### 4/5 — Choosing Routes and magnifying the letters

*2023-12-11*

It is easy to find the route l want to use, though mentioning the route end such as Clarendon for the last stop and other buses routes final destinations would be like the bus notices over the windshield.  But that is a small point.  

What really makes it hard to use for me is that I can’t increase the size of the lettering.  I am new to the iPhone so I don’t know if I am not using it right.  Whichever, when standing at dark curb in the rain it would be great if I could enlarge the letters.

  You know, it just occurred to me that it would be nice if it would announce the bus approach at around 5 minutes away.  And maybe it would be good for blind people if you don’t already have a function for that.

It is great that it is so straightforward to use.

### 4/5 — Reliable and Consistent

*2023-10-10, version 1.1.5*

As a long time MBTA Rider I have had a need for a convenient and accurate route service.

Having had a smart phone going back to 2010 when the early models were released, gave me a chance to use many similar apps.

This one stands out compared to the other dozen or so that I’ve installed and used through the years.  Thank you!

### 1/5 — Wrong schedule.

*2024-10-07, version 1.1.5*

The schedule show different time that the live stream. I wait 50 min the next bus. Do not trust the schedule time.

No real time data most of the time.

### 1/5 — The 1453 Orange Line rudeness

*2023-12-05, version 1.1.5*

The 1453 Orange Line train refused to open the door for me even though I was on the platform waiting to get in at the Stonybroook station

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-11-19, version 1.1.5*

The “T” is so bad that it’s not worth rating.

### 1/5 — Bus 1

*2023-05-11, version 1.1.5*

Horrible letting all the homeless and drug addicted ride for free! Felt threatened snd frightened! This is not what a top city does! Clean it up MBTA!

*2023-03-26, version 1.1.5*

Seagull

### 1/5 — Bad!You need to fix this.

*2022-03-28, version 1.1.5*

I cannot see at what time the busses are coming, all the time it’s said “No coming service” or it’s doesn’t shows anything.

### 1/5 — Bus 15  1774

NEVER PICKED UP RIDERS AT RUGGLES FOR 11:25 AND LEFT STATION WITH EMPTY BUS: date 6/15/21 11:34 AM

### 1/5 — Time clock

*2021-05-18, version 1.1.2*

Need the setting change from army clock regular clock and remove some the rides

### 4/5 — Schedule Look-ahead

*2026-01-03, version 1.1.5*

We need the ability to see the schedule for a day other than “today.”  On a Friday I want to plan for the weekend.

### 5/5 — Improved service

*2025-11-30, version 1.1.5*

I take the Red and green lines as well as Silver line 4 or 5. Very reliable and frequent.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-04-29, version 1.1.5*

Great

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-23, version 1.1.5*

Almost always accurate and you can save your most commonly used stops on a home page. Search the stop then hit “heart”

### 5/5 — Best MBTA app I have tried

*2023-09-03, version 1.1.5*

Simple, no ads/payment required, and very informative. The bad reviews on here seem to be mostly complaints about the MBTA, which is not affiliated with the app.
It didn’t see a way to look at the bus routes on a map on the app but I couldn’t do this on other apps I tried either.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-06-21, version 1.1.5*

Intuitive and very easy to use and figure out.

### 5/5 — Rider

*2023-03-22, version 1.1.5*

I think for all the years, the T has been a driving source of good transportation for us all, we should be a little more understanding, and maybe try to share some good suggestion on how we can support them.

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2023-03-22, version 1.1.5*

Thanks for providing simple and easy to use and accurate info.  I find the countdown clocks to be accurate.  I work for the T and will share this app with colleagues.

### 5/5 — Rider

*2022-11-04, version 1.1.5*

I think for all the years, the T has been a driving source of good transportation for us all, we should be a little more understanding, and maybe try to share some good suggestion on how we can support them.

### 5/5 — Simple and clean

Does what it is supposed to do. Nice!
