### 4/5 — Much needed app

*2016-02-29, version 1.5.3*

I am going to Budapest.  I checked every possible app and Internet site and I could not find any information on bus or tram routes anywhere.  This app has been extremely useful. The only problem is some routes have me walking across the Danube.   I'll give 5 stars when they fix this glitch.

### 4/5 — Brilliant idea! Strings together routes nicely!

*2016-01-29, version 1.5.3*

I have downloaded 2 of 3 cities in planning our April European trip. When checking planned itinerary against the realities of transport, it really seems to nail it, helping me make informed choices. Very excited to use.

Plan to use in my local city to test no wifi before we venture. I will come back and upgrade to 5 stars (and subscribe for next trip)  if the practice lives up to the prelim theory OR if Vienna becomes available before we get there in time to download! Please? 👍 
Thanks for this!
