### 2/5 — Shows the bus in action but not the times

*2018-09-10, version 2.01.03*

Why doesn't this app shows pick up times at the stops? You just have to generally gauge where the bus arrow is and try to anticipate its arrival. You can’t use this app to plan your route. Also the title of the routes should show general area descriptions, not just a colour of the line. That means nothing to someone trying to use this app to travel.

### 1/5 — Slow

*2015-10-26, version 2.01.03*

The blue&gold tracker rarely works, and when it does the user has to reload the app multiple times.

### 2/5 — Glitches and bugs

*2015-10-12, version 2.01.03*

This app is great when it is actually working. 50% of the time it doesn't work at all. When it is online, the bus tracking feature is slow to respond and update at times. Add that to the fact that the buses are rarely on schedule and you get a pretty craptastic experience.

### 1/5 — Not working as advertised

*2014-09-25, version 1.0.1*

Automatically goes to the route viewer and doesn’t allow me to view the live tracking...

### 1/5 — Terrible tracker

*2026-01-16, version 2.01.03*

This tracker is so inaccurate. It glitches all the time and makes me miss my buss often.

### 1/5 — For the love of god PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP

*2025-12-22, version 2.01.03*

It just doesn’t work and it hasn’t been updated in 10 years

### 1/5 — Never works

*2023-11-11, version 2.01.03*

It literally never works, it never shows where the buses are.

### 1/5 — Last update was 8 years old

*2023-11-10, version 2.01.03*

Plz update the application. It was updated 8 years back

### 1/5 — Bus route wasn’t correct

*2023-10-25, version 2.01.03*

Waited half an hour for a bus that when arrived, announced he wasn’t going to where the bus route said. Wasted my time

### 1/5 — Poorly made

*2022-11-18, version 2.01.03*

Let’s not sugarcoat this, this app is terrible. Not only do the busses not update location, but half the time it’s not even the same bus! That’s if it shows up at all in the app. It’s literally useless so I just get to the stop at the right time and wait.

### 1/5 — Needs updated

*2022-09-13, version 2.01.03*

Barely works

### 1/5 — No longer functional?

*2022-01-27, version 2.01.03*

Buses do not appear on routes. iPhone X.

### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2022-01-25, version 2.01.03*

App never seems to display the bus at any location. Needs an update

### 1/5 — Total garbage

*2018-12-17, version 2.01.03*

This app is basically useless. More often than not, it fails to show the actual location of the bus. The user interface is terrible and uninformative. 

Since the busses never run on time, you just have to go to the stop and pray that one will come sometime soon.

### 5/5 — MLTA Certified App

*2015-03-02, version 1.0.25*

This is the only app that the Authority has officially developed and with the live tracking data nothing beats it.  I know where the bus is always.

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-02-24, version 1.0.24*

Great since you added the ability to see my location and the bus locations at the same time.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-02-18, version 1.0.23*

This is an awesome app. I will use it almost daily. It's better than constantly checking Twitter.

### 4/5 — Solid app, sometimes slow to update

*2015-10-17, version 2.01.03*

I will say that this app is very useful to have, but sometimes the only way to have the bus location update quickly is to switch your location on and off, or switch routes and come back. Other than that, it's been very handy in letting me time when I need to get to a stop. I think the only other feature this app could use is a display of the routes' schedules.

### 4/5 — Bus schedules: days and times

*2015-09-06, version 2.01.02*

I really like this app. However, you can improve it by adding a way to see what the bus schedules are through the app.

### 3/5 — Usefulness

*2023-09-22, version 2.01.03*

This app would be much more useful if the buses were online. In the afternoon I can usually see the buses, but this morning, gold and northern aren’t showing up.

### 2/5 — Unreliable yet necessary

*2022-10-05, version 2.01.03*

Little chance the correct bus will show up and give an accurate location when choosing a route. When it is working it’s one of the best ways to travel but lately this hasn’t been the case. However, It is a must have when choosing not to commute by car.

### 2/5 — Inconsistent

*2022-08-25, version 2.01.03*

The app works around 30% of the time for route 30 west run. You cannot rely on it at all. Also it would be easy to add features such as estimated arrival time, delay notifications, etc. but no such features are present. When it does work it’s nice to have.

### 2/5 — Needs an update ASAP

*2021-09-30, version 2.01.03*

The app is so glitchy the buses don’t even show up on the map sometimes so you won’t know if it’s running or not or where it is, or it’ll be stuck in one spot no matter how long you wait. It is also very slow. Please update it, it’s been so long.

### 2/5 — Update’s needed

*2018-10-02, version 2.01.03*

I’ve been using the app for specifically Gold line 6. It’s map is changed somehow. I think an update is needed after 2 yrs.
