### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2025-04-25*

App shows where a bus is on its route. But most of the time it’s off. I been trying for a week, the next stop near you loads for too long and says no stops near you when I live near 2 bus routes. Before a week ago it worked, now something wrong, no updates needed either

### 1/5 — Do better SunTran

*2025-04-24, version 1.0.2*

Fix your app, it’s awful.

### 1/5 — To glitchy

*2025-04-17, version 1.0.2*

To glitchy and doesn’t work good

### 1/5 — Trip Planner nonfunctional

*2025-04-11*

Trip planner cannot find location when trying to plan a route. As a blind person I am dependent on the bus system and the plan a route functionality. This issue has been going on for quite some time. Are there not developers working on this? If money is the issue then start charging for the bus again or offer a subscription service for your app. Just do something.

### 1/5 — GPS?

*2024-12-22, version 1.0.2*

App used to work well enough for me, now the gps can’t even find laos transit on the map. Sad

### 1/5 — Use maps app instead

*2024-11-17*

When trying to find out when a bus is scheduled at a particular stop one can look up a location which is provided by the app, but then when trying to actually get the bus info for that location the app says the location can’t be found.  One part of the app can find the location but it cannot pass the information to the part of the app that needs it. 

It’s a useless app. Better to use the maps app that came with your phone for transit info because this one is not going to help you at all.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2024-11-04, version 1.0.2*

App doesn’t bring up route times anymore and I uninstalled app multiple times and it is now useless

### 1/5 — App needs an update

*2024-11-02*

Maybe it’s just a glitch today, but considering this app’s history at being non-functional or barely functional most of the time, it’s pretty frustrating when it shows up doing that again — especially as i’m waiting at a stop that is in service, but it claims there are no nearby stops available. The bus arriving late is an issue to take up directly with Sun Tran, but the developers of this app need to improve its functionality so it doesn’t bug out like this. Again, hopefully it’s just a glitch and not something more serious.

### 1/5 — Pointless app

*2024-10-12*

Not only will this app sometimes lie to you about the time the train will arrive or if it even will arrive, but on multiple occasions had a fake location of the train heading to my stop. This app is literally sabotaging me and wasting my time.

### 1/5 — App no longer recognizes multiple locations

*2024-09-28*

I love this app and I adore our free (currently) Tucson busing system. I often don’t need the Plan-a-Trip functionality as my trips are routine until I do need it and for the past few days it no longer recognizes locations by name nor by their verified accurate physical address. It will show the name of said place in the listing but when I select it and the screen returns to the map I get a small white pop-up box that says, “Unable to find location” and then quickly disappears. For example, it shows a listing for the Downtown Ronstandt Transit Station but once I select it, it shows the “unable…” pop-up. This makes navigating new places terribly inconvenient at best and means I have to manually try and figure it out but going in and out of multiple “track a bus route”, write down the times, and pray I have figured it out. Trust me, when I need more than two buses, this is a challenge I wouldn’t wish on my enemy.

### 1/5 — App can’t find my location

*2024-09-18, version 1.0.2*

I have constant problems with this app!! 

For the last week or so I can’t get the trip planner to work online or in the app.

Boooooo!!

### 1/5 — Broken, don’t bother downloading the app

*2024-06-27, version 1.0.2*

Updated 6/27/24: now the app doesn’t work at all. The GPS system that they’re using isn’t working and you can’t get any information from this app. It’s been this way for a while. They just don’t care.

The bus tracker is wrong – it goes by the printed schedule, not the actual location of the buses. And no bus in this town goes by that printed schedule. But the worst part of the app is “Plan my Trip.” it gives you wrong directions, shows you the longest and most indirect routes, tells you to get off at the wrong stops, tells you the wrong times – and one trip gave me 3 minutes to transfer to a second bus even though they are fully aware that all their buses run 10-15 minutes late all day every day so there would be no way to catch that bus in 3 minutes. They don’t care about their buses or their riders.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-06-26, version 1.0.2*

Never worksbuses show up late and drivers are on cells at stops when working! Not a fan

