### 2/5 — Not very live information

*2026-04-07, version 2026.4.1*

DLR from Limehouse was shut even though it showed live trains at the station.

### 3/5 — Missing bus routes that other apps have

*2025-12-18*

In working out bus routes certain bus routes are missed like route 15 which mirrors part of the 115 route.

### 2/5 — Best routes

*2025-01-29, version 2025.1.3*

App doesn’t always suggest easiest or most direct route

### 4/5 — Zur vollsten Zufriedenheit

*2024-07-21, version 2024.4*

App hat uns in London perfekt geführt, andere Apps waren umständlich oder unübersichtlich.Besser geht es eigentlich nicht, die Überraschung war aber dann ,das ich sogar zu Hause im Chemnitzer Bereich ,Verbindungen angezeigt bekomme.

### 4/5 — The “lines” icon gets covered by alerts

*2024-06-28, version 2024.3.19*

I realy like the app, but you can only see the lines option if there are no incidents.

### 2/5 — Navigation of app is diabolical

*2024-05-24, version 2023.1.7*

On split lines, such as the Central Line, Thameslink etc, you cannot save the branch you want. I want information on the Epping branch of the Central Line and the Peterborough branch of Thameslink to hand, not the Hainault and Bedford branches (respectively).

### 3/5 — Ganz brauchbar …

*2024-04-12*

… aber natürlich kommt bei/nach jeder Aktion die Frage nach dem Abo. 
Ich habe dann die ‚normale‘ App (TfL Go) benutzt.
Mit ein klein wenig Englisch ist die sehr gut bedienbar. 
Diese hier geht natürlich auch 😉

### 4/5 — Service

*2024-02-12*

Fast and accurate

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind feedback - we appreciate it!

### 4/5 — New App icon child like

*2024-02-10*

Great app, however, the new app icon is very child like, old one was much better.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback - app icons can be divisive, remember you can change the app icon anytime you like, just open up Settings and choose App Icon.

### 4/5 — Miss maniy

*2023-12-03, version 2023.6.12*

I love this app because it lovely helps mi a lot thanks god the misshysa

### 5/5 — Bus 142

*2023-09-15*

Really bad the times shown sre are wrong half the time buses turn up early ads 7 mins & sometimes not even shown on the app but turn up

**Developer response:** Wish we could control the buses - sadly we don't have any influence over them, but we hope you enjoyed using the app at least! Hopefully your next journey will be better.

### 5/5 — TOP

### 1/5 — Bin it

*2026-02-05, version 2026.1.2*

Worst transport app ever. Not even bus shown going in same direction.  Time to delete it and use TfL go. Free app that is very accurate

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2025-06-07, version 2025.3.4*

Very confusing, used to be easy to use!!!

### 1/5 — Give up with this app

*2024-10-26*

The app is showing crazy routes…like take the tube to one place and from there you need perhaps take  plane and fly far away from London and make „U-turn” over the Reading an go to destination tube station. Not reliable in 100% about the buses ….

### 1/5 — Can’t be trusted

*2024-09-21, version 2024.5.1*

Thought google maps was worse than this for bus times but now this is just as unreliable…..

### 1/5 — Can’t download.

*2024-02-11, version 2024.1.5*

It won’t download onto my iPhone SE

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2023-12-08, version 2023.6.12*

I am on a bus that this app said it was coming in 11mins.

### 1/5 — Nicht offline, nicht in der U-Bahn

*2023-06-15*

Die App benötigt permanenten Internetzugang.  Zur Planung bzw. um einfach mal die Strecke WÄHREND der Fahrt zu kontrollieren, man kann es sich denken, da funktioniert nichts. 
Auch gibt es oberirdisch hin und wieder Probleme. Die Suchangaben/Ziele verschwinden, eine Neueingabe ist erforderlich oder die Ziele werden gar nicht gefunden. Vielleicht eine zu hohe Auslastung deren Server? Wie auch immer. 
Hat man dann mal alles eingegeben, gefunden und es wurde von der App „akzeptiert“, dann funktioniert es prima. 
Sinnvoll ist komplexe Verbindungen abzufotografieren (Screenshot) damit die Daten offline vorliegen.

**Developer response:** Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Wir arbeiten daran, eine Offline-Funktionalität für die U-Bahn-Karten bereitzustellen, um den Zugriff während der Fahrt zu ermöglichen. Auch untersuchen wir die Server-Auslastung, um die Suchprobleme zu beheben. Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback und Ihre Geduld. Wir hoffen, bald eine verbesserte Erfahrung bieten zu können.

### 1/5 — useless info

*2023-04-08*

Yesterday it told us bus 555 ran at 943 pm
We went to bus stop in the cold rain 
Last bus left at 722 pm 
Absolutely useless

### 1/5 — Buses disappear…

*2022-11-30, version 2022.6.1*

Buses disappearing is a regular occurrence, then the time changes from 3mins to 20mins in an instant and the 3min bus doesn’t show up. So Inrush to catch a bus and have to wait 23mins for a bus. It makes it very defunct…

### 1/5 — Difficult to get answers

*2022-09-04, version 2022.3.2*

Not helpful enough

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-01-21, version 2026.1.1*

This app is brilliant, Just wonder whether it’s on android yet?

### 5/5 — Mr

*2025-12-28, version 2025.5.6*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-09-17, version 2025.4*

It’s good and helps me get to school on time

### 5/5 — Quick and easy app

*2025-07-12*

It’s the first time I’ve used this app. I’m surprised how easy and responsive it is.

### 5/5 — App

*2025-05-10, version 2025.2.11*

Great app for all modes of transportation in uk

### 5/5 — TfL License

*2024-11-19, version 2024.5.11*

Personal Outings Or Trips With Uber & London Taxi Transport For London Go & City Mapping Checking Local Traffic And Internal Service Operations

### 5/5 — Will

*2024-11-01, version 2024.5.8*

10/200

### 5/5 — Much better than the official TfL app

*2024-08-01*

This is the best iOS app I've found for London bus times. On the Favourites page though, showing the arrival times at ALL your favourite bus stops is a complete waste of screen estate and data- you are only ever interested in ONE of your favourites at any one time, so it would be much better just to show the list of favourites and then to tap on the appropriate one to see the arrival times.

### 5/5 — Super Hilfe

*2023-10-19*

Habe die App für einen Kurzurlaub in London genutzt. Was soll ich sagen die App hat mir das Leben im „underground“ super erleichtert. Hatte die premiumversion als Testabo. Sehr empfehlenswert.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die netten Worte. Ich hoffe, Sie haben Ihre Zeit in London genossen!
