### 3/5 — Not working

*2023-04-16, version 1.3*

I stay in EAST LOTHIAN the app does not work not even load up. Deleted it and install still not working not load up or anything. Click on support to send you my report that does work either please fix

### 1/5 — Awful

*2017-10-12, version 1.3*

Now completely broken. Bus times require artistic interpretation.

### 1/5 — Pointless app

*2017-04-05, version 1.3*

This app is completely pointless, it isn't up to date at all......the tracker will tell you your bus is still due 20 mins after it has left the bus stop! Has made me miss several buses now, deleting app as worse than useless

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2017-03-24, version 1.3*

Disappointed! Downloaded due to radio ad's etc sounded good but didn't realise it only shows me 1 bus, had to search for my bus stop and later bus times were only based on timetable info not real time which is no good for me.

### 1/5 — Data isn't up to date!

*2016-11-29, version 1.3*

An otherwise good looking app. 

However, since a major change of bus routes in Fife, some time ago, it doesn't even have some routes on at all e.g. The new X53 to Dundee. 

Because of this it is now worse than useless. Come on developer, get it sorted. For starters let you users help you. Where is the report a problem button??

### 1/5 — App doesn't have my bus stop 34325327

*2015-09-22, version 1.3*

Or Stagecoach Fife Route 81

### 1/5 — Broken

*2015-08-20, version 1.3*

Installed update on my iPhone on 20/8/15.
Now the app crashes when I try to open it.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-01-07, version 1.2*

This actually is the worst app ever! Read the only other comment and completely agree, no buses,  never gets location even though GPS is on and works great in all other apps. No real point in reviewing as it's free but 2bh pick up a bus timetable from your operators website!

### 2/5 — Location doesn't work

*2014-11-17, version 1.1*

What's the one thing you want to do with a bus tracker on a smartphone? Find a bus stop near you and see what buses are coming. There is a location button  hidden on the map screen but it doesn't work. Instead you need a long number representing the bus stop location you want or need to pick the stop from a map.
The timetables aren't sorted either. Since when does number 100 come before number 2?
The lothian buses app is much more functional and polished. This one does work for first buses though. It needs some work.

### 2/5 — nice try

*2014-11-11, version 1.0*

This is a great idea … but it barely works!

Location services are either always on or never; they should only be used when the app is live or at least that should be an option.

The map zooms out to far too big an area each time you switch to it.

There is an unspecified error each time I try and look up details for a particular bus stop. This means that it gives no information about buses!

Not all operators' buses are included, which makes the app partial at best.
