### 2/5 — Update ruined app

*2026-02-24, version 3.36*

Ever since they changed the bus schedules in august of 2025 the app stopped showing any stops and now i don’t even use it anymore because its not useful.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-02-10, version 3.36*

New update ruined the app

### 2/5 — Accurate times but awful implementation

*2025-11-30*

The app shows accurate arrival times, but is slow, and usually requires me to restart the app 3-4 times before it will actually load a specific station, or for the search function to work at all.  I now just use the website instead, much faster than the app

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Would love to learn more about what you are experiencing to see how I can help. Send me an email via the info screen of the app.

Cheers,
Daniel

### 1/5 — Horrible schedule

*2025-10-30, version 3.34*

Horrible schedule been waiting over 30 min

### 5/5 — Better than the official app

*2025-10-20*

As a new Oakland resident this app makes getting to and from work so much easier.

**Developer response:** Thank you! I appreciate the kind review. It keeps me going to make this free app to make riding transit a little easier

### 2/5 — Accurate real time locations but has issues

*2025-10-05*

For the most part I’ve found the real time bus locations to be pretty accurate, at least more accurate than most other transit apps I’ve used. It’s nice to get a better understanding of how far a bus is to my stop. However, there are some issues that prevent me from using this as my primary app for checking bus schedules/locations. For example, bus locations for the 27 to Emeryville Amtrak for some reason only show the buses going to El Cerrito, not Emeryville. Since I’ve started to use the 27 a lot its been a deal breaker and decided to just stick with the Transit app instead of this one.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the review. Please send me an email via the info screen and let’s see what we can do about Line 27 for you. I would like to understand what is going on so that other folks are not in the same boat!

Best,
Daniel

Please have these two routes to run on time. They’re always late. The ace train departs at 5:06pm and I miss it due to your buses not arriving on time. What’s the schedule for d you can’t honor it.
