### 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

### 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.

### 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

### 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.

### 2/5 — Can’t click off ads when they are finished

*2023-07-24, version 8.6.0*

Hi team could you fix this issue whereby usually when we open the app there would be ads coming in. But once they are finished there would be a cross on the top right corner, I can’t seem to click on the cross and my screen just stays black with the cross. After constantly clicking on the cross it doesn’t do anything, and it’s not my phones problem as well bc other people are also experiencing the same issue. Pls fix this as its quite annoying that I have to keep refreshing the app multiple times until I can finally open the app properly

### 2/5 — The ads bug

*2023-07-19, version 8.6.0*

Recently the pop-up ads can’t close… even when you clicked the cross..there’s no any reaction! 
That means you won’t be able to check the bus, movie ticket whatever. 
It only shows you a “black screen” without further movement….

### 2/5 — The new bus/mrt information is confusing

*2023-06-08, version 8.5.0*

I used them for many years for bus timing. Recently,they changed the platform format and  it is horrible. The bus numbers did not stand out at all. I guess the developer and approver never had to use a bus guide for transport. Hopefully they could revert back to the old format.

### 4/5 — Jackpot and lucky draw wheel is rigged

*2021-06-15, version 7.0.0*

I’ve been using Nestia for a while now, it’s nice to read the news around the world while working. Then there is the points, I’ve gotten “Thank you” on both the Jackpot and Lucky draw wheel 6 times in 2 days, all 3 chances in a row is just Thank you.

### 1/5 — AD and no thanks

*2020-08-21, version 6.3.0*

Understand that this is a free app and you need ad to be profitable. But an AD every time I open the app and the length is 20-30 secs .... seriously!??

Not recommended, I believe there are plenty other free apps that provide the same services as yours. Or at least their AD don’t happen so often and we can choose to cancel after a much shorter time.

### 1/5 — Useful APP, but hate the audio advertisement recently added while launch the APP

*2020-08-13, version 6.1.0*

It’s quite annoying especially even My phone was in silent mood all time, the audio from adv still playing automatically, and u cannot use the APP until u finish watching the adv, if u close the APP and relaunch, the ADV will be always there again and again, very bad experience and hard selling!!

Therefore, I will stop use this APP for awhile until it fix the launch experience, don’t want to let the audio scare ppl nearby especially at night!!!!!!!!!!

### 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?

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Can't click off the ads when they are finished!

*2023-08-01, version 8.7.0*

Hi team could you fix this issue whereby usually when we open the app there would be ads coming in. But once they are finished there would be a cross on the top right corner, I can't seem to click on the cross and my screen just stays black with the cross.

Pls fix this as its quite annoying that I have to keep refreshing the app multiple times until I can finally open the app properly

### 1/5 — Too many ads and ads hangs

*2023-07-10*

Too many ads!! I want to be able to quickly see the bus timings and the ads come up!! And the close buttons for the ads cannot be closed, I have to restart the app three times to fix this bug every time!! Worst app, do not download

### 1/5 — Stuck on the ads page

*2022-12-22, version 8.2.1*

Was a great app, never bothered by the ads. However recently, the “X” button on the ads don’t seem to work, and I am stuck on the ad page for ages (the ad doesn’t even end after some time, it just keeps flashing CLICK HERE TO DO SURVEY. I have to keep quitting and reopening the app till it changes to an ad where the “X” works). Tried to leave a feedback on the app, but I could not key in my contact details (when I typed no words came out). Save yourself the frustration and use other apps, there are plenty on the market.

### 1/5 — 慎用！慎用！慎用！

*2022-01-03, version 7.8.0*

使用这个软件购买了两张电影票，付款后没有收到电子票据。在软件内反馈意见要求退款也没有回复。而且当我要进一步完善资料要绑定手机号码时发现我的手机号码已经被绑定了😡感觉很差的使用体验。慎用！

### 1/5 — Annoying app notification

*2021-07-02, version 7.1.0*

Have selected notification only for 4D and TOTO results in the app setting, but still receive advertising notifications and message alerts from some groups which I didn’t even join. Extremely annoying. Also, too many adverts. Will be uninstalling. There are many other better apps.

