### 2/5 — Will not open

*2015-11-01, version 2.01*

Great app but will not open at all and of late really need it.

### 1/5 — Broken since ios9 update

*2015-10-12, version 2.01*

Plz fix I'm lost with out the app

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2015-10-12*

I purchased this app and it will not open. I've rebooted my phone, deleted the app and reinstalled, and still no luck. So frustrating!

### 3/5 — Needs fix

*2015-10-07*

Keeps crushing! Can you fix it please

### 1/5 — Keeps shutting down what trying to access

*2015-10-04*

Wish it would allow NO STARS. Visiting San Diego and wanted to have the latest schedule and timing of the trolleys. Total waste!!! Just paid for this app and downloaded, but it keeps crashing whenever trying to open. I see why this has been rated so low, it doesn't work and a waste of money!!!

### 1/5 — No longer works!

*2015-10-02, version 2.01*

Used to be a great app before iOS 9. Now app just crashes. Please update so it will work again.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2015-09-22*

App is horrible. Doesn't work with ios9 won't even open. Even before that t wasn't that great of an app. Extremely inaccurate with times. Runs slow.

### 1/5 — Used to be useful app

*2015-09-22, version 2.01*

This app won't even open now. Just crashes on start.

### 2/5 — Not being maintained

*2015-08-24*

It was ok for planning a route 3 or 4 years ago. Changed stops and routes not being updated. Consequently less useful.

### 1/5 — Just okay.

*2015-03-29*

There are some helpful features in this app, but I feel like a lot more could've been done. For example, all of the times are based on schedules, and not integrated at all with the MTS GO! technology. Also, it isn't exactly easy to use, and you need to know exactly where the stop you're looking for is on a map to find it. The interface is choppy and things seem to overlap. There is potential, but it definitely needs improvement.

Update: Even months after the addition of Rapid to MTS, the app has not been updated to include them. Nor has it been updated for the iPhone 6 resolution. Seems abandoned by the developer.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2014-12-26*

This app does not include the most current routes in the system, the 235 and 237. Also, it doesn't seem to give actual arrival times but rather scheduled times. With the robust tracking system in use by MTS, this is pretty ridiculous. For a paid app and with the tech available, it wouldn't be much to expect to see live GPS tracking of any route in the system in real time. Save your money.

### 2/5 — Nobody Home

*2014-11-18*

Looks like something thrown together in a weekend and then abandoned. Does not include any bus routes added this year and their support page has always been "under construction".

### 2/5 — Rarely updated

*2014-10-06*

Not to bad, but it does not keep up with new routes added. Some new routes are over 6 months old and this app does not even list them. Outof

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2014-06-25, version 2.01*

App says "arriving now" when the bus stopped 5 min ago already... Not accurate!

### 1/5 — Directions

*2014-04-15, version 2.01*

The direction engine is garbage. It was usable before they changed it.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever. Can't believe I bought it.

*2013-12-08*

This doesn't even deserve one star. 
It's not intuitive to use. It gave no option to choose "current location" to get directions. And it gives you dumb information that's not easy to navigate easily on a smart phone.

### 4/5 — Needs Offline Support

*2013-11-19*

This is a very useful app, but it's completely futile if you're outside home and without internet access. The developers should add an offline support that allows anyone to manually check the bus and trolley schedules at any time.

### 1/5 — MTS Transit

*2013-11-13*

Less than useless.  Complicated to navigate.  Difficult to read on phone. Best to use map at trolley stop. I want money back.

### 2/5 — Poorly designed app.

*2013-11-09*

Not very user friendly or convenient. Also doesn't include the route 101?

### 3/5 — add a search box in routes section

*2013-10-22, version 2.01*

runs a bit slow the app2..

### 1/5 — Worthless and won't open

*2016-10-08*

Just paid for and downloaded app, and it won't open on iPhone. Don't waste ur money!!!

### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE!

*2016-05-10, version 2.01*

I paid $1.99 for this app and it won't even open on my iPhone.

### 1/5 — Not a good app!! :-(

*2016-05-06, version 2.01*

Not worth it!! 😐

### 1/5 — Not worth downloading

*2016-04-28*

This app is not even worth one star, as a matter of fact it's worth a negative 5 stars. I've tried multiple times to get this app to open with no avail, even uninstalling and re-installing this app. So with that being said its not worth downloading. Why offer an app that won't even open, as waste of time and memory on my phone. Also I have the latest version of iOS 9.3.1

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time

*2016-04-26, version 2.01*

The app crashes every time I open it.

### 1/5 — Zero stars - don't download!!

*2016-01-22, version 2.01*

App doesn't work. It is a piece of junk. Don't get hustled by these guys like I did. Horrible app!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work. Don't waste your time or money

*2016-01-18*

No updates for a few years. Crashes on startup.

### 1/5 — Update

*2015-10-29*

Doesn't work with the new iOS. The app instantly crashes and it must be fixed. It hasn't been fixed in months.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2015-10-25, version 2.01*

Won't load.  Is not kept current.

### 1/5 — Not compatible with iOS 9

*2015-10-21*

There you have it. Crash upon crash, will not open with iOS 9. Just as other reviewers have stated.

It's a shame this doesn't have any reviews yet. I have been using it on a regular basis for over a year and I love it. Very helpful, always accurate, easy to use and well designed, even prettier in ios7. I recommended it to all of my friends and they were

*2013-07-19, version 1.4*
