### 3/5 — Fix live tracking

*2026-04-28, version 3.10.9*

Please fix live tracking. Half the buses don’t have it working. That’s the most helpful part of the app.

### 1/5 — Worst App of All Time

*2026-04-14, version 3.10.9*

I’ve genuinely never seen something like it, truly one of the worst apps of all time. it’s a coding mystery on how they made it so bad. I can’t remember one time over the past two years it’s told me the correct time my bus was coming. Oh the bus is 5 minutes away? let me walk the 2 minutes it takes me to stop, I get there, either i somehow missed the ghost bus because now it says it’s 19 minutes away! ok well I guess I’ll walk home. I turn around at my house, boom, it’s leaving. not 5 minutes away, not 19 minutes away, but 10 since I’d left the first time. I love slo, I love cal poly, this app has genuinely made me think about dropping out and moving.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-04-08, version 3.10.9*

Often busses do not appear appear on the map. Sometimes the app says a bus will be coming and it never does.

### 1/5 — A social experiment by the deranged

*2024-02-02, version 3.10.9*

With this app, you too can be late for classes because the buses didn’t show up on the map and the times never updated to reflect the bus that passed 15 minutes before schedule!

### 1/5 — Oh yes the bus would be here

*2021-10-28, version 3.10.5*

If the app had correct information. Also the 4b and 4a swap on which one shows up on the map cause knowing where both are is way too helpful. As much as I love walking 30 min home, waiting 20 minutes past the expected bus arrival time is the slo transit way. Stop spending so much on advertising and get your stuff to actually work

### 1/5 — WORST TRANSPORTATION APP EVER

*2021-09-07, version 3.10.5*

I don’t know if it’s SLO or that not many takes the bus but this app is complete garbage. 
Never gets the time right, app crashes all the time. Often with the 4A and 4B it’ll be telling me that there’s two buses coming in a row. 
Now the app isn’t even showing me the busses next arrival time. It’s just giving me a “not available” even though I re-downloaded it three times. Some of my friends have time showing and some didn’t. 
Useless

### 2/5 — Connections?

*2021-01-02, version 3.9.4*

App won’t take my location and destination then tell me possible connections. Maybe there is a way in the app for this but I haven’t found it in 15 min of clicking, either it isn’t intuitive or it’s just middle school programming. Its like the old days of reading schedules and doing the work yourself. Very internet 1.0. I really expected better than just a collection of bus schedules. Functionality is serious letdown.

### 3/5 — Can't use in dark mode

*2019-12-13, version 3.8.12*

Can't see the eta of buses when in dark mode. Please fix.

### 2/5 — Dark Mode update blocks essential info

*2019-12-03, version 3.8.11*

I love this app and use it to get to school frequently, but after the iOS 13 update, it’s basically unusable since most of the time date is blacked out.

### 2/5 — Needs an update

*2019-12-02, version 3.8.11*

The app’s UI supports the new dark mode but isn’t compatible at all.  Text consistently doesn’t display properly against the dark background. Either dark mode shouldn’t be available on the app or the app needs revisions to support it.
