### 4/5 — Next Ride

*2017-04-23, version 1.4*

Happy with results so far though sometimes some bus info may be missing... thanks for the App!

### 2/5 — Partially correct information

*2016-12-24, version 1.3*

Although the the first step was correct but the rest was all incorrect which caused much inconvenience taking up about 30 more mins than supposed as I had to find a new route on my own

### 4/5 — Mr

*2016-01-22, version 1.3*

Great program, really helpful if you want to explore Singapore by bus!

### 4/5 — Almost perefect

*2015-12-08, version 1.3*

Fast, easy to use, and great display. If only they provide the cost for each route too so we can choose which route is more time/cost effective

### 3/5 — Nice UI. But not best route.

*2015-10-20, version 1.3*

Does not provide the best routing. Does not have many alternatives. Not updated with new buses which have been operating for months already. Google maps still provide the best and fastest route. Will be good if you can choose which bus or train you prefer.

### 4/5 — The best

*2015-10-01, version 1.3*

This app is so simple to use and responsive but should be updated to match latest iOS.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2015-09-22, version 1.3*

Good app. Recommended

### 2/5 — It was ok, but anymore

*2015-09-22, version 1.3*

I have used this App on and off, and it was working ok. Now, it's way off on the schedule, so I end up going back to using another App. It certainly lack many futures to be able to compete with other Apps. It's almost 2016! Technology is moving forward not backward!

### 4/5 — Thank you

*2015-04-26, version 1.3*

This is a very good app but I would like the clear off some of the search history. And it's kinda slow when I'm waiting for the name of the place to pop out while typing.

### 2/5 — LOL. If you wanna walk that is.

*2015-03-31, version 1.3*

Hahah. This app tells you to walk from train station to train station if you wanna route via train. Some bug I guess. Fix it please! Otherwise pretty sweet interface.

### 2/5 — Good interface, poor routing

*2015-02-27, version 1.3*

This app has a very elegantly designed interface. One of the best out there! However, it is plagued by poor routing solutions. Sometimes when I search for train routes it just shows me a walking route toy destination. I was searching for the train route from Chinatown to marina bay sands using this app. I selected the train icon and it just showed me a walking route from Chinatown to marina bay sands. When I used my google app it correctly suggested that I take the downtown line from Chinatown station to bayfront station. Such a pity as this app was so promising!

### 4/5 — Easy to use and nice cosy interface

*2014-07-09, version 1.3*

The only thing bad about it is that it's only a guesstimate regarding arrival times and location but I like that it's quite functional if you give it a fair go.

### 4/5 — very good

*2013-08-24, version 1.3*

very good!

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2013-08-11, version 1.3*

The best app out there for finding one's way using the MRT.  Great (clean) interface very well designed.  Ignore the generic mass transit apps aimed at tourists; and ignore those clueless reviewers who complain that the app doesn't work outside Singapore---it doesn't, but that's scarcely relevant.

### 1/5 — App not working anymore

*2021-02-20, version 1.4*

Date reported 20 Feb 2021. So sad

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2021-01-18, version 1.4*

This used to be a very reliable App, but after the last update it continuously fails and never shows any available routes or buses

### 1/5 — Terrible app!!!

*2017-08-01, version 1.4*

Don't download this app if you don't want to be lost. Terrible.

### 1/5 — Overall was good but.....

*2016-12-14, version 1.3*

This app designs is good. However, it doesn't give accurate timing for rides. Eg, it says 199minutes for JE to Aljunied. But when I took the train, it's less than an hour. First, timing inaccurate. Second, it doesn't give the fastest way to reach your destination. Conclusion, not a really good one. Needs improvements!!

### 1/5 — Was good but now HORRENDOUS

*2015-09-26, version 1.3*

Use to be a good app. Good & simple interface. Routes with timing given was pretty good. 
Now it seems routes are EXTREMELY POOR .  It once gave me a route that took 382 minutes. HORRENDOUS. 
Muck up many journeys many times.
Seems like the developer are not interested & letting this app rot.

### 1/5 — Dead app

*2015-06-08, version 1.3*

The app no longer works. Just constantly circles when searching for a route and then says something agent wrong. Rebooted the app and closed down iPhone and restarted but tricks that sort out other apps don't work for this one. A pity as when it worked it was a good app.

### 1/5 — Failed to locate me in SG

*2013-06-16, version 1.3*

The first time I opened it, it showed me the Philippines instead of Singapore. This app has poor implementation of Apple's location services.

### 1/5 — Merry-go-round suggestion

*2013-03-09, version 1.3*

It suggested to take bus to the MRT station which I can walk less than 300m to the MRT station. After which it suggested to take train and change bus and walk 20 mins to the destination. What a hassle! After checking with other apps I realize I have a straight bus to the destination. There are too many est. time and they do not match with the total time estimation for the whole journey.

### 1/5 — Too slow

*2013-02-07, version 1.3*

After updating the app, the time to process a query takes too long. I gave up before the query could be processed.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate when I plan from my place to Singapore zoo

*2012-11-13, version 1.0.2*

I think that it is not as good when compare to Singapore maps. However most journey planner today do not consider using mrt, lrt and transit to bus at the shortest possible time. I think Lta must look into coming up a service to tackle this shortest route problem.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2018-09-14, version 1.4*

I relied on this app during my first time trip in Singapore and it brought me right where I want to go. I especially love that it tells you if the bus still has seats left.

### 5/5 — Great app! Essential for MRT newcomers.

*2014-07-22, version 1.3*

Clean user interface. Very easy to use. Thank you for a great app in getting around Singapore!

### 5/5 — Really useful

*2014-03-21, version 1.3*

Indispensible for using public transportation in Singapore.

### 5/5 — Best transport route app so far

*2014-02-03, version 1.3*

The alert on the next stop to alight comes extremely handy (especially those who doze off on buses or are travelling to an unfamiliar place). Also awesome is the plotting of bus stops on the map. Better than gothere by miles!! Yup, pun intended

### 5/5 — 重宝してます

*2014-01-15, version 1.3*

電車だけでは行きづらいところにも簡単にいけます！
バスは、路線は12でも33でもいい、ということも多いので、そこを改善してほしい。

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2013-12-08, version 1.3*

Brilliant, informative, and easy to use app. I have always found it frustrating trying to work out the route of buses so I can plan my travel. This app goes one step further and will work out multiple routes including walking requirements, and it will display an easy to see timetable, and route map, including all interchanges. It’s fantastic.

### 5/5 — Good

*2013-10-15, version 1.3*

Good

### 5/5 — Sehr coole App

*2013-09-27, version 1.3*

Funktioniert sehr gut.

### 5/5 — Cool App!!!

*2013-09-16, version 1.3*

very very useful!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2013-08-16*

Great app for getting around Singapore.
