### 2/5 — Why it’s okay

*2026-03-20*

I gave it 2 stars because the buses are always to early or to late they often stop at the wrong places and yet my wife 

has called them thousands of times to ask them to tell the bus to come back  so yeah I not a huge fan of this app but it’s still something good to have to give you a rough timing of when the bus will come.

### 3/5 — …

*2024-10-18*

It’s a Good app however the live bus route never works I can never see where my busses are as they just disappear but everything else is good.

### 2/5 — Recent update

*2023-01-10, version 40.0*

Since the recent update the app has got worse it living in Torpoint when you start to use it  you either get error 500 or it loads with St Austell town not Plymouth or Torpoint

### 1/5 — Needs to update bus locations

*2022-05-21, version 38.0*

Most unreliable app.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2022-05-04*

Half the time the bus isn’t even on the map and it is never on time absolutely rubbish

### 1/5 — 16 bus schedule

*2022-03-18*

Am confused….. no bus service ?

### 3/5 — 39

*2022-02-06, version 36.3.2*

the bus i use 39 camborne to helston is really full and most of the time people are standing it is very overfilled especially with covid, needs a bigger bus for that route

### 1/5 — Massive step down

*2021-06-01*

I’m entirely unsure what user testing was performed on this new app for Cornwall, but it is a massive step down from the original app. 

This is much less user friendly, and the map is incredibly painful on the eyes.  

There is too much going on. Less is more

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — terrible

*2026-07-13, version 118*

buses either always late or never show up so youll be waiting for an hour just walk instead of wasting money

### 1/5 — Bus stop locations shown are wildly inaccurate

*2026-07-12*

I’ve used this hopeless app for the last two days. On both days, I’ve been directed to locations 100 yards from the actual physical locations of the bus stop. Basically the maps are useless. Ignore them completely and just look for a bus stop somewhere nearby. That’s probably it.

### 1/5 — Crashes when opened

*2025-09-27*

After the recent update. Every time I open this app it crashes. I bought a week bus pass on here. Can’t use it now.

### 1/5 — Didnt work

*2024-08-25*

Always displays “ we were unable to complete the search”

### 1/5 — First Kernow don’t show

*2024-06-07*

Useless app because you can’t track what time a First Kernow service is not helpful if a bus stop is only served by Kernow

### 1/5 — Didn’t come the correct route

*2023-11-21*

I was waiting on Egloshayle road for the number 11 to padstow and I was here 10 minutes before the bus (around 7:45) and the bus didn’t come down egloshayle instead I saw it coming down gonvena hill and over the old bridge completely missing all of the stops on egloshyale and it has caused me a lot of stress as it has caused arguementa between me and people close to me so I am not very happy

### 1/5 — Services missing

*2023-11-03, version 52*

Doesnt even gave times for First Kernow buses. Pointless app

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2023-09-16*

I’m trying to plan a bus route from Portreath to Camborne. The bus timetable was promising, I even phoned to make sure (a very uninterested lady told me that they came every hour). Come to find out that most of the morning times only run during the school holidays.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-11-16*

Tried to search for busses for Bude to Exeter and just keeps coming up with and error and can’t find any results. The app is about as reliable as the public transport in Cornwall.

### 1/5 — Very confusing

*2022-10-24*

The Callington to Tavistock bus service (the 79 and 79A) have their destinations in reverse order on the ‘Timetable’.
This app is definitely not user friendly.
I did not find customer service helpful either.

### 5/5 — Recent update

*2025-09-12*

Since the recent update the app has got worse it living in Torpoint when you start to use it 
It indicates cannot find line 
Never had it before of the upgrade

### 5/5 — Love ya

*2025-06-27, version 94*

You’re the best TfC

### 5/5 — Buses

*2025-05-17*

Hi I like looking at the Bus timetable to check for bus times cause I find it very useful

### 5/5 — Blinding

*2025-01-25*

I find this very ever to use everything about it is good for me. 
🌍💚🌍

### 5/5 — Surprisingly good

*2024-02-08*

It took me a while to figure out how the timetables work but once I got the hang of it I found it very useful and quite easy to use.  The maps showing the location of buses are very clever and extremely useful.  On a trip in Devon I looked for a similar app but couldn’t find anything half as good as this.

### 5/5 — mr Zack Hill

*2021-08-15*

proper job fantastic experience

### 4/5 — Phantom Busses

*2024-02-19*

It’s a decent app, to a point.

A lot of the bus timetables are missing. First Kernow timetables would be a nice addition as on Sundays I get told there are no busses running in some areas, even though they definitely are.

Waited for a couple of busses one day and they just never appeared.

Please add a static menu button. It’s annoying having to back, back, back, back, back to get back to the menu icon.

### 4/5 — Bus app

*2023-05-08*

So far so good. Would good to have more covered stops.

### 3/5 — Good app overall-one major problem

*2026-03-09*

This app is a much better alternative to the first bus app however I cannot access my ticket without decent WiFi meaning I have missed my bus due to me not being able to use my mobile ticket. Please fix this

### 3/5 — Could be a bit better

*2025-01-24*

It’s okay but it has a day and week tickets which is annoying. You can see the mouse hole 9 bus . But it is expensive due to a day ticket being 4 pounds just for a day and this is to get to school and back for me. Could be better but this will just have to do for now.
