Way better than the RTS app

Shoutout my goat Jonathan

Thank God this alternative exists

I’m a UF student who has struggled using the normal RTS bus app for the UF campus and surrounding area. I’m thankful I found this app after reading the local paper the alligator. 5/5 stars, only complaint is that I had to type in NaviGator then specify RTS to find it in the App Store. The Seo could be improved a bit but I’m sure that it’s difficult.

Response from developer

So happy you’re enjoying NaviGator! Unfortunately it is difficult to easily boost search rankings as they are largely based on how many users an app has, but I am doing what I can to make it as searchable as possible. Thanks again for your support!

Phenomenal

Your student who produced this app really did a phenomenal implementation. Frankly, this is even better than the old Rider and TransLoc apps.

Response from developer

Thank you for your support!

Dip in quality

Used this app with not much issue for the past year, but the times for bus route 33 now are very inaccurate.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review! Unfortunately, NaviGator is only as accurate as the data provided by RTS. I’d recommend reaching out to RTS themselves if you have concerns about the accuracy of their data. If you have any complaints specific to NaviGator itself, please reach out to me at jw@jonathanwuki.me.

Horrible

9/10 will give inaccurate bus schedules

So much better than RTS

Wow, I can’t believe I’m only now finding out that there is an alternative to RTS. RTS hasn’t been updated in 2 years, yet this app received bug fixes constantly. Thank you so much for providing a usable transportation app for UF students and Gainesville residents. I just started using it today, and I already love how much easier the interface and efficiency of it is. Thank you thank you thank you!

SUCH AN AMAZING APPLICATION

10/10 app, the best bus app I’ve ever used. The UI is very intuitive and easy to use. Jonathan Wukitsch made a great app!

Response from developer

Thank you for your support!

Amazing

This app is really amazing, more intuitive than the RTS app. 1 thing, is there a plan to add widgets for this app?

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! Widgets are on the roadmap for sure — keep an eye out for updates in the near future!

THE GOAT

thats why hes the goat. THE GOAT!!!

THE BEST app for city bus service in Gainesville

This app is far superior to any other bus service apps for Gainesville,Florida, including the RTS bus service’s own app. This app does not lag, shows bus locations accurately in real time…it’s perfect for its purpose, with no extra junk to slow it down.

Response from developer

Thank you for your support!

Awesome

Recommended by a friend and fall in love using it. Will share in the Gator community and friends in need of RTS services

Response from developer

Thank you for your support!

MUST HAVE at UF

NaviGator is a fantastic app that puts the official RTS bus tracker to shame. In fact, this app puts any transit app I’ve used to shame. You MUST have this app if you ride the bus in Gainesville.

Response from developer

Thank you for your support!

Great!

I just downloaded it & it’s so much more user friendly than “GNV RideRTS”!

Response from developer

Thank you for your support!

Amazing

The bar is on the floor, but I’ve used the app for a week and it hasn’t crashed once. I really like the map, it’s nice and clear, and I like being able to “favorite” stops since my schedule is pretty consistent. I love this app!!

Response from developer

Thank you for your support!

Improvements needed

Such an amazing app. Wish its feed was independent not from the actual RTS. Also, customization of the notification like how many minutes before notifying would be great.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, there’s no other feed for bus data aside from the one provided by RTS, so I have to use that one. The ability to customize notification timings is coming in an update soon though!

much better than the normal rts app

yummy

SUPERIOR

Used the RTS app for two years and it sucked- stop timing was always off and it would glitch often. Used NaviGator for 5 months now and the difference is insane! Hasn’t broken on me once and stop times have always been accurate to a minute or less. I recommend this app for all Gainesville bus users, especially Gators!

NaviGator

It is OK, but could be so much better if more reliable

Much better than the RTS app

It has a much better UI and UX than the RTS original app.
You can select bus stops and see the bus ETAs.

Much better than any other RTS app

Actually works!
