Katastrophe

Reinste Katastrophe, habe 10€ verschenkt. Busse fahren nicht, von den Bushaltestellen an denen sie angezeigt werden, oder fahren überhaupt nicht. Busse die in die richtige Richtung fahren werden nicht angezeigt. Die Uhrzeiten stimmen teilweise nicht.
Sprecht locals an, oder guckt über die leider auch sehr komplizierte, siga Internetseite.

Useless unless you pay

As a tourist, not much use without the map option, which is v part of the Pro package.

Not intuitive

We have been using the paid-for version. In principle a good idea but some of the buses don't exist. Some buses that don't exist suddenly appear. None of. Madeira's buses run to time. This app has to be used in conjunction with Google maps, on its own it is incomplete, and the same goes for Google maps on Madeira. It is not very intuitive to use, even after using it frequently for a week it still has a very clunky feel. As a beta version app it has potential. As a finished version it doesn’t.

Awful

Unusable without paying for mapping. Impossible to work out easiest/best route. Bus times given unreliable.

Response from developer

Sorry the app frustrated you. Two honest notes: it shows the operators' official scheduled times, not live tracking — so a bus running late won't be reflected in the app. And routes and timetables are free to browse; the map view is the paid extra. If you remember which journey you were trying to work out, I'd like to check it: support@madeirabus.com. — Beatriz, Madeira Bus

Great but could be better

I really enjoy the UI of the app and the map part does make the a lot easier to use. Given that the app uses official schedules provided by the bus companies i am aware that the dev has no control over late or early buses so they won’t be able to display it a bus is early or late in the app. However, i would like it if there was an option to mark a bus as early or late in the app and then the app could add a marker under the bus time such as “Users have marked this bus as early/late” so users would have more of an idea on where their bus is. I would also like if they could you the users location to see if they are on a bus to create a better eta on a buses arrival just like how google maps does. Other than that i really enjoy the app.

Thank you — this is exactly the kind of feedback that helps. You're right that the app works from the operators' official schedules, so it can't show a bus running early or late today. Both of your ideas — rider-reported early/late markers and smarter arrival estimates — are thoughtful, and I've noted them.

Bodenlos

Bodenlos wie schlecht die app ist . Mit kostenloser Version quasi nicht nutzbar

Geht gar nicht

Nach dem „Update“ sind Haltestellen und Linien hinter einer Bezahlschranke verschwunden. Für eine bisher richtig schlecht bewertete App soll ich 5,99€ bezahlen und die Katze im Sack kaufen ? Vielleicht ist sie immer noch schlecht ? So geht das nicht . Gelöscht .

Useless

Glad I didn’t pay for the full version. Gave up after half an hour trying to find a single bus time.

Information is out of date

Information on buses between Funchal and Santa Cruz is completely wrong. It should be 702 bus, there is no such bus as 113.

Schedule is clear as mud.

If there is a way to tell what times the airport bus stops at Casino Madeira on the way to the airport, I can’t find it.

No actual buses here

Checked twice - both times had to hitchhike. Do not rely on this app

Response from developer

Hi, really sorry you were left stranded, that's exactly the experience we're trying to prevent. Could you share which route/stop this was? Some regional routes (Rodoeste, SAM) aren't fully covered yet, and if the app showed a bus that didn't come, I want to fix that data. You can reach me at support@madeirabus.com. I'd like to correct any issues in the app.

Dankeschön …

… für diese wirklich hilfreiche App.