### 1/5 — Double charged

*2021-06-18, version 7.0.0*

I reloaded for my prepaid card every month using this app. Never really check my bank account carefully until today. This app charged me twice in two different days. While I only performed the purchase once. Be aware guys, they can charge you whenever they want, don’t even need your bank OTP.

### 5/5 — Real time update and GPS tracking of your live bus journey

*2022-11-24, version 8.0.1*

This App is sufficient enough, I would say. Cos it has all public transport related live updates, your live bus route journey, and even suggests the fastest/shortest route for your MRT train rides, which I find it very straightforward. Just the occasional advertisement when you want to switch back to this App, it is a little annoying. 

Thanks Nestia Team 👍🏻

### 5/5 — The MUST HAVE app in SINGAPORE!!!

*2022-09-22, version 7.14.2*

Was recommended by a friend on my first week of relocation in singapore, super useful and i now access the app everyday to read news and do my grocery ordering! Definitely a MUST HAVE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE COUNTRY!!!!

### 5/5 — Great Apps

*2022-06-29, version 7.12.1*

Apps with most updated information be it news/article/video/4D or TOTO result. Sometimes news or article may repeat but it's ok as long updated news/article is up to date. Loving the apps so much. Need to pay monthly for the ads to be remove. Find it irritating when ads may take 5sec to finish. People out there should download this apps soon.

### 5/5 — Nestia app

*2022-06-28, version 7.12.1*

Been using this app for a few years and found the app still as useful especially :-

1)News -daily updated news.
2)Traffic camera-daily updated traffic condition on all major expressways.
3)Lucky draw game-already redeemed some prizes but would be better to have more prizes.
4)Lottery-convenient,user friendly to play,check winnings of 4D,Toto and Big Sweep results.

After all, it’s a good app for all readers.
Keep up the great work and strike for the better.👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Quite useful

*2022-06-27, version 7.12.1*

This app is quite useful for us to read the news for overseas and Singapore. Also, we can gain points for check in, posting comments and etc. 

Still, I think there’s some improvements that can be done. 

I will suggest a report function that users can report comments that is rude or has vulgarities. The nestia admin can review those comments which have been reported by other users and delete those comments. It’s quite frustrating and quite a turn off to see such comments. 

The nestia admin can set some settings for published news. I think there’s some fake news in the app, eg, some boyfriend / girlfriend love issues news which seems to be fake.

### 5/5 — Posting and top up Hp

*2022-06-26, version 7.12.1*

About 3 weeks ago I wanted to post a photo under group but have to try a long time then I can post. I think it’s the app alignment. 

Another problem is the top up my TPG  card. But the top up is unsuccessful most of the time and now my Nestia balance is $37+ and how I am going to utilise this balance in my Nestia account.

### 5/5 — 更新后的体验

*2022-06-16, version 7.12.0*

每次的更新。。都有新体验。。。希望有关部门能越来越好吧

### 5/5 — Integrated apps

*2020-06-30, version 6.0.1*

I have been using this apps for the past 3 years. Although, it was not perfect and emerged quite a number glitches and foibles! However, it was through all these imperfect I saw the sincerity of the support’s team steadfast spirits and the aspiration to provide a one and for all platform for its users. Kudos and keep the good and excellent performance!👍🏾

### 5/5 — Nestia catches the worm

*2020-06-30, version 6.0.1*

Insta news from both local and overseas. Nestia feeds “pop up” news from many platforms allow us as early birds to catch the worm. Public transport news and lottery results are necessary commodities for most Singaporean... heheheh

### 5/5 — 加油💪

*2020-06-30, version 6.0.1*

更新后有很多新的项目与选择，一级棒哦！👍
