### 2/5 — The top up payment is too high!

*2025-09-08, version 6.8.0*

I, a student have to top up my card for school but the issue is I barely go on buses that aren’t mine but when I do I have to add money on my card and I find it so annoying to see that I have to add at least $10 which my not seem much but i think it’s better to only top off at least minimum of like 2. Most of the students aren’t going onto other buses that need $10.

### 2/5 — New update ruined app

*2025-05-18, version 6.7.0*

The newest update has totally frozen the app. Was working fine up until that point. Now I can’t get past the loading screen. Have tried multiple time to delete and reinstall the app with no success. Please fix the issue

### 2/5 — My Transportme App isn’t working

*2025-04-29, version 6.7.0*

When I opened the app it just shows the bus logo and just the screen, I’m a student and I almost missed the bus today because I couldn’t open the app properly. Could you please fix it ? Thanks From student

### 2/5 — All

*2025-02-05, version 6.5.0*

This app has been accountable for all the times I have missed the school bus. The tracker is laggy, inaccurate or just generally doesn’t work. I have missed the bus 7/8 times past to weeks not knowing if the app is accurate or not. Some days it will say that the bus has not left the station when it is past 8:20 and others it will say the bus is on the other road when I’ve seen it past me. This app idea was good but clearly it has been rushed and hasn’t been prepared correctly.

### 2/5 — Bus arrival alerts come well after the bus has come and gone

*2024-10-16, version 6.1.1*

Bus arrival alerts have got worse. While the duplicate alerts have been fixed, the arrival alerts now come well after the bus has left the stop, making them useless.

### 1/5 — Clunky non iOS UI with no redeeming features

*2023-02-05*

Simply horrible to use, breaks every usability rule and denies the experience of using iOS’s features like quality sign on, secure Apple Pay, Transit card management, watch support oh and it uses Google’s horrid marketing maps to ensure your privacy is MIA. Don’t get me started on the massacring of accessibility, it’s shameful!  This developer is giving iOS users the middle finger.

### 2/5 — When it works it’s ok

*2022-10-22, version 5.1.3*

Unfortunately it hangs most of the time. Iphone 11

### 1/5 — Buggy at first. Unusable now.

*2022-06-05, version 5.1.3*

Very clunky UI, but at least it worked. Since update it just hangs on the loading screen (despite constant notifications saying “your balance is low click here). Frustrating and infuriating. We already have an account, just no way to access it. If you have an alternative to this app, I suggest you use it.

### 2/5 — :(

*2022-03-10, version 5.1.3*

Painful that Parent and child both can be logged in to track bus at the same time

### 2/5 — Apple Keychain not supported

*2022-02-13, version 5.1.3*

This app is not interacting with Apply Keychain to store login details. Which seems pretty basic functionality missing for this app.

### 1/5 — Real time live tracking does not work - please fix it

*2021-10-25, version 5.1.3*

Since we are now back on public transport after lockdown and the app has been upgraded, the real time live tracking does not work. There is a substantial lag. Yesterday the bus was showing about 10 km away from where it really was. Very unhelpful

### 1/5 — Regular user

*2021-07-29, version 5.0.2*

The older version was poor, so update was needed. What UAT was undertaken, clearly did not engage the actual users of the app?

-No ability to create a favorite route for regular trips. (Same bus every day for example for school kids)
- multiple screens and pages to get to tracking the actual bus required
- when finally get to the bus, isn’t tracked and cannot locate.

### 1/5 — Latest update is confusing and possibly bugged

*2021-07-27, version 5.0.2*

The latest update shows ur detail correctly but does not show you where the busses are real time which is very confusing and frankly not helpful. It also has some weird stop signs on the map and I think it would be very helpful if a user could add stop signs so that everyone knows where the bus drops kids off and maybe even help when a driver is new and doesn’t know where particular kids get off the bus.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2021-07-19, version 5.0.2*

What happened? Can no longer use this app.  Cannot login.

### 1/5 — If I could give it 0 I would

*2026-07-14, version 6.8.0*

Absolutely useless- since update I cannot access my sons account and neither can the bus company. Cannot top up and no one knows how to fix it. Time for a new app!

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2026-02-05, version 6.8.0*

Very bad UX. Sack your developers and use AI for a better version.

### 1/5 — Notifications useless

*2025-10-09, version 6.8.0*

Subscribed notifications just say "0". That's it. Just the number zero. If I tap, it takes me to the map but I don't know what the message notice was for.

### 1/5 — Worst UI of any app

*2025-09-09, version 6.8.0*

Who made this it’s terrible. The bus stops aren’t in order they are in alphabetical order. If you go to track your trip you get stuck in the selection page and can’t go back so have to close app and start again. Are the developers even using this app.

### 1/5 — Transportme

*2025-05-29, version 6.8.0*

Utterly Useless. Won't work on older phones, even though versoins were availbale that did, gets stuck in update loops, looses user's info making a complete re-registration necessary.

### 1/5 — Misleading information

*2025-01-29, version 6.5.0*

This is one of the worst app I ever came across. Bus number is not matching what it is. Cannot find the real bus. Useless

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-12-28, version 6.5.0*

Does not work, will not allow me to sign in.

### 1/5 — Multiple alerts have gotten worse

*2024-06-19*

In the last week the multiple alert issue has gotten worse, with no response from the developer.
Edit: now alerts come well after the bus has left the stop. You can’t trust the alert function.

**Developer response:** Hi - we have released a new app version with many more features.  You need to firstly create a passenger account.  Please email us at: support@transportme.com.au if you have any issues.  Once you have the account and app setup, please provide a new review if you have the time. Many thanks.

### 1/5 — Can’t Log In to App

*2024-06-16, version 6.1.0*

Keeps telling me to update the app to login. But this is the latest version. Tried deleting and reinstalling but same error. 
Also tried multiple phones.

### 1/5 — No email confirmation

*2024-04-04, version 5.2.0*

Tried two different email account, multiple times .. still no confirmation email in inbox or junk mail 🤷🏻‍♂️

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Always on time

*2025-08-28, version 6.8.0*

Best bus ever gave a luxury bus

### 5/5 — I don’t see the problem

*2025-02-26, version 6.5.0*

Honestly it’s kind of a pain to get started, but after that, I found it really reliable

### 4/5 — It is good

*2026-05-18, version 6.8.0*

The app glitches very little and has only made me late 1 out of 5 years.

### 4/5 — Useful for school

*2019-10-17, version 2.3*

I use for app tracking my bus for school everyday and it is fairly realiable for that.
Only problem is that sometimes it can be slightly off if the tracker falls of the bus. This has happened a few times resulting in me missing the bus

### 4/5 — Good

*2018-09-19, version 2.5*

It gets its job done

### 3/5 — Good, then not so good

*2026-01-31, version 6.8.0*

Worked well for 2-3 days, now it doesn’t show any operators, or any of my favourited bus routes. Force closed several times, with no luck.

### 3/5 — Frozen entry screen

*2022-10-04, version 5.1.3*

I have to delete the app and reload as it freezes on the opening screen. Other than that it’s a good app.

### 3/5 — Update please

*2022-03-14, version 5.1.3*

Please update I keep having to delete the app and reinstall it so I can use the app if I don’t it stays on the loading screen

### 3/5 — App fix

*2021-06-14, version 4.0.0*

App is good however it keeps notifying me that the bus is delayed all day (every half hour ) after it has collected my child from her stop!  Any chance this can be fixed?

### 3/5 — No Transaction history

*2019-10-16, version 3.7.4*

Quite nice app but no info on what security in place to protect saved credit card details.
And a transaction history would be helpful.
