## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-07-25*

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

**Developer response:** 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

### 1/5 — Schlecht

*2026-07-01*

Kann ich nicht empfehlen… nicht Benutzerfreubdlich

### 1/5 — Bodenlos

*2026-05-26*

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

### 1/5 — Geht gar nicht

*2026-05-26*

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 .

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-22*

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

### 1/5 — Information is out of date

*2026-05-04*

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

### 1/5 — Schedule is clear as mud.

*2026-05-02*

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.

### 1/5 — No actual buses here

*2026-04-01*

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

**Developer response:** 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.

### 4/5 — Great but could be better

*2026-07-13*

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.

**Developer response:** 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. If you ever want to share more: support@madeirabus.com. — Beatriz, Madeira Bus

### 5/5 — Dankeschön …

*2026-01-29*

… für diese wirklich hilfreiche App.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine 5-Sterne-Bewertung! Es freut mich, dass dir die App hilft. Ich arbeite kontinuierlich an Verbesserungen und behebe derzeit einige Probleme, um die App noch besser zu machen.
