### 2/5 — Warning

*2019-07-16*

This app does not update the routes as they go out of service. 

Using this app will get you lost or stranded in one the biggest cities in the world.

Plenty of other public transit apps to use in NY (5 other apps).

Do not get hustled  into paying for this app, there will be plenty of other praying on you as a tourist. You don’t need the extra risk or frustration.

Avoid this app for your own safety.

Wanted to take family to Bronx zoo on 7Ave express.

To our surprise 7 stops on this route we’re out of service (including our stop).  This app directed me specifically to this route.

The stations were not closed unexpectedly, either. Scheduled maintenance. 

We got dumped off in the hood. (The real hood in the Bronx.) with my fiancé, 17 year old daughter and her friend. 

Very dangerous situation that could be avoided if you do not use this app.

### 4/5 — Super

*2018-08-01, version 4.1.1*

Chybí mi možnost stažení alespoň nějaké offline mapy. Když už je celá aplikace offline tak i mapa by se hodila, aby mi to ukázalo spoj graficky.

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2016-06-06, version 4.0.0*

They charge you for each city! Ridiculous!

### 2/5 — 30 day trial?

*2016-05-03*

This app sounds great, but after 30 days, San Francisco Database packs cost $9.99? I'd pay $9.99 if all the offline data was included.

### 3/5 — Doesn't include detours.

*2015-05-16, version 3.3.0*

It would be a great app but it does not include detours for the bus. So you'll be waiting for the bus and realize that the bus has been detoured to another spot. It's then to late to make it to the other location.

### 3/5 — Good

*2015-05-14, version 3.3.0*

This app is really nice, but it's completely idiotic to make us pay for what other transit apps offer for free. Instant delete.

### 2/5 — Works... Spmtimes

*2015-03-05, version 3.3.0*

If you want an app that has a 50:50 chance of giving you nonexistant rout times this is the app for you

### 1/5 — Where's the bus?

*2014-11-16, version 3.2.0*

Couldn't figure out how to get real time info.  Map view was too zoomed in and hard to control. Kept asking me for info and couldn't figure out how to input it. Looks like some of the features that don't work are temporarily free. Soon they will be charging for them. Thought this was a public system. Not surprising as the electronic signs at C-Train stations have never worked properly, and the electronic fare payment system was an expensive bust. The least CT could do for riders is provide info for free and then make sure it works. Check back in 6 months.

### 1/5 — Deceptive and useless without buying maps

*2014-10-24, version 3.2.0*

This should not be listed as a free app since the free version is missing the ability to be used to find transit information, the main point of the app.

### 1/5 — ???

*2014-10-13, version 3.1.1*

the edmonton thing doesnt work i put arrive by a certain time and it just showed every time i could leave even past the certain time. for the one that had the right arrival time had 1 bus to a train station and it says walk to some bus station in 1 minute which was on the other side of town. ??? it doesnt even work dont use this

### 1/5 — Crash on startup

*2014-06-06, version 3.1.1*

Cannot open on iPad Air iOS 7.1.1... Keeps crashing on startup

### 1/5 — None functional

*2025-12-25*

The times are all off and when I put my home address it gives me leaving on the 1 train which is 5 long blocks away!!!

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work

*2023-07-22*

It won’t let me put in a password; it won’t let me put in a destination. It is worthless. I can’t find out how to cancel.

### 1/5 — Why?

*2021-04-06*

Ridiculous app- too limited. Don’t bother

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-09-05, version 4.2.1*

Doesn’t give extended time and connection

### 1/5 — Not the best UX

*2018-12-06*

Please add setting to not display journey price, improve map display (it is jumping with expand/collapse).

I believe developers are listening.

### 1/5 — Don’t even try

*2018-04-21, version 4.1.1*

You don’t need it 
Don’t waste your money 🖐🏻

### 1/5 — Very poor interface and limited locations supported

*2017-11-21, version 4.0.0*

Very poor interface and limited locations supported. Add the cost per city and it is a very overpriced App.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2017-08-28, version 4.0.0*

Absolutely no instructions or help on what to do.  I suppose they want you to buy the premium version before you get any help.

### 1/5 — Do not buy it

*2017-07-24, version 4.0.0*

I purchased td premium version and now it is not working anymore. Apple should remove this application from their list.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2016-09-01, version 4.0.0*

This app charges you to look at a map, what a scam

### 5/5 — Always a great app !

*2026-04-21*

Always a great app, developed by two guys in Pardubice, Czechia, who are always responsive to suggestions. 

Also, the app just works

### 5/5 — It just works

*2022-11-22, version 5.0.0*

I left a review 4 years ago saying this was then my most used app and all this time later it still is. Keen to try out the latest update to 5.0.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-06-07, version 4.0.0*

Very accurate app for transport times. Used it a lot recently whilst interrailling. 

Also impressed with customer service from developer. E-mailed him regarding an issue when moving between time zones effecting train times. He replied with a suggestion to close the app from multitask window. This resolved it.

### 5/5 — perfect app

*2015-08-29, version 3.3.0*

i dont agree with other reviews there are some features in this app that make it perfectly nifty when fumbling around on the street trying to find your way. other apps dont have times you can input yourself . kudos to the developer

### 5/5 — Pretty Good

*2015-01-22, version 3.3.0*

Wonderful route maps, works well. iPhone 6 support is awesome.

### 5/5 — Best Transit App

*2014-10-28, version 3.2.0*

I've been using this for over a year in Denver and it is easy to use and accurate. My go-to app for RTD info and getting around town.

### 5/5 — Really helpful if you are a tourist

*2014-10-22, version 3.2.0*

I visited Calgary last week and spent a lot of time exploring the city. This app was so helpful with finding my way around a strange city. My favourite feature was the route/trip planning portion as it helped lay out a cohesive picture of where I was going. Keep up the great work

### 5/5 — This is by far the best transit app

*2014-10-22, version 3.2.0*

I live in Edmonton and the times are almost dead exact 

You could save so much time using this app, if you look at the time it comes and see what time it gets to your location, you could easily figure out how long your trip will be

I would recommend this for everyone,

It's offline and has no lag its wonderful 

This should be app of the day and have a super high rating. 

If it doesn't work for you your doing something wrong, all maps must be downloaded free from wifi then any map installed is offline

Keep the ratings high so this awesome app keeps everything up to date

### 5/5 — Good app

*2014-10-22, version 3.2.0*

Nice work good for me

### 5/5 — Best App Ever

*2013-10-23, version 3.0.1*

I do not know if it is just me since using public transport in Czech Republic, but I guess there is no better application.
