 

● LIVE BUS DEPARTURES

### 2/5 — Coverage of London

*2022-06-06, version 4.0*

Very disappointing that this app doesn’t cover the whole of the Greater London area.
Come on Zuti, it wouldn’t take much work to extend the area of the mapping

### 2/5 — no recent uodates

*2018-05-28, version 4.0*

Still out of date e.g. 15 goes from outsideCharing Cross now, not Regent Street. No point updating for a new OS without updating the content.

When the content was correct this was one of the most helpful apps for getting around London.

### 5/5 — Very useful London bus map

*2018-01-26, version 4.0*

A quality app, as an infrequent bus user found this app very useful. Thx

### 1/5 — Does not work on ios 11

*2018-01-06*

Not working on ios 11

### 5/5 — Update IOS 11

*2017-12-30, version 1,8*

### 4/5 — Please

*2017-11-01*

Please update this app to IOS 11. It is my favourite and most essential app when I visit London. I have searched the App Store and can’t find anything to compare with it

### 4/5 — Please update

*2017-10-03*

Love the London Bus app. Disappointed that it’s not

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2017-09-20, version 1,8*

Still no update for iOS 11

### 1/5 — Can't find routes

*2017-08-07, version 1,8*

Good clear map but the routefinder says that it can't find routes. Sometimes it does display the route on the map, sometimes not. The instructions for use don't seem to match what I see on the screen.  If it did work as advertised it would be a really useful app.

Have now abandoned this after finding that it is not being updated as bus routes change. Aug 2017

### 1/5 — London Bus

*2017-08-04, version 1,8*

This app has quite a few faults as we found out today!!! Stops shown on app, but not on bus!!!
