No longer current?

Doesn’t seem to work with TCATs routes anymore.

Useless

This is not the app I was looking for. I wanted something that would show me bus routes and where the bus is on the route. That’s not what this app does. So I tried to use it as intended and still found it to be worthless. I was standing at the TCAT 82 bus stop at East Hill Plaza wanting to ride to Statler Hall. First it told me to walk all the way up to CISER to pick up the bus even though I was already standing at the 82 stop. Then it told me to get off at Humphreys Service Building and walk the rest of the way even though the 82 bus stops directly in front of Statler Hall. I’m glad I was already familiar with the route and just wanted to know when the next bus was coming or I would have done a lot of walking for nothing. I’m deleting this app just as fast as I downloaded it.

Worked great

Like all things made by students…they stop working. This was great and had a lot of promise but seemingly overnight stopped working when a student graduated leaving a popular app unusable. I’ll come back and change my review when something changes with this. Until I stand by it. It’s a dead app and there are no bus routes.
