Half the buses don’t have it working. That’s the most helpful part of the app. ### 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. ### 2/5 — What is wrong with y’all *2019-01-26, version 3.8.4* I was gonna write an essay about every terrible thing about this app, it’s too much now. Just: what is wrong with y’all ### 2/5 — Please fix the notifications! *2017-02-15, version 3.5.2* I've been using this app since the beginning of this year, but since about a week ago, whenever I set a reminder a few minutes before the bus arrives, the notification/alert doesn't even happen. I have all of the notification settings turned on and I know other people who are having the same problem. ### 2/5 — Problems with latest update *2015-10-16, version 3.5.0* Ever since the last update, I am consistently seeing "not available" and "null" for my bus, when before, I would always see a time even if it was an estimate. I'm just not seeing my bus or when it arrives anymore. This happens on route 5 a lot. ### 4/5 — Flawed but useful *2015-04-26, version 3.4.2* I know the rating says 4 stars but consider it to be a 3.5. As the title suggests, this app, while incredibly useful, can be difficult to use. The bus tracking system can be a bit laggy at times. There was even a point where the bus stayed in the exact location on the map for half an hour before moving. The times are also subject to change as "arriving in 5 minutes" could mean anywhere from 2-10 minutes. Long story short, you should get this app, but give yourself plenty of flexibility when it comes to timing. ### 1/5 — Pitiful. How can you not test a new release? *2015-03-19, version 3.4.1* Pitiful. Won't even start without crashing. How can you not test a new release? Please just go back to the old stable version. Don't mess with something that works. Support website is a blank page. Can't even reach the team. ### 1/5 — Literally impossible to use *2015-03-19, version 3.4.1* This app used to be super great. It was accurate and useful. But the latest update causes the app to crash whenever it's opened. Now, it's unusable. Please fix it! ### 1/5 — Bad Update *2015-03-19, version 3.4.1* Update ruined the app. Keeps crashing. How about another update that'll actually make the app work again? ### 1/5 — Please fix this app *2015-03-17, version 3.4.1* It's an awesome app, and I used it all the time, but like the reviewer before me, I haven't been able to use it for a week now(after the update), because it crashes right when you open it! Please fix this, and it easily gets 5 stars in my book. ### 1/5 — Won't stop crashing! *2015-03-15, version 3.4.1* This app worked great but ever since the updates (within the past week) it won't stop crashing. It's so annoying! Please fix. ### 2/5 — Bugged Update. *2015-03-13, version 3.4.0* Crashes everytime after recent update. Please fix asap. ### 1/5 — Getting worse *2015-03-13, version 3.4.0* Just upgraded to 8.2 and the new tracker app won't even open without crashing. Completely useless. ### 4/5 — Excellent app for first time riders. *2015-03-12, version 3.4.0* This app makes riding the bus an easy task. The realtime estimates and locations of the bus all are great features. The design for the progressive schedule could be better to match the rest of the UI. Must have for Cal Poly students. ### 1/5 — Bugged update *2015-03-12, version 3.4.0* I used to use this app a lot. And I hope to use it a lot more. But since the update it crashes on startup every time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Has messed up my plans on several occasions *2017-09-27, version 3.5.14* It switches which bus I'm supposed to take while I'm waiting. First it says the bus is coming in 5 minutes, then the time passes and I check the app and it tells me to take a different bus that's coming in 30 minutes. Then you get on the bus and the bus takes a completely different route than what is shown on the map. This app is so flawed. ### 1/5 — Needs to be way better *2017-02-28, version 3.5.2* The bus system is already always late, the least this app could do is send the correct data about bus times. ### 1/5 — Broken *2017-01-16, version 3.5.2* "Could not fetch places" while using cellular data. Got on wrong buses several times because of it. ### 1/5 — Broken *2016-08-24, version 3.5.2* The app doesn't even work. I've been late to multiple things because of it. ### 1/5 — Imbeciles *2015-03-20, version 3.4.1* Missed a final because of this abortion of an update ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Version 3.8.10 crashes *2019-11-27, version 3.8.10* It will not open at all, instantly crashes. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-03-12, version 3.4.0* Can't live without this app ### 5/5 — Great app! So helpful! *2014-10-08, version 3.3.3* Love the updated position information. Very helpful and useful. Definitely made a big difference in my decision to ride the bus. Love it now! ### 5/5 — Useful for traveling around SLO. *2014-10-01, version 3.3.2* I like the bus tracking feature. It is handy to know approximately when the bus will arrive if it is late. ### 5/5 — Nice update! *2014-04-28, version 3.0.1* Nice work on the UI, it looks great on iOS 7 now! ### 5/5 — Nice app!! *2014-03-21, version 3.0* Awesome app, would be nice to have RTA busses to santa maria!! Start a revolution, take the bus more!! ### 5/5 — Simple yet useful *2014-03-20, version 3.0* This app does exactly what I need so I never miss a bus... Or at least if I do miss the bus it's my fault. ### 5/5 — Much needed refresh *2014-03-17, version 3.0* The app just got a whole lot cleaner—both the interface and experience of using it. Excited to see what's next :) ### 5/5 — I love this App *2014-03-15, version 3.0* It shows where the bus's location is, and has all the information you need to know like time and location. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2014-03-14, version 3.0* Very clean new interface while keeping all the functionality of the old version. It works to keep track of the busses. I don't know what else to expect from it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
