We can not see where the bus are ### 1/5 — App crashes terrible UI *2026-01-13, version 5.3.20* App frequently crashes and the UI is not intuitive ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-01-13, version 5.3.20* The app is absolute garbage, you’d be much better off just trying to memorize when a bus gets to your stop because the app is never right. It will completely mislead you if you rely on it in any way whatsoever. ### 3/5 — App good. Operators not so such. *2025-12-29, version 5.3.20* Many ORD Busses don’t have in GPS so it’s worthless. ### 1/5 — constantly disappointing *2025-11-20, version 5.3.20* Never able to log in cuz “verification issue” ### 1/5 — No good freeze and kick you out phone lock out *2025-11-13, version 5.3.20* This app the worst not helpful. Has a lot of bugs to fix should be 0 star but it didn’t let me ### 1/5 — Bad Privacy and Info *2025-11-11, version 5.3.20* Needs location permissions all the time for no real reason, and does a bad job of giving information about arrival times. ### 1/5 — Complicated *2025-11-10, version 5.3.20* Stupid ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-10-17* While the idea of this app is awesome, the reality leads to people missing their bus constantly around my campus. This app is glitchy, and will randomly shut down at the worst moments leading to hundreds of frustrated students left with no other options. Our bus drivers are awesome - but struggle to meet the weird schedules especially when assigned times just disappear out of nowhere. You’ll probably get this app because it’s necessary, but don’t expect it to be a good app. I’ve been using this for 2 years now hoping for some sort of improvement that hasn’t came. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate and horrible UI *2025-10-16, version 5.3.20* Constantly re-adds lines I unselected and completely inaccurate times ### 2/5 — Can’t trust it *2025-10-07, version 5.3.20* Prediction times are useless. They have made me late for several meetings. Also the location lag is bad. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2025-09-17, version 5.3.20* I’d like to Laguna Beach trolley tracker. I can’t find anything with this stupid app. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2025-09-14, version 5.3.20* Finding routes by address doesn’t work and buses that are clearly running are not shown. Confusing interface and difficult to find stops using the route map. Very disappointing as this is the only way to find buses for my university ### 1/5 — Nothing to track *2025-08-27, version 5.3.20* This bus tracker app works exactly like the Durango bus system — the buses show up whenever they want, at whatever time they feel like. Most buses run without transponder. If you know, you know. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-08-26, version 5.3.20* The app worked fine last year, but now I can’t find buses near me or even use the app. ### 1/5 — Unusable! What happened? *2025-08-24, version 5.3.20* Used this app for years to track my university’s shuttles, as recently as earlier this summer. Now they recognize them as a place with the route… only to say “no active routes” are in the entire country. I contacted Transportation Services, and they said it’s TransLoc’s problem, not theirs. This app is such a simple premise, but they somehow managed to screw it up seemingly beyond repair. ### 1/5 — Fix it now *2025-08-24, version 5.3.20* It crashes my phone every I use it, makes me log in again every time I want to do anything, and cancels everything when I close it (or it crashes) ### 1/5 — Useless! *2025-08-24, version 5.3.20* I don’t know an app can have so many unusable problem! It’s a mess! ### 2/5 — This is a horribly optimized app that seems like it was designed by people that hate efficiency *2025-08-18, version 5.3.20* To fix this literally copy and paste what North Carolina, specifically the transit app in Durham does and this app will be 1 trillion times better because it will actually get work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2026-08-04, version 5.3.21* I’ve missed around 10+ rides because of how poorly this tracks the bus. I do not have the time to keep up with this trash apps own schedule. ### 1/5 — What is this new update *2026-06-22, version 5.3.21* Today I go on to check out the bus app to see how far away the bus is from my house and I only see the scheduled time, which we all know is not accurate to the actual time it arrives. So please change it back to see how many minutes away it is. ### 1/5 — UCSD stoped the old version but the new one is not ready? *2026-06-04, version 5.3.21* UCSD stoped the old version but the new one is not ready? This is ridiculous…how are we suppose to know when