### 5/5 — I am obscurely pleased

*2026-05-21, version #6.170.0.2807232*

that the always-good Traveline SW has taken over the UK to become the national PTI app.  Today Devon, tomorrow the world.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-12-15, version 6.133.0.2408166*

Previous app was 100 times better. Why fix something that is not broken?

### 5/5 — Works everywhere in the UK

*2025-11-19, version 6.133.0.2408166*

This is a really useful app if you want to plan journeys by public transport anywhere in the UK.

I was nervous about the bit 2025 upgrade (v6 may be) which made it look very different, but it is perhaps even better

### 1/5 — App changed

*2025-11-13, version 6.133.0.2408166*

Certainly s retrograde step, not as good as previous version.

### 5/5 — Bad

*2025-08-21, version 5.163*

Times shown are never correct and quite often the buses mentioned don't even exist!

### 1/5 — Wrong times, makes up buses

*2025-03-23, version 5.163*

It’s a roll of the dice if this app displays the right time for the bus or not, have missed several buses because it said they were later than they actually were. Sometimes it just makes up buses that don’t even exist.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-10-08, version 5.33*

I have used this app several time and have been pleased. However, today we hiked from Lynton to Combe Martin and planned to get the 15:40 Exmoor Coaster back to Lynton. However this bus stopped running at the end of September but the app did not recheck this! We ended up having to pay £50 for a taxi. So you cannot rely on this app.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-04-17, version 5.33*

The most useless and frustrating app you will ever see I now need a anger management app lol

### 1/5 — Should be removed

*2023-01-06, version 5.33*

The app should be removed because it’s no longer up to date gives you information for out of date routes.

### 1/5 — Abysmal.

*2022-07-31, version 5.33*

There have been great strides in UK public transport provision but information support is essential..and it isn’t this App. A real shame.
