### 3/5 — ads at the worst timing

*2026-05-07, version 8.9.1*

i've been using this app since it first came out to check bus timings and so far it has been accurate, alhamdulillah! but what's really annoying is that the ads come at the WORST timing!

imagine being late and you only have a few seconds to decide which bus you have to take, then you open the app and then THE AD POPS UPS FIRST AND MAKES U WAIT FOR 10 SECONDS???💀💀💀

do better pls maybe put ur ads as a banner instead of a pop up or smtg

### 1/5 — This app is getting worse

*2025-06-04, version 8.8.2*

Recently live bus estimation service is down, feedback twice but no response. Like earlier on feedbacked on the same issue also no response. When I first downloaded this app the responses are very fast… now… so many ads and sometimes has to tap 3-4 times just to get a main page because of the ads. Movie cannot book, app not working. Does the developer still cares about this app?

### 3/5 — Redeemed Nestia hoody U-shape pillow

*2025-03-15, version 8.8.2*

I have redeemed a Nestia Hoody U-shape pillow on 17 Feb and have send a few email to your staff Selina to confirm the collection date and time . The last email I send to her was 11 Mar . Todate there is no reply from her. 
I have also WhatsApp to your staff Zhang Cici since 17 Feb. I also called her on the hp but she also didn’t reply me!!!
May I know when can I get my item??? Thanks!!!

### 4/5 — MRT map not updated

*2025-01-12, version 8.8.2*

Nestia has been my to go to app for managing options to use alternative transport. However, it is a pity MRT map is not updated with the latest TEL line. I would consider using the app again if the map is updated.

### 1/5 — Unreliable and doesn't work and can't give feedback

*2024-11-17, version 8.8.2*

I took bus 972M from Orchard, the app was not tracking the bus's movement even though I was on the bus and turned on the alarm. As a result I missed my bus stop by several stops and was late to my appointment and had to arrange for someone to come pick me up. This app is non-functional and not user friendly at all. Would not recommend to anyone. I can't even give my feedback on the app because the fields don't allow me to key in my email and contact number.

### 4/5 — Mrt Lines Not Updated

*2024-11-13, version 8.8.2*

Have been using this app for few yrs. Realise the mrt lines are not up to date, esp for TEL. Please update the version soon & also the occasion bug when screen went black after ad. Thks

### 1/5 — Its not accurate

*2024-05-06, version 8.8.1*

This app has so many ads and everytime I skip it theres always a black screen and a small x on top of the screen. When I press on the x it doesn't help me skip instead is stuck there and I have to reopen the app again.
The other thing is that the time for the buses is always not accurate.

### 1/5 — So many forms

*2023-11-30, version 8.7.1*

We were caught off guard of sudden rain outside MRT starion then we saw this umbrella rental service. Signed up and taught we could get umbrella right away already but NO, they asked Singpass verification including data that they need that’s so questionable: “Registered address”. After that still cannot use because there’s no Apple Pay. You think Apple users would have their card memorized right on the spot? Who the hell not use Apple Pay now? We ultimately chose to run through the rain instead. 

PS I never do reviews for how many years now but this matter needs to be put out there.

### 3/5 — Annoying adds

*2023-09-02, version 8.7.1*

The app itself is ok but what gets on my nerves is sometimes when we open the app, there is always adds that I can’t close, making me have to quit and open multiple times. Its very annoying! Please make some changes to those adds that don’t close at all

### 2/5 — Annoying to use

*2023-08-03, version 8.7.1*

This app is so full of advertisements that it’s impossible to properly use without having to constantly wait. Opening up the app starts an ad that you have to click through several buttons to exit which makes checking bus timings so tedious.
