### 3/5 — App no longer updated by developers:(

*2022-12-15*

Me and my girlfriend have used this app for many years, it’s really handy for someone that uses the bus every day unfortunately, as of late, something has happened to the app to where you could not see any times listed for any buses at any location all locations display as “ no nearby buses”, unfortunately we can’t seem to find a similar app so we’re stuck having to call Metrotransit to find times when out. I really do wish that the developers work to pay attention to this into update and figure it out.

### 3/5 — Used to be great

*2022-12-05*

This was my go to app whenever I wanted to check the bus arrival time at a particular stop so that I can time my walk properly to that stop. However the map wasn’t really up to date; Metro transit made some changes (added and removed some of the stops) in some routes, but I don’t see those update on the map. Now all the stops show no ‘nearby buses’ so I just don’t need no more.

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2019-12-30*

This used to be my go to app and it worked wonderfully. But for quite some time now many of the pins along my most used route stated no nearby buses, when I know there is one. Specifically route 2 in Minneapolis. One of the main intersections with connections to other routes states no nearby buses when I see one. Please update. This used to be a better app then the actual transit company’s app. I miss it.

### 3/5 — Don't count on this app...

*2014-01-13*

Great concept, but poor execution. Bus times are scheduled, not actual, so if there is light traffic or snow, you either miss your bus or wait a long time in the cold. While standing at the stop, the app doesn't even show you all the busses coming by in the next 15 minutes. Hard for new riders to figure out stops and times.  A few tweaks and it will be a great app.

### 3/5 — Wrong times

*2013-04-23*

I would totally pay the $3 for this if the bus route times were correct. Great design & concept but flawed data. If this is fixed then I would buy it!

### 5/5 — Great simple app

*2013-03-23*

If you ride metro in the twin cities often this is a must-have app. It's very simple, which is a good thing in this case... It loads and refreshes quickly which is very handy. Easy interface with location service and refresh lets you find your stop with real time bus info. A must have app.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2012-12-19, version 2.3*

Simple and straightforward. Really easy to find my bus and see next arrival info.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2012-09-20*

Looks up my location using GPS and finds the bus times for bus stops nearby. Exactly what I needed and doesn't require any effort, unless I want to look up a different location.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-08-22, version 1.0*

spot on accuracy wouldnt go anywhere without it

### 1/5 — Junk

*2023-08-24*

No longer works. Hasn’t been updated forever. Why is it still available? Using Transit instead.

### 1/5 — DEAD APP

*2023-03-25*

This app is not functional.

### 1/5 — A great app, now gone?

*2023-01-18*

What is up with this app? I relied on it almost every day of the week and sometime near the end of 2022 it just stopped working. Only shows “no busses nearby” for every bus stop. I thought it was just me or my phone, but now I see other similar reviews. Metro Transit app is way more obnoxious and cumbersome than this was. Can we get it back please? I even just paid $3 for “no ads” thinking maybe it had become a paid service. So now you have my money too. ☹️

### 1/5 — Every stop says “no nearby buses”

*2022-12-13*

See title

### 1/5 — It was great while it lasted.

*2022-12-13*

Around the beginning of December 2022 it just quit working. It has stopped updating. Every stop now says “no nearby buses”. 💔 I used this ~everyday~. Sad to see it go.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2019-01-04*

The app stopped working this evening, just when I needed to get a bus home from work. Wish I could say I was surprised, but I’m not... what I am is disappointed, because this used to be an almost perfect app.

### 1/5 — Battery eater

*2014-12-13*

Yes it's useful for knowing when the next bus arrives. Doesn't tell me when the bus will arrive ahead of schedule. My phone is less than three years old. My phone shuts down after I look up the schedule three or four times and needs charging before it comes back on. I can't afford this app because I need my phone.

### 1/5 — Limited

*2014-02-09, version 4.02*

It shows route numbers and times but provides no clues as to where the busses actually go. No route planning. Clearly the app authors don't ride the bus. Metro Transit's website is much better, which isn't saying much.

### 1/5 — Doesn't seem to be able to calculate a route

*2014-02-01, version 4.02*

What it seems to do is to tell you when a bus on the <route> will next be at the stop. The only obvious menu item is the one to turn off adds or to add a favorite stop. Without route planning, the app is not much use to me. Deleting it.

### 1/5 — Didn't work

*2013-04-02, version 3.01*

The concept is a good one, but the database erred out trying to update. I do have a 3GS, which it says is supported, but perhaps not really? Without bus route info, app didn't work for me.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2019-03-04*

Best app for bus routes and times in the twin cities and auto updates times even when running late or schedule changes

### 5/5 — A Metro Transit Must Have!

*2017-03-30*

This app is very accurate and easy to use. I cannot recommend it enough for MN Twin Cities transit users.

### 5/5 — Best transit app in the Twin Cities.

*2016-12-21*

I can't think of anything to complain about with this app. It's always right about when my bus will arrive, even if my bus is late. It's easy to use. It updates routes whenever Metro Transit makes changes. I'd highly recommend this to anyone in the Twin Cities who uses public transit.

### 5/5 — This app gives me God-like omniscience...for busses.

*2016-01-20*

I just posted this to my FB, so I thought I'd share it here. 

"Today is my lucky day!  Normally, I take two busses to work and two busses back. I've run for busses twice today and arrived just in time for two of them. 

My luck has been improved by the app "TC Next Bus" which estimates when the next few busses will arrive at a particular stop, using near real-time feedback from the bus GPS. 

For this last connection, I saw that my bus was due and I was a block and a half away on the first bus. I got off and ran for the bus and was able to catch the attention of the driver before they left the stop."

I've used this app for about the past 9 months, almost daily. Today, busses are running on time. But this works even if busses are delayed by snowstorms, which is when I really feel smug about having this app.

Edit: I still use this app and love it.

### 5/5 — Go to App

*2015-04-16, version 5.0*

I'm a student at the University and when I need a bus this is my go to App.

### 5/5 — This rocks!

*2014-11-25*

I like this app so much I'm actually writing a review. I've tried several of these and this is the one I've kept. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2014-09-04, version 4.04*

Very good app to check bus times

### 5/5 — Accurate

*2014-06-26*

This app is really helpful for when you're trying to find a bus stop near by. There are no problems, so far. I would highly recommend it to other people if they need information about a bus stop.

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2014-04-21, version 4.03*

Takes the frustration out of waiting for the bus.

### 5/5 — Best transit app

*2014-02-21, version 4.02*

This is the most accurate real time app
