Reliable for buses

I use this regularly to time my departures and catch the bus. It’s been very accurate, in my experience, both for pick up time and location of the bus.

Why after 1 decade plus. It’s a necessity to find a more reliable option.

But when at Watertown station. Even by the installed station. Totally false information. You can never trust your phone. Because you will be always be getting screwed. I thought I saw on the MBTA go Live. Something new? Absolutely not. I
A friend had her app. That actually shows where the bus is. But now I need to find another app. Because going with the original app. You can’t trust.

Bad

This app constantly lies, it lies more than it tells the truth, I’ve had tens if not hundreds of instances of busses not existing even though it says on the app. Terrible app

Bad data

App is telling me the last train in is at 8:27am and the MBTA website shows many more trains running. If I can't trust the train schedule from this app, what's the point?

App.

This app was unhelpful the whole reason I got it was to see when to leave my house to get to the train with minimal waiting time. But the search is almost impossible to see when it will get to a certain station. Even when you do the predictions for when my train will come are ALWAYS unavailable/ not informative. This app is not clear or helpful making traveling SOO much more difficult when it should make it easier. Please fix this app so need it for travel and stuff.
