### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-08-03*

Just a terrible app.  Lags to the point of freezing your phone.  Sometimes gets stuck in a never-ending ad loop and as of yesterday it now just starts playing ad music at full blast… when no ads are even playing.  With no way to turn sound off or down in the app of course.

### 1/5 — inaccurate

*2026-07-21*

said there would be a bus at a certain time. bus never came. was extremely late to work. portland transit sucks don’t rely on it to get you anywhere on time.

### 1/5 — Lost my first ride

*2026-07-02*

Yeah app doesn’t alert you of stops so if you don’t know where you get off GOOD LUCK!!! Buses disappear, routes aren’t exact worst app of all time and that is saying a lot

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2026.8 — 2026-06-10

A big improvement for Live Departure Widgets in this release: you can now pin a station inside a widget. This means that you can now have multiple Live Departure Widgets on your Home Screen, one for each station.

We've been busy during 2026. Here's some of the additions to the app we've made since the start of the year in case you've missed any:

• New custom fonts, including dyslexia-friendly options, available in Settings
• Destination Filters: show only services that stop at your chosen destination from stations and bus stops
• Sort saved stops and stations by distance from your current location
• Service Alert Summaries: quick, easy-to-read disruption overviews
• Improved battery efficiency when using live directions and location features
• Smarter Live Activities with automatic trip completion and journey summaries
• Home & Work locations can now be edited or removed
• Saved places and stations now sync automatically across devices with iCloud
• New Shortcuts and Siri support to start live directions instantly as a Live Activity
• The app now remembers your preferred route choices for regular journeys
• Clearer train departure boards in both the app and widgets

Enjoying the app? A quick rating or review helps a lot. Have feedback or ideas? Send us a message from the Help section in the app.

### 2026.7.4 — 2026-06-02

To celebrate World Awareness Day this month, we've added an extra accessibility feature - custom fonts. From the Settings screen, you can now choose from several easy-to-read fonts that will be used throughout the app, including dyslexic-friendly typefaces.

New: Destination Filters

Just open up a station board, tap on Destination and choose the station you want to get to. You'll only see the services that stop there. Great for busy stations where you want to cut out the noise and focus on the lines that you care about.

Best of all, it works for bus stops as well: tap on Destination and choose the place you're going to, and we'll work out which bus lines from that stop go there.

Previously...

Saved Stops by Distance
Now just tap the toggle on the Saved tab to re-order your saved stops and stations by how close they are to you.

Service Alert Summaries
No more scrolling through long lists of alerts. The app now creates a short summary highlighting the most recent and important disruptions affecting your journey.

Better for your battery
We’ve made major optimisations to how the app uses location and background activity while you’re travelling. You can now tap GO with confidence that it won’t drain your battery.

Smarter Live Activities
Live Activities now end cleanly when you reach your destination. You’ll also see a quick summary of your trip when a Live Activity begins.

Home & Work improvements
You can now edit or remove your Home and Work locations again. Saved places and stations also sync automatically through iCloud, keeping all your devices up to date.

Powerful new Shortcuts support
You can now start live directions directly from Shortcuts or Siri. Instead of opening the app, directions begin instantly as a Live Activity - perfect for routines like starting your commute each morning.

The app also remembers your preferred routes. If a familiar journey is available, it will be selected automatically. Otherwise, just choose a route once and we’ll remember it for next time.

Clearer train departure boards
Train times are now easier to read in both the app and widgets, so you can find what you need at a glance.

If you’re enjoying the app, a quick rating or review really helps.
