### 3/5 — .

*2026-01-28*

It works good to see when you need to check the buses accurateish. it glitches alot and freezes, also the bus lines alot are the same colour which can make it confusing. and theres no way to type in adresses so your supposed to already know buses with this app

### 5/5 — Best LTC APP

*2026-01-01*

There are a few specifically geared to London ON but this one is great. No fuss. Just the basic realtime schedules. Set it up with the routes you want. Pick the stop. Get the times. I don’t need an app to plan my trips: One should be able to do that yourself.

### 1/5 — Update your routes

*2025-10-06*

Can you update the routes to account for the large amount of stops that are out of service due to construction???

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE Colour Scheme

*2025-06-23*

I don’t why they changed the colours on the bus lines, all of the buses in one general area are now varied colours of each other. As someone who only takes the 19, 25, and 34– how am I supposed to differentiate between the slightly altered shades of brown? I have to zoom in so close and tap on the bus triangle icon in order to make sure it is the correct bus I’m tracking. I did not have this problem before when the colours were teal, yellow, and purple.

### 1/5 — Unreliable app

*2025-02-11*

99% of the time the app doesn’t work and it doesn’t show my routes or anything app is unreliable and annoying

### 1/5 — says my bus is here

*2024-12-24*

it’s not

### 5/5 — App needs fleet numbers

*2024-10-18*

App works good. But I would like the features to work on here like Transsee such as: bus fleet numbers, how full the bus is and how long it is delayed for. Please add these features in the next update. Thanks

### 1/5 — This App is Delayed

*2024-08-20*

This App is delayed by 1 minute. make sure you make it to the bus stop ahead.

### 3/5 — Bus icon size

*2024-03-29*

Bus icon too small

### 3/5 — Needs more Advancement

*2024-02-10*

I like the app, but I think It would be better If you replaced the dots for arrows for each bus stop. It’s an unchallenging way to indicate which side/direction the bus is going.
