### 2/5 — It said it was cancelled

*2026-08-15, version 4.47.1*

It said it was cancelled so then I gave up on it and then I opened the app again about 10 minutes later and it said it was completely fine and now when people ask me why I couldn’t get on the bus, I had to say it said it was cancelled and they won’t believe me.
Very misleading

### 2/5 — Ads pop up after buying tickets

*2026-08-14, version 4.47.1*

Ridiculously, I get ads for men’s underwear that fill up the screen immediately after buying tickets, saying I have special offers. Frankly I don’t care about buying underwear or anything else when I’m just trying to get a busy ticket. Also, this makes things difficult if I’m buying a ticket right before getting on the bus and there’s a time crunch. It seems I can’t even escape ads on an OFFICIAL BUS APP. There is no place for ads here, the only reason I continue to use stagecoach at all after this disrespect towards their customers is because they’re the only ones available.

### 1/5 — Terrible Design

*2026-08-12, version 4.47.1*

Probably the worst travel app i’ve ever used, why it feels the need to be this bad i have no idea, don’t bother just get a first bus i beg.

### 1/5 — Bus was bad

*2026-08-11, version 4.47.1*

App is fine but driver was half an hour late and ignored me-x47 raunds to northhamton 5:30 pm

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-08-11, version 4.47.1*

Total rubbish. Bus never comes on time and when it does there’s 2 behind it. Can’t believe we have to pay for this service

### 5/5 — U16s free tickets

*2026-08-10, version 4.47.1*

The bus driver gave me a free bus ticket because I was under 16 on my ride to my football training, this is beneficial for people such ad parents who struggle to pay for children’s transportation. It’s only the 6 week holidays but I hope stagecoach can do this after the holidays for children who need to take the bus to school.my favourite bus service

### 1/5 — Rubbish information

*2026-08-09, version 4.47.1*

Never gives right information. App said our bus due at 17:40 was expected at 18:12 in fact turned up at 17:38 so we missed it as was last bus of day. Tried phoning stagecoach but all you get now is automated answers telling to check ap or website.

### 5/5 — Great Application

*2026-08-08, version 4.47.1*

Got this app in 2025 to help me get on buses around Scotland, and it’s done its job, the UI is great, no glitches or bugs from as far as I can see, and it’s a fantastic utility.

### 1/5 — Privacy much?

*2026-08-06, version 4.47.1*

I don’t want a ADVERT from anyone mom my app screens. No way. No how. 

No adverts. You rob us enough as it is and this is an insult. @apple needs to step up.

### 3/5 — Accidental overcharge

*2026-08-05, version 4.47.1*

When purchasing a ticket on the app, the new ticket screen will pop up but will not always load. When the app first had this ticket update, myself and a few friends assumed the ticket didn’t load so we crossed out the unloaded ticket and reactivated another ticket. By then x2 tickets would be activated and no way to compensate due to a software delay. Overtime I assumed it would be fixed but the issue still remains. Please allow a pop up on the screen before claiming more than one ticket, or make it easier to make accidental claims.
