### 1/5 — Plan my route

*2022-11-14, version 1.0.2*

It’s basically saying my best option to get from Inglewood to the college is walking halfway

### 1/5 — Crap.

*2022-11-07, version 1.0.2*

The find a stop is useless if you just moved to red deer and don’t know the bus stop numbers

### 1/5 — doesn't work

*2022-09-13, version 1.0.2*

it doesn't even open 80% of the time, people rely on this to get to work. fix it.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2022-02-27, version 1.0.2*

Sometimes it won’t open, sometimes the tracking on the busses is turned off so you think you missed the bus. Never gets updated routes for Sundays and holidays. Makes sense for a government ran system.

### 1/5 — Simply does not work.

*2022-02-13, version 1.0.2*

Like.. at all.

### 1/5 — Barely helpful, barely loads

*2021-10-23, version 1.0.2*

The app takes a while to update, making it so it doesn’t actually do much to help. Additionally, it only seems to actually get past the loading screen once or twice a day. Would be nice to have an option on planning tripe for when you want to arrive by. Better to just use google maps or the site, except for to check the bus schedule, which is one of the functions on this app that does work somewhat well.

### 1/5 — This app Sucks. In the nicest way possible.

*2021-06-23, version 1.0.2*

Doesn’t ever open….. but if it does then it’s extremely inaccurate.

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2021-02-03, version 1.0.2*

I always make sure to go 10 minutes before the bus says, but lately even when I go early I’ll miss the bus. The map will update suddenly and tel me that the bus has already passed AND is downtown. At this point just use the website

### 1/5 — Never loads

*2020-09-23, version 1.0.2*

I can look at the app twice a day if that because even when I’m home on WiFi with full bars it won’t load.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worst app to exist

*2026-01-29, version 1.0.2*

This app doesnt load no matter what

### 1/5 — Worst Transit App to Exist

*2026-01-07, version 1.0.2*

The app barely functions. I wouldn’t call it an app so much as a redirect to a website that also barely functions. You’re better off just using Google Maps.

### 1/5 — App never loads

*2025-09-04, version 1.0.2*

When ever m trying to load the app when im in need of it lt never opens. Always says slow server.

### 1/5 — Constantly needs re downloaded

*2024-03-16, version 1.0.2*

Works for about 5 mins then won’t connect to the server. Need to delete it then redownload it to pan your trip, screen shot and do the same again and again. Easy layout and accurate schedule just a pain to redownload everytime.

### 1/5 — just trash

*2024-03-09, version 1.0.2*

its good for when it works but unfortunately thats never. you can never actually get the app to load when you need it to

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2023-11-15, version 1.0.2*

Garbage app that doesn’t load/provide ANY information. Screw you red deer for bringing this waste of space into existence

### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-10-02, version 1.0.2*

Should quit advertising an app that doesn’t work. 
Maybe 1 out of every 50 attempts does it actually open. Complete trash.

### 1/5 — awful

*2023-09-11, version 1.0.2*

doesn’t load more than half of the time. Extremely difficult if you’re new to the transit system and don’t know the routes by eye.

### 1/5 — Never loads

*2023-07-09, version 1.0.2*

I’d give it no stars if I could. Very difficult to rely on this when you can never get it to load.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-05-15, version 1.0.2*

My rating keeps being deleted but title says it all. Tax dollars “hard at work” with whoever’s in charge of keeping this app updated.

## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-02-03, version 1.0*

Overall a great app but I wish it could send text alerts letting you know when to leave and when the next bus is for bus stop prediction alerts

### 4/5 — Good when working

*2020-09-15, version 1.0.2*

When it works, it's great but lately it keeps having a loading error.

### 4/5 — GPS

*2020-02-05, version 1.0*

The Global Positioning System could run a little faster as it showed it was still at the other stop by the time it got to mine

### 4/5 — Bus time

*2020-02-05, version 1.0*

Slow GPS

### 3/5 — Track

*2025-07-24, version 1.0.2*

You should include in the app a part that you (the card holder) can track how many rides you have left on your ticket pass so it’s easier for us to see if we have to stop in to refill our cards.

### 3/5 — Connection issues

*2024-10-19, version 1.0.2*

I highly suggest removing the saved trip part of the app to have it work as intended since each time you put in a trip and close the app and try to pull it up again later you are met with “The server is slow to respond or you may hava a weak connection. Please retry.” Rendering it useless and having to use the website.

### 3/5 — When it works it works.. when it doesn’t.. it really doesn’t

*2020-12-08, version 1.0.2*

When it works it’s fantastic, but it seems every time I need to catch the bus over the past month it doesn’t load and pops up an error..

### 2/5 — Not bad, needs work

*2020-11-12, version 1.0.2*

Really awful in some ways - have to backspace every letter when switching locations, difficult to scroll in and out on maps, and can’t set a time when you want to leave if planning a trip for later.
That being said, when you finally fight through the messy screen, it’s accurate, so there’s that.
Needs to be cleaned up.
