What's New in Pantograph

2026.4

October 3, 2026

This version: - New: Widgets can now use a saved preset filter to determine which vehicles to count for statistics. - Fix: Tapping a widget will once again show those vehicles on the map. - Fix: Preset filters can be tapped more reliably. Previous version: - Timetables are back! Find them in the new option under the route screen. - Performance is significantly improved when a large number of vehicles is displayed. - Fix: The stop departures screen now consistently displays vehicles on the map. - Fix: A bug where vehicles could show unexpected data when first loading a region should be resolved. - Fix: Selecting a vehicle no longer results in a subtle flattening of the map in mountainous areas. - Change: List view icon is now a search icon, for discoverability. - Change: Email link added to the Settings tab for contacting support. - Change: When stop times on the map is enabled, stops will fallback to schedule time if no realtime estimate is available.

Pantograph update

The new update makes it more difficult to find specific vehicles and navigate overall. Looking up a specific vehicle number gives the series of the bus type causing you to need to sift to find the specific vehicle. Also harder to see specific vehicles on routes as well. Love the app but that was definitely a big downgrade. Don’t know if I am doing something wrong but overall such an amazing app, thank you!!

Block location gone

Update… thanks for educating me….it works great here in Baltimore Maryland….I really enjoyed the app to the point I subscribe because I enjoy the features like locating buses by block number now you made me create account and feature is gone! Why?

Response from developer

Hi there, You can search for a block number by tapping the List icon (top right, second from bottom), then tapping in the search bar and choosing "Block ID." The steps are a little different but it works just like it used to. If you still need help, please email contact@pantographapp.com with more specifics and we'll get this sorted out for you!

Mobile data issue fixed

The latest update seemed to solve my wifi/mobile data issue...but I miss a couple of features from the previous version, like being able to see vehicles and make the map larger in the Stops/Departures view. Still a fantastic app!
