I’ve uninstalled and redownloaded and still same problem. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-01-30, version 2.0* This app is recommended by our local county transit and the only thing it will do is show me my location and nearby stops doesn’t show the routes and doesn’t show where my bus is. It’s completely useless ### 1/5 — Abadoned app for Lowell City *2025-01-10, version 2.0* I take the bus to get to school but from the day I downloaded this app for a better understanding of how the bus schedule looked lime I was met with NOTHING loading in. Hasnt fixed itself even in weeks. Don’t download this app if you live in Lowell, literally won’t work. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2024-12-04, version 2.0* I liked the app when it worked but it just has an empty loading screen on both mine and my partners phones now. ### 1/5 — Not loading for the past week *2024-12-04, version 2.0* Edit: Pretty sure this app has been abandoned by the creators. The maintenance button leads to a defunct website. I was so glad when the app started working a few months ago! It used to only show my routes, but not where the buses actually were. That may have been a problem with my local transit system, but I don’t think so. This app routinely fails to load - usually at the most inconvenient times! I really rely on Route Shout bc our buses are either 5 min early or 20 min late. It seems like this problem started acting up again after the most recent update. Please fix it ASAP! ### 1/5 — Frequent rider *2024-12-02, version 2.0* Route shout 2.0 there’s major problem unloading frequently doesn’t load it all or takes Forever ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load in *2024-12-02, version 2.0* My daughter rides the transit bus to be dropped off at school so as a parent, I worry this app doesn’t load in and when it does, it’s kind of a rare occasion it don’t matter if I’m at home or at the bus stop with my daughter waiting it still just don’t wanna load. I really don’t think that this app is worth having. Of course I’m not trying to be rude. I’m just trying to be honest because with a child that goes to school riding the transit bus. I need something that’s accurate and loads in quickly so I can see where the bus is at or if it’s if it’s already passed and I need to take her to school and another thing is is the bus can be early or late even though it says it’s supposed to be there at a certain time so you honestly never know ### 1/5 — Not loading for the past week *2024-11-28* I was so glad when the app started working a few months ago! It used to only show my routes, but not where the buses actually were. That may have been a problem with my local transit system, but I don’t think so. This app routinely fails to load - usually at the most inconvenient times! I really rely on Route Shout bc our buses are either 5 min early or 20 min late. It seems like this problem started acting up again after the most recent update. Please fix it ASAP! ### 1/5 — Keeps loading *2024-11-27, version 2.0* Worked fine until the last couple of days... ### 1/5 — App needs update *2024-11-25, version 2.0* App doesn’t even load. Hard to use, can never find bus route or schedule ### 1/5 — Nothing but a Loading screen *2024-11-24, version 2.0* Worked okay for two days, albeit pretty slow. Now it just opens to a loading screen and stays there indefinitely, or until it times out. Same on my partner’s android. ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-09-18, version 2.0* Visiting Santa Fe and the local public transit agency recommends using the software. I am unable to locate bus routes, see when buses are arriving, or do anything with this app. if the public transit agency recommends using it, I think the problem must be on the developers end. I will have to rely on transit info from Apple Maps. ### 2/5 — Better than nothing *2024-09-06, version 2.0* This app is in urgent need of an update. It’s better than nothing, and I’m grateful Manchester NH share their route information, but come on - make it useable! ### 1/5 — Does nothing but perpetually load :( *2024-09-04, version 2.0* This app could be a lot better supported. Each time I’ve installed it it’s either too complicated or nothing works. Right now it does nothing but perpetually loads, and does nothing when I try to select my state. ### 1/5 — App server down *2024-08-05, version 2.0* My app will not load any content been down since this morning am and I really need someone to fix ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work *2024-07-09, version 2.0* When I open the app for the very first time I’m shown a screen with all the states and bus companies it supports. I scroll to my state, click the button, and nothing happens. Okay. So I close the app and open it again. Now I can’t even see the list of states. I delete the app and redownload. Now I can see the state list again so I click and the whole process repeats. Literally does not work. I don’t know what sort of magic everyone who got it kind of working did but I clearly don’t have it. