What's New in STARNow

4.4.1

March 18, 2026

This release brings various new features, improvements and bug fixes

User reviews

Over an hour

If it’s connected to Uber and Lyft and those are available all the time there’s no point in capping the fare if you’re paying for an entire day. The wait times for a bus is ridiculous the busses will always be 45 minutes away and they never arrive without 10 minute delay. This app needs serious fixing.

Better service

The Dispatch for service is HORRIBLE, literally be no help they can’t never tell you what’s going with your ride or if you can even get one..

Doesn't cover service areas listed

The website says Rockwall County is covered by Star Transit, but the app doesn't allow for trip planning in Rockwall County.

Like most transit agencies, they are not good with technology, it seems.

The app change is ok

Seems like it was updated its just going to take alittle time to get use to the new. Only complaint is that I had to scramble to get a ride when A ride through the app couldn’t be found at the last minute when I scheduled early.