### 1/5 — Horrible app!

*2024-06-12*

### 1/5 — Don’t bother, nothing works on it

*2024-01-29*

It will never recognize your current location and will tell you there are no nearby bus stops - even when you’re sitting at a bus stop! The “track a route” section shows you where the buses should be according to their schedules, not where they really are. And the “plan my trip” section is a complete joke. It will give you the longest and most indirect routes possible. Sometimes it just gives you the wrong routes. You have to go to their website instead and use that schedule to create your own trips. It’s a real nuisance. Nothing about SunTran is user-friendly at all, including this app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Its right half the time

*2026-01-01, version 1.1.1*

This app is very inaccurate as far as timing goes

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2025-11-10*

I cannot see any information about stops, buses or even see route’s information. I used this app many times in the past and worked perfectly. Tested in two different phones and it’s the same behavior

### 1/5 — App not working

*2025-11-10, version 1.1.1*

App doesn’t show me any bus stops it says “no nearby stops found” been this way for a couple months now

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2025-10-10, version 1.1.1*

Worked great for a bit for bus tracking but is now suddenly offline and completely useless…

### 1/5 — Never works

*2025-10-01*

This app never works properly I have lost jobs, missed court dates and have missed out on so many opportunities because this app wasn’t working properly let alone the busses never run on time. Do. It trust this app get a real bus schedule this thing is always wrong if it even works

### 1/5 — used to work fine

*2025-09-24, version 1.1.1*

they stopped updating the app or something so it does basically nothing now

### 1/5 — Log in

*2025-09-13*

Constantly always having issues with logging into my account. I’ve had this issue over many years and it’s still the same no matter how many times I get it resolved.

### 1/5 — EVERY month doesn’t work for days

*2025-09-06, version 1.1.1*

Every single month for 3-5 days the real time gps tracker of bus and wait times just gives the spin wheel of death. Their city budget almost doubled in one year and they still can’t provide an app that doesn’t go down every month. Reminds me of a local credit union I used that was down for maintenance once a month on Friday’s of all days. It’s like WTH? I wonder if city council runs their IT dept. probably - just like they run the city. Ha!! I submitted my review at 6am, before my review it was at 1 star, I gave it 1 star then all of the sudden it’s showing they have a 2 star rating overall all the sudden. Come ahhhhhnn.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-09-04, version 1.1.1*

Inaccurate dont trust

### 1/5 — So slow

*2025-04-26*

Ugh this app is so slow, the bus is my only form of transportation, and it’s so hard to find out when the bus is coming when the app doesn’t even load.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — i don’t know

*2023-08-11, version 1.0.2*

this app shows you where the bus is & what time it comes it hasn’t let me down

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2021-05-14*

Has GPS location on any bus, so you know if you missed the most recent one. Now I don't have to call that stupid phone number just to check. I wouldn't use the trip planner I guess, since according to the last review it doesn't work. I use my own iPhone maps to see which bus I need to take, and now I know which one I can just use this app to get up to date time stamps of the next two or three busses.

### 3/5 — Fix the app

*2024-06-27, version 1.0.2*

It's not showing the stops. I want to be on time for the bus. Please fix the app.

### 2/5 — eh

*2025-10-24, version 1.1.1*

It was good until it crashed and nothing it is working anymore yall do better

### 2/5 — Never works

*2025-09-06*

If you live in Tucson fine because you know some of the routes but fix your app always showing stop not found is aggravating when I have over three lined up in a row here

### 2/5 — App issues

*2025-04-26, version 1.0.2*

Your app has been not working for the past 2 weeks. 61 & 10 don’t come on time with some nw stops.

### 2/5 — Bus 61

*2024-07-18*

Bus 61 seems like all it wants to do is race up to Orange Grove instead of sticking around for a minute or two at another stop because that where they like to always ketchup with time and it’s really annoying too.

### 2/5 — Great if/when it works

*2022-10-29*

I haven't had any of the GPS issues mentioned in other comments, and when it's up and running, the app works great for me. However, when the app isn't working, it's down for a really obnoxiously long time--days, usually weeks. (For example, the servers have been down for over a week now!) Considering the people who rely on this app for accurate and timely info, either fix it in a day or two or don't offer it at all!

### 2/5 — Always crashes

*2021-09-22, version 1.0.2*

This app crashes on me all the time.

### 2/5 — Construction re routes will not show up on map and will make you detour

*2021-08-12*

Construction and revised bus routes won’t update on the app so I miss my exit, and have to walk around all the time. Super annoying
