### 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

### 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.

### 3/5 — Useful but not visually clear where the buses are

*2024-01-17*

Hello, overall a good app, a could of points:
1) The bus arrow location on the map is the same colour as the line and stops; very often the arrow gets hidden underneath other graphics.
> Suggestion: make bus location arrow either larger, a different colour, or figure out a way to follow any bus.
2) Hovering over the bus does not give the same good info as online, instead you select a desired bus stop.
> Match website as much as feasible.
3) Certain bus routes on map and website do not match, only small details but still as a bus user, I would entrust the app to be correct.

Remember that people are paying for this if they wish to remove ads. At present I cannot warrant paying even a small amount for something slightly disfunctional.

Thanks.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-08-12*

Usually runs 8/10

### 2/5 — Would be great if it worked

*2023-07-05, version 2.6.6*

The app is not working properly, not showing bus stops or times. It’s just a map with buses floating around but no way to tell when they are going to be somewhere so it’s basically useless this way. It’s fully updated on my phone so that’s not the issue.

### 1/5 — bugy

*2023-07-03, version 2.6.6*

99% of times with bugs

### 2/5 — Keeps moving to center of map when I try to zoom in elsewhere

*2023-04-22, version 2.6.6*

Every time I zoom in and tap on a bus stop the map recenters itself in the middle of the city after a few seconds.

### 1/5 — Delays

*2023-03-24, version 2.6.6*

Need to show delay routes, lazy app development.

### 1/5 — Not even worth a star

*2023-03-22, version 2.6.6*

This app will never tell you the correct route. They always change their route due to construction or something meanwhile this app is only showing you that their on their actual route so you cant even tell if something has been changed of not

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2023-03-13, version 2.6.6*

This app has been very inconsistent every since I downloaded it. Today I missed my exam because the app showed that my bus was coming in 7 minutes while I was at the bus stop. Time goes by and I check the app agaib and it shows the bus has already passed me????? So as I’m walking back home the bus ACTUALLY drives by me. Horrible app I do not trust it and don’t recommend to anyone.

### 1/5 — Why?

*2023-03-07, version 2.6.6*

Why have a bus app that requires my GPS location if it isn’t gonna tell me what bus I will need to take from my location to X location?   It should be assumed by the developer that the app user doesn’t know he bus routes already.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2023-02-14, version 2.6.6*

Horrible app

### 1/5 — LTS is the worst

*2022-12-02, version 2.6.5*

Buses in London Transit are often delayed or sometimes canceled. You may have to wait more than 40 minutes on the road. It's not unusual, and people in this city just seem to accept it, but it's the worst bus company I've ever had. This application is not aware of any delays or cancellations of buses. Whose fault do you think it is, lazy bus companies or stupid apps?

### 1/5 — Very Inaccurate

*2022-11-28, version 2.6.5*

The bus times on this app fluctuate way too much. According to the app, my next bus was supposed to arrive at 6:02, but then when I checked again a few minutes later the bus has already arrived at 5:47. I understand being off by a couple minutes, but 15? This isn’t the first time this has happened to me either. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — fix your app

*2022-10-27, version 2.6.5*

so many issues i cant even list them all. if you live around some construction or detours good luck getting anywhere on time or even finding a bus stop. the bus times aren't accurate whatsoever and state they are coming but never do. the system itself is at fault for most of this as they never let us know when they will close down stops and open new temporary ones. thank you for making me late to work all the time and giving me no way of transportation to school! i really appreciate it

### 3/5 — London Transit

*2022-09-28, version 2.6.4*

Average level of accuracy but helpful

### 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

### 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.

### 1/5 — Good app

*2024-01-10*

It’s handy but never accurate. It tells you bus is still at commissioners in Palm Mills where I live, but I seen it go by so the GPS on it’s a little slow.

### 1/5 — This app sucks

*2023-11-06*

It’s constantly glitching, I’ve thought I’ve missed the bus multiple times because it says the bus is further along the route than it is, and now it’s not even showing the different buses

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2023-09-14*

Last year this app was super helpful . Now it just is a glitchy mess. Kinda a digital representation of London’s downhill spiral. No longer worth downloading, just use google maps

### 1/5 — Ok I’m done

*2023-08-27*

Listen to this LT so I was waiting for the bus and the bus came It didn’t even stop and guess what I had to wait 15 more minutes till the bus arrived

### 1/5 — wrong way

*2023-08-13*

this app took me in the opposite direction of my given address that i submitted. it is flawed and broken. don’t download if you value your phone storage and possibly your time. i am now late. sick and twisted.

### 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.

### 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

### 5/5 — An excellent useful app

*2022-06-10, version 2.6.4*

For the most part I’m very pleased, although as a senior it’s a little difficult for me to read

### 5/5 — Suggestions for new routes

*2020-02-25, version 2.6.2*

I want to suggest for start a new route from roundabout sunnygdell to Oxford on wonderland road. We have to take long rout for connections to western university

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2019-11-07, version 2.6.2*

Thank you for making my traveling easier <3

### 5/5 — App need to fix 'no gps data available' error

*2018-02-17*

It's a good app but since last 2 wks, I get the error message despite being connected to net - 'no gps data available' error. Please fix this asap.

**Developer response:** Hi there, the LTC took down their website this weekend to upgrade their system.
(You can check http://ltconline.ca for their status.)

I will push out an update as soon as possible after their new system comes online.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

Update: The update is available now. Please check the App Store to update.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2012-09-25*

I always used to go on the website on my phone to use web watch but now I can just use the app which is so much easier and better!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-09-05*

Very useful!!

### 4/5 — Love it but add detours

*2023-04-13, version 2.6.6*

I like so much this app despite the bugs is very useful. I would love too if you could add detours updates

### 4/5 — Not showing bus location and keeps saying not connected when I am

*2020-10-23, version 2.6.3*

I woke up to day and got ready for work and went on the app and it wasn’t working. I love the app it’s very convenient but I was almost late for work because it wouldn’t update times