the shuttle is getting here, it’s usually not on time ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-04-29, version 5.3.21* Work for United in Chicago and this app is useless for tracking the employee buses half the time the bus I need isn’t on the map. ### 1/5 — Disturbingly Bad *2026-04-18, version 5.3.21* Constantly crashes, is slow, and poorly implemented. ### 1/5 — GPS is worthless *2026-03-18, version 5.3.20* We used this in Winter Park, CO, and it never accurately located any bus. It was essentially worthless. I wish WP kept their Lift app; It actually worked. ### 1/5 — Don’t rely on this to get to work *2026-03-10, version 5.3.20* APP IS NEVER CORRECT! I have used COAST RTA services for going on 4 years. In 4 years the app has never been correct about the location of the bus or arrival time. Often I will open the app and it will tell me the bus is 50 min away then 10 min later boom the bus magically already passed my stop. sometimes the app just won’t show the bus at all and you have to guess. If you want to track the bus you’ll need a prayer and a psychic. I would pay more in bus fees if the app would actually work ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2026-02-18, version 5.3.20* So inaccurate and half the time the shuttles don’t even show up ### 1/5 — Unbelievably unreliable *2026-02-09, version 5.3.20* I have had to call my school’s parking and transportation number countless times to see where my bus was because the app wasn’t working properly. Frequently it shows the bus on a location on the map where it isn’t, if it even shows me a map at all. They need to fix this app so students can use it properly. If I could give it 0 stars I would. ### 1/5 — Needs fix asap *2026-02-04, version 5.3.20* Makes my entire phone slow and buggy if it is on, even in the background. The app also crashes within minutes every time I try to use it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pretty useful *2024-04-26* I live in a very rich county. Yet, very small. this gets me to all the routes of my local bus company. The routes, and yet of course estimated arrival time. and not just my local bus company, if you wanted to go someplace like Orlando here in Florida, you’ve got it! step-by-step instructional plan and you can see for yourself how it goes. If you haven’t installed the app yet, give it a shot. ### 5/5 — Looks like they have fixed the the tracking system. *2021-03-05, version 4.15.0* We’ll see if continues to work maybe it auto logs the drivers in. It looked like it was on the bus company side part was maybe the driver but when it went down completely they got a new tracking system and it wasn’t compatible yet. ### 5/5 — better interface than the old one *2021-01-12, version 4.12.0* easier to navigate, and now displays scheduled time. better with next 3 buses instead of next 2. ### 5/5 — TransLoc App is Primo! *2020-06-17, version 4.3.0* Fairly easy to use, keeping in mind the majority of users are most likely seniors or those who may not possess vast computer skills. Quick and reliable. If only it went to Kaiser and was available in my residential area... it would be perfect! ### 5/5 — Student with no car - Loved this! *2020-06-16* Revisiting the app now and wanted to drop a review. As a college student, I had no car during the summers to head to places or take internships. I was able to track my rides and get where I needed because of this app. It literally got me an internship, which led to a job after college. Give it a try and play around with it. Once you’re comfortable, it can be a powerful tool! ### 5/5 — Constantly better *2020-03-11, version 4.0.0* I’m so glad they listen to reviews. This app will continue to grow based on feedback. It’s never given me a problem before; but the new updates give me even more control/info. Thanks devs/qa! ### 5/5 — New update just ruined the app *2020-03-11, version 4.0.0* The old app wasn’t pretty, but functionally worked better than any other bus app I’ve used. The new one takes 3x more clicks than the old one and doesn’t even show the routes immediately (“There are no routes in this area”??). I wish I didn’t update this ### 4/5 — Drivers are great! Software ehh.. *2024-01-29, version 5.3.12* Definitely needs new software and needs a better return system that’s more automatic but the drivers are great and I enjoy their positivity and helpful knowledge. ### 4/5 — Really isn’t a bad app *2022-08-04, version 5.2.0* Use it at university when I study late. Works well enough. I can book late night car rides back to my apartment from the library and avoid creepy people outside. That’s enough for me ### 3/5 — Kinda awful *2026-03-10, version 5.3.20* Yeah idk --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
