### 5/5 — Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant

*2013-01-24*

If you are looking for a really good transport app which links to actual maps.....download this a must essential for anyone who regularly uses London public transport.

### 5/5 — Best bus map ever

*2012-12-13*

It’s exactly what anybody would ever need: a single screen with a map, your GPS location and bus locations!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Bizarre results

*2019-12-24*

For example, shows a bus AT the stop saying it is 6 minutes away (time on the bus and in the box). There seems to be a 30 second lag between times on the bus and in the box - which one is correct? All apps are dependent on the accuracy of TfL information, but this one is so vague as to be useless. This app needs a LOT of improvement to make it useful. Will be deleting it after posting comment.

### 1/5 — Bus App

*2016-01-11*

It's rubbish. Wasted my money

### 1/5 — Did not open

*2013-01-25*

Looked forward but ap did not open on my iPhone not sure if for 3GS but concept sounds great.

### 2/5 — Almost completely useless

*2025-07-13*

Apart from the poorly designed and unintuitive interface, this app is inaccurate and gives you useless information. Its one USP is the ‘live map’ purportedly showing you the location and progress of your awaited conveyance. In reality it does little of the sort. 

When you locate the bus in question it almost certainly isn’t where the map shows it to be. This is because the update interval is several minutes (like four or five). So you stare fixedly at the screen and wait and wait and wait and then suddenly it moves across the screen to a stop that is miles from where it last was. It skips all the stops in between. 

Then, amusingly, it finally arrives at your stop (on the screen at least) but where’s the actual bus? So you peer down the road and after a couple of minutes it lumbers towards you. 

There is no practical point to this app, it simply doesn’t do what it should do. At the very least the update interval must be no more than a minute or a minute and a half. 

I’ve given one star above the minimum because it does provide an amusing distraction while you’re waiting. 

Must do better.

### 2/5 — Update

*2024-05-24*

Guys we need an update software. 4yrs old now.

Can we keep up the modern times.

Was working few days ago and now it’s not pin point my location and time of arrival of buses.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2016-06-30*

With just a few tweaks, this will be my 'go to' app when in town. Well thought out , uncluttered display.

### 4/5 — dependable

*2014-09-09*

nice app, easy to use and understand, good graphics, hope they put in bookmarks for favourite bus stops on next update

### 4/5 — Great app

*2013-03-11*

Would give this 5 stars if it did open at my location, have to touch GPS icon to do that-a bug?? Otherwise 99% of the time works really well, only failed to find stop couple of times. For anyone using buses regularly its really good. Many thanks.

Essential app for all Londoners who travel by bus, easy to use, plots all bus stops and shows how long the next bus    will be. It also displays the bus on the map in real time! Highly recommended.
