The Seattle Transit: Bus Tracker Team ### 1/5 — No Means No *2025-11-16* Stop bothering me about notifications and location. I said no, what should that mean? Disgusting design. **Developer response:** We're so sorry for the frustration! We hear you and are looking into how we handle permission requests in version 2025.5.6. Your boundaries should be respected. Please reach out to our support team if this persists!

It’s fine for scheduling a specific trip but useless as a reference. **Developer response:** We're so sorry the app is making it hard to plan ahead! We're looking into improving how schedule information is displayed. In the meantime, please reach out to our support team and we'd love to help.

I clicked “purchase” only to discover… I subscribed to it with monthly renewal! Omg why, I just don’t get it, spending all this effort to build a nice app and then ruin it with these cheap and dirty tricks in to swindle inattentive people of a few extra bucks. Shame, omg what a shame. ### 1/5 — System Errors and NO assistance available *2024-09-18* After a Mariners game my wife and I were directed to walk approximately 1 mile to catch the 550 bus to return to Bellevue Transit Center. It was approximately 10 PM. We we arrived at the directed site there was no transit bus stop at that location. The APP then notified us that that bus stop was closed due to construction. The APP would not direct me to another bus stop - it kept directing us to the same location. We walked until we found Transit Security employees- they directed further back to where we had originally started walking. When we arrived there there was no 550 pickup site. A downtown bus driver took us back up to another location and directed us to walk down hill from 2nd to 4th Ave to a bus stop there - there was no bus stop there. We walked further uphill and found a bus stop & a 550 bus was stopped there. When we tried to get on the bus, the driver REFUSED to let on, saying it was a drop off location only. I explained the it was 10:30 PM and we needed to get back to Bellevue Transit Center before the last bus. He refused to tell us where a bus stop was that we could catch. He rudely shut the doors on us. After walking more miles we found 2 more Transit Security employees that told us to go back to the transit stop where the driver refused to let us on. A few blocks more of walking and trying to use the USELESS APP, we caught a CAB that cost us $75 to take us back to the Bellevue Transit Center where our vehicle was parked. It was mid-night. Don’t trust your life to Seattle Transit!!! **Developer response:** We're so sorry for this awful experience. What should have been a simple trip home turned into hours of stressful walking late at night, and our app clearly let you down when you needed it most. We sincerely apologize and are looking into this. Please reach out to our support team so we can help further.

Nice UI and all but not better than what you can get for free. **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback. You're right that we use schedule-based data similar to OBA, and that's a fair point about value. We'd love to hear what features would make the subscription worthwhile to you. Please reach out at support! The Seattle Transit: Bus Tracker Team ### 3/5 — Seniors *2025-02-12* Would love to see a one-time fee for seniors. Too expensive for just occasional use. Would love to recommend app to other seniors, but may be too expensive for some. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! 😊 We appreciate the suggestion about a one-time fee for seniors. We want our app to be as accessible as possible, and we’ll definitely consider this idea for future updates. Your support and willingness to recommend us means a lot—thank you! 🚍✨ ### 4/5 — Good app, bad monetization *2026-07-14* The app is pretty sleek, but is full of obtrusive ads and the only way to remove them is subscription, like everything these days. I don’t want to pay subscription for my bus schedules lol even if only a few bucks a month **Developer response:** We're truly sorry for this frustrating experience. This is not the practice we intend, and we take this concern very seriously. Please contact our support team immediately so we can look into this and make it right for you.

Super easy-to-use interface and very useful not only in Seattle but all over the globe. I can see from anywhere at any time when buses, trams, subways, trains, and more come and go. I have had this app for around 9 months now and haven’t had any issues with the app, just my own accidents. If there are any bugs, they are few and far between, and probably an easy fix, seeing how easy the rest of the app is to use. I highly recommend using this if you have a tight budget or don’t want to set up yet another monthly payment or any other reason. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled the app has served you well across so many transit systems. Your recommendation means a lot to us.

It was invaluable in getting me to these locations and 100% accurate. Kudos to the developer. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind feedback - we appreciate it! ### 5/5 — Pretty Slick! *2025-01-20* The app works well to understand the commute options to get to your destination, including scooters and e-bikes (you must pay a small premium to see these options). The “Go” functionality works well and predicts 1 line arrivals accurately. I haven’t tried it for busses. I do like how it notifies you of your stop in case you are not paying attention. The ability to give feedback on the seat availability and cleanliness/loudness of the vehicle and station is cool and I hope the data is used by transit productively to keep the trains and stations clean. The 1 line does seem to have a small but consistent amount of riders who camp out and sometimes create a mess in the back seats and leave the fabric seats dirty. Overall this is a big improvement in the app and much appreciated by this commuter. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind feedback - we appreciate it! ### 5/5 — Visitors *2024-08-12* Excellent **Developer response:** Thank you so much! We're thrilled you had an excellent experience. Safe travels around Seattle!
