Use to work great

A few years ago this app would work great and was very accurate. This app is never accurate anymore. It will say the next shuttle would be coming in 47 minutes when I am at the stop and 5 minutes later there is a shuttle. Definitely deleting this app and just going based off of the shuttle schedule

Dead

The app no longer works and support is AWOL. They’re apparently “… working hard to bring NextBus app functionality to the Umo app”, so I guess they’ve stopped working on NextBus altogether.
