Very bad in there time

Very bad in there time and make me late and the bus not open any time

Not a good app.

I downloaded the app because the bus signs said it would help me see when the bus would get here. I opened the app twice and then after that it never let me open the app again. It always said there’s no connection or that there was a problem with the system. Also the app was very confusing to use at first and very buggy. It was difficult to use without the app freezing. A better app to use would be transit. That’s the app that I use and it always tells me what bus to take and when. I do not recommend this app.

Review

I have to constantly delete and download the app over and over again, because it is slow and it doesn’t work right . Sometimes it doesn’t even show when the bus is coming.

Not working when finding nearest station

The upgrade breaks the the functionality

No longer works properly

When you try the find stop near me function it always pops up a error message after a few seconds despite it working fine before.

Laggy

The app is very useful to track location of buses in real time but is very sluggish and often irresponsive.

Please expand your service.

The only truly reliable route is route 28 almost every other route starts late in the day and ends early leaving people stuck places. This app is amazing but there’s just not enough service to truly help anyone. Too many people get stuck places due to this including myself.

The most accurate app for the RTA, however...

It isn't a well-functioning app. I have missed buses which—anyone living in Southern California who occasionally needs to take a bus knows—dues to the constant geotag location error that pops up every four or five times I open the app (buses run every hour in Riverside, CA; you miss one, you're an hour+ late for work). My location on my phone is on; it always is for this reason: to check bus times when I need to take one. This is a terrible error that should be fixed immediately.

Update it’s working now

All of a sudden after so long it started working , I would use the app just for the link to bus schedule and today may 13 2021 it started working.

This app use to work , now it is useless. Doesn’t find my location even if I have location on , just have to keep a book on my instead of this now waste of memory on my phone

No GPS

Location not working even though I have it enabled in settings.

All fake

I miss bus a lot because I used this apps...

Local resident

Poor function and wholly unreliable. I've tried to use it for over a year now.

Fantastic alternative: transitapp. I've used for months and it's great. I've also used it while traveling in the US and it's been helpful every time.

Not user friendly

I always have to find my own location when I open the app instead of it starting the app loading on my location, not to included that it can never include a time stamp. It tells me no predictions available so I have to refer google maps to tell me when it’s supposed to be there instead of real time like it says. Has made me late and miss the bus having to resort to other travel methods such as Uber and Lyft for a ludicrous price.

Extremely buggy

Half of the time when I open the app it asks for my location and when I try to press the locator it tells me my gps is off. Most times it has the wrong times and I’ve missed the bus countless times because of false information.

Going North?

Unless your taking the northbound bus then this is the app for you. Telling when the southbound bus is impossible so don’t bother trying to find out when it’ll come.

It drags... too many steps

App signs you out every time. Cant locate your location for the life of me. I can get faster bus arrival times on google. Every time I get the app where I want it, it just erases everything. It’s sooooooo annoying!!!

Where’s the rout schedule

You can’t even see the bus rout times. It only defaults to showing what buses are at a particular stop. Would be better if they at least included the bus rout schedule like they have on their website.
