### 1/5 — Bill

*2026-08-15, version 4.1.1*

Not intuitive to use. The real time tracking should be available on main page and show all busses in the area.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-07-25, version 4.1.1*

This app does not work, the bus tracking is terrible, and it is nearly Impossible to navigate

### 1/5 — Seems locked to the about screen?

*2026-07-06, version 4.1.0*

After completing a fresh install, the app goes straight to about screen when opened and you cannot seem to navigate away from there?

### 1/5 — Gave up

*2026-06-12, version 4.0.4*

Just too difficult to navigate and use. This app is a terrible waste of time to try to figure out. Please get someone who actually uses buses - as well as non-familiar routes to test it and help fix.

### 3/5 — Great idea

*2026-05-28, version 4.0.4*

I love the idea for the app, in particular the live updates. But it doesn’t signpost how to use it and require some trail and error to find the live updates.

### 1/5 — Worst piece of garbage ever made

*2026-03-13, version 4.0.4*

The incompetence of the metro tas tech team is baffling. No live tracking, routes disappearing when buses are late, worst phone support you’ll ever encounter. I don’t know who runs metro tas but they should be fired along with the rest of their incompetent management.

### 3/5 — Needs improvements

*2026-02-26, version 4.0.4*

It’s not an easy app to plan a route. Would be great if it was like the TransPerth app.

### 1/5 — Doesn't show balance. Other display problems.

*2025-12-12, version 4.0.4*

This app has very limited utility when it doesn't show balance and any text below the fold is completely blanked out. Development failure.

### 1/5 — Absolutely USELESS

*2025-11-16, version 4.0.4*

Tried to plan a Hobart trip in public transport. Regardless of what you put into trip planner, it defaults to Tasmanian Transport Museum.
Don’t waste your time downloading.

### 1/5 — Ineffective live status

*2025-06-12, version 4.0.3*

The “live” status of buses does not update effectively and cannot be trusted on the app. It shouldn’t be on there if it’s not in real time
