### 5/5 — Favorite

*2024-09-10*

Would delete social media before this app. I panic when it rarely doesn’t work.  Recommend ads free. Even if you have to reload. It transfers. Just make sure you download the correct city.

### 1/5 — Better Luck watching out the Window fora bus

*2023-05-30*

Too many times it says a bus is no where insight when I can see it pulling around the corner.  
Gone back to old PDF of bus schedule which is more accurate than this app.

### 5/5 — It works

*2022-02-25*

It’s a map, it shows you where bus stops are and their schedules. It’s handy, nothing special, but would recommend for visitors

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-11-14*

Tried it twice won’t show schedule. Deleted it.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2021-10-12*

The Bus Tracker app is minimalist, which is why I think it’s great. Other apps try to calculate routes and proces, which is cluttered and annoying. What this app offers is the most convenient and opportune: the stops, the bus times, and the ability to save stops. That’s it, and that’s all you need

Update: downgraded the app a star because it has been frequently having technical issues. Not sure if this is the app’s issue or the Pittsburgh Port Authority, but the times have been not showing up.

### 1/5 — Not accurate, hardly ever displays time.

*2021-09-29*

Every time when it’s actually displaying the time and not saying the time is unavailable or “invalid API access key supplied” which is like a 50/50 chance, the time has never been accurate. Usually, it would say the bus is 5 minutes away and show up 30 minutes later or sometimes show up an extra 10 minutes earlier than what was displayed. It’s also hard to navigate and not very user friendly
