Rip off!

How dare you charge 1$ or 1.99 or whatever the price to get the app by the way which is -functional- in the way described. I wouldn’t exactly say it has any use or makes finding the bus times on your watch any easier or faster than OneBusAway in the phone. (Which is what I would have assumed would be the main reason someone would have written an app like this for) but oh no they only want money. Because after you pay to purchase the app. Then to add more than TWO stops it says you pay more money to unlock the -get this- FOUR stop feature. You gotta be kidding me.

Response from developer

I'm sorry you feel that way about a commuter app for the Apple Watch. OneBusAway does not have Apple Watch support, nor does it have as many regions as this app, and uses more iPhone battery when it uses GPS to display maps. When I have a stop selected on my Apple Watch, each time I raise my wrist, the latest stop information shows in under a second. If this is not the case for you, then please send a message to bugs@orologics.com. The price per stop (~$0.49) on My Bus Times is less than a single transit fare these days. And you're free to repurpose any stop to whatever stop you need at the time if you want to save money.

Best Nextbus app for Apple Watch, but hard to set up

I live in San Francisco. There are a bunch of Apps that show bus arrival predictions for Muni and other transit systems. Many of them work across the country, not just my area. Several of these have apps for the Apple Watch.

This app is the only one that works well across the country on the Apple Watch and is the only one I use. It's a little complicated to set up your favorite stops, but once you do, the selection screen opens on your watch quickly. You click on a stop and details pop up quickly. A big number at the top counts down the minutes until the next bus. If the stop serves multiple lines you can touch the big number and it will switch to the next line. I leave this screen showing on the watch until the bus is visible so I can raise my wrist at any point and immediately see the big number.

If you scroll down from the big number, you get smaller text showing the details of the next few buses that will arrive at that stop from all lines.

Great app but lacks titles for stops

This is a great and simple app for knowing when your buses arrive at the stop you use the most. However it would be really nice to see a label for the bus stop as opposed to the bus stop number. Having just bus stop numbers makes me have to memorize each of the bus stops I frequent.

Response from developer

This app has always allowed you to set a title and even a subtitle for each stop. It sounds like you just left them blank. Simply edit the stop and type in whatever labels you need to make finding your stops easier.
