User reviews

Horrible ads

There is an ad constantly appearing trying to scare us into thinking our phone has been compromised. It has no way to cancel it and the buttons that might cancel it are fake. Quoting the app is the only way around it. Fix this or I’ll delete the app

App constantly gives garbage data when a bus has not yet departed its origin point

This app has wasted hours of my time in real life by supplying completely made up and randomly fluctuating ETAs whenever a bus has not yet departed its origin

Time is always wrong

Today it said the bus was 6 minutes away for about 10 minutes

I Really love this app

I got this app and I am using this more ,whenever I get to my school I really love it.

Nothing on the Lock Screen

Still can’t see anything on the Lock Screen.
And there’s no widget.