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-05-18, version 2.0* Wye is the app not working? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-06-05, version 2.0* Downloaded it on my iPad, all it ever showed was a blank screen. deleted ### 1/5 — Fix this stupidity *2026-01-12, version 2.0* It used to show you where the bus is but now it doesn’t and this isn’t just for me everyone I talk to it changed and it used to be helpful to know where the bus was but now nothing I see the anticipated time but sometimes it’s 3 hours late or maybe it already came 40 minutes ago and I’m here waiting for nothing because it says it’s expected in 7 minutes. It used to be good then something changed now it sucks ### 1/5 — Not working at all *2026-01-03, version 2.0* I’ve deleted and downloaded again. I don’t know what else to do. I can’t get past the “pick your transit authority” screen. When I click, it does absolutely nothing. Or the app doesn’t load at all. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-11-10, version 2.0* Half the time it does not track them and some of the time it does it is not even accurate. I have seen a bus teleport to the middle of a pond and sit there!? Fix your app ### 1/5 — App not working *2025-09-24, version 2.0* I downloaded the app 2hrs ago it wont let me select the state I’m in I closed the app an reopened it an it wont work ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load *2025-07-09, version 2.0* This app doesn’t work at all. Nothing loads. I waited 30 minutes and did a speed test on my end. Whatever municipalities are paying for this service need to stop wasting money on this service. ### 1/5 — App is frozen on loading screen and will not work *2025-06-05, version 2.0* Been like this for days, would like the app to function properly. ### 1/5 — I take the bus to work *2025-05-05, version 2.0* The app doesn’t load ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2025-05-03, version 2.0* I genuinely can’t remember that last time this app opened up without me having to delete it and download it again ### 1/5 — Needs help!! *2025-04-29, version 2.0* The app desperately needs an update, it has been too long. The app does not load for me. Is there anyone that is still working and managing it?! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App works flawlessly! *2023-03-30, version 2.0* This app has never crashed on me before even when I was using a cheap Android phone a year ago! The iPhone version has ALSO never crashed on me. Other than the fact that sometimes the bus drivers forget to activate their GPS trackers at the start of the morning routes sometimes, which is no fault off the app itself, I have ZERO complaints. 9.8/10 ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-12-04, version 2.0* Steamboat resident been using and loving the app for a while! Great accurate live map of the bus. ### 5/5 — 2.0 Version Works! *2021-01-11* The older version does not work anymore (they shouldn’t offer it), I downloaded the 2.0 and so far, it’s been working fine...tells me how many minutes before my bus arrives and maps out the route. ### 5/5 — It’s not perfect *2018-09-06, version 1.0* But it’s simple enough for my adult daughter with special needs to use to decide which bus to take home from work each day as her quitting time varies. It gives her a sense of independence. ### 5/5 — Needs to be updated it doesn’t load up *2018-08-14* I like the app, no way I can miss a the bus but for the past week it’s taking over 3-5minutes to load up when it’s opened so i can’t watch the bus on the map Please fix this ASAP ### 5/5 — ACCURATE *2018-07-11, version 1.0* First time catching this bus and it helped me perfectly thank you ! ### 4/5 — worked on iPhone 11 *2026-05-26, version 2.0* upgraded to iPhone 16, then had wifi outage for few days, couldn't get the app to work on cellular; when wifi restored, still couldn't get app to work even after deleting and redownloading. workaround is direct link to wheres my bus etc on coastttansit.com under how to use, but haven't yet figured out the way to see where the bus is in real time. customer service is great if you have to call. ### 3/5 — Not Currently Working *2024-11-30, version 2.0* It’s helpful when it works ### 3/5 — Why they stop using this app and now the new app is trash *2024-10-04, version 2.0* They using another app that is trash I don’t know why that stop using this one to use a worst one ### 3/5 — Not working with iOS 16 *2022-09-23, version 2.0* Doesn’t work with new Apple iOS 16 upgrade. Shows loading screen. Before it was pretty good indicator of bus arrivals time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
