Best Bus App Ever

This app is the only reason I get to class on time. It is so sooo much better than anything RTS created. Absolutely love it. It will also just plan your trips for you.

Used to be great, but now inaccurate

This app used to be awesome—way better than the original RTS app. However, for the last few weeks it’s been completely inaccurate for my route, 13. Maybe it’s still good for the other routes, I don’t know, but it’s caused me to miss busses or sit outside waiting for a bus that’s 20 minutes away because it said it was nearby. Unfortunate because this app used to be so great. I know the dev says all the data comes from RTS, but the RTS app has been accurate where this one hasn’t.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear about the inaccuracy. As you know, NaviGator strictly uses the data provided by RTS and UF TAPS, and I have no control over that data. If you’re able to forward a screenshot of the RTS app compared to NaviGator to me at jw@jonathanwuki.me so I can see the discrepancy, that would be great! Thanks.
