### 1/5 — Unnecessary gathering of personal details

*2022-06-25, version 4.1.1*

Why do you need my mobile number, email address etc. to access the app? You can’t save routes and there’s limited personalisation so I can’t see how this information capture is relevant to your business?

### 1/5 — Lack of maintenance!

*2022-01-11, version 4.0.9*

Like previous recent reviewers, I used to frequently use this app, and it was great. However it seems to have suffered from a lack of updates and now is next to useless, crashing every time I try to use it. I appreciate it’s a free app, but in it’s current form should not be available as it’s a waste of memory space and users’ time.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2021-11-19, version 4.0.9*

This used to work perfectly. Now if you try and look a day or two ahead it simply hangs and you need to close the App.
When we are being encouraged to use public transport to save on CO2 you would think more effort would be put into this App.

### 2/5 — Something has gone wrong

*2021-11-15, version 4.0.9*

This is a great App but it has suddenly started crashing when planning a journey.

### 2/5 — okay

*2021-10-07, version 4.0.9*

used to be good but now i can’t even log in anymore i’m not sure what’s wrong because this app is really convenient

### 2/5 — Frustrating app

*2020-01-23, version 4.0.5*

I used to use this app a lot as it’s always been a quick and convention way of checking routes. Used to work fine. I still use it out of habit, however, it has a lot of bugs or flaws now. You used to be able to change the times in the results page easily but now you can’t. It doesn’t seem to want to show earlier or later alternatives. The search function is also not great and it’s really difficult to find certain bus stops unless you happen to type in the exact name of the stop as stored by Traveline. Sometimes you don’t know the exact stop so this is inconvenient. I’ve also noticed that it doesn’t save recently searched stops anymore either. Now I have to type them in every time. This app used to be great (minus the odd bug) so I’m not sure what’s happened; please make it like it used to be so I can leave a higher review!

### 1/5 — Awful buggy update

*2019-07-19, version 4.0.0*

Hi, I use this app a lot but the latest update is awful. Doesn’t display properly with larger font settings; keeps crashing; and any changes to travel times simply don’t work. Please put it right!

### 1/5 — Total discrimination against the blind

*2019-07-13, version 4.0.0*

This app breeches welsh government accessibility for all policy! 

It directly discriminates against blind users as it doesn’t even allow the names of the buttons to be read in the dock by a phone’s screenreading software. 

It is impossible to set up an account as again it doesn’t navigate between the fields or tell you what the field requires. Where a sighted person sees e.mail address or first name as a prompt, we hear nothing. 

Absolute total rubbish shame i wasn’t able to give it 0 stars as 1star is far too much. 

From disgusted in swansea

### 1/5 — Don't download the latest version!

*2019-06-28, version 4.0.0*

I let it update yesterday and now it just crashes every time I open it. Very poor compatability

### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2019-02-06, version 3.6.3*

I use this app a lot and trusted the information but just recently it is not reliable supplies information of buses that do not run at the time indicated. Be wary of this.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2017-11-26, version 3.5.3*

Always crashed when I pick no changes.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2017-04-01, version 3.5*

App keeps crashing when loading times from favourite bus stops

### 1/5 — Poor

*2016-06-04, version 2.1.8*

What's the point if publishing time tables and bus eta when they are never on time

### 2/5 — Needs full offline data

*2016-05-20, version 2.1.8*

The phone reception in many areas of Wales, especially morrland and mountain areas, even those populat with holidaymakers is terrible. If you are wanting to find out bus times, most likely you won't have reception. The app does not have the full offline timetables, which after all would not be very difficult to do. This means I have to download the Bws Gwynesdd timetables as PDF and store then on my iPad and iPhone.

Disappointing - cold do so much better.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-03-09, version 2.1.5*

I tell the app indeed to be at my destination by 9.10 am, but it gives me bus times for 17.00 !

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-01-01, version 4.2.2*

Just horrible. Never really works even for the simplest of trips.

### 1/5 — Absolute Rubbish

*2025-09-20, version 4.2.2*

I signed up for the app. It then refused my login details, saying my password was wrong. I then requested a reset email which simply hasn’t arrived. A complete waste of time.

### 1/5 — Many better options

*2025-08-26, version 4.2.2*

The ‘Continue as Guest’ option doesn’t work, so that’s me out, thank you. At least the website is now accessible on a mobile device - it used to block you from using it & insist you download the app instead. But there are so many better options, such as UK Bus Times.

### 1/5 — Great idea, but unreliable.

*2025-03-03, version 4.2.2*

Crashes far too often

### 1/5 — Stupid app

*2025-01-05, version 4.2.2*

Man named mike crashed my dog into the bus

### 1/5 — Wrong information missed the bus

*2024-07-25, version 4.2.2*

Waited at the bus stop on the side of the road as the app informed us to wait. Tuesday 23rd July 14:30 Jobs Well road Johnstown to carmarthen bus station, instead of the bus travelling up the hill near Heol Dyfnall it traveled down the hill near Waun Burgess. We got there early and entertained the boys while we waited patiently only for us to watch the bus 227 stop across the road and watched it drive away. We had to walk home with two tied children under 3years. Very disappointed and frustrated.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2024-04-27, version 4.2.2*

I have been using the app for the past few years, but now ‘Plan my journey’ finds the times, but when I select the time I want to see the stops/route the app closes. Not good at all, please sort it out.

### 1/5 — Useless: crashes

*2024-04-09, version 4.2.2*

You can set up a journey and it will give you a set of start and arrival times. Click on the preferred option however, and the app crashes and closes. Chocolate teapot comes to mind.

### 1/5 — Latest update

*2023-10-15, version 4.2.0*

Down loaded latest update, but app doesn’t load

### 1/5 — Traveline Cymru

*2022-11-15, version 4.1.1*

Very clunky, doesn’t load up properly. Doesn’t remember your password. Why not use Google?  Terrible advertisement for Wales

### 5/5 — Quick trial from my childhood village

*2023-03-06, version 4.1.2*

And it worked great, it can even get me to my current city

### 5/5 — Really easy to use!

*2018-05-08, version 3.6*

I have found this app really easy to use to help me plan my journeys to and from work every day!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2017-10-22, version 3.5.3*

This app works really well and gives all the correct information. Being free makes it even better. I use it regularly - well done and thank you

### 5/5 — So handy!

*2015-12-07, version 2.1.4*

App is extremely useful for me as I get buses everyday and now I know when to leave my house to get the bus without waiting and wasting time,very handy.

### 5/5 — Very helpful!

*2015-05-15, version 2.0.1*

Just started commuting from Cardiff to Bristol in May and this app has been a great help.

### 5/5 — Handy for travel

*2013-05-20*

I visit North Wales from the States twice a year, and this app has been my savior the last few holidays! Made it by bus from Caernarfon to places like Beaumaris, Conwy, Harlech, Llanberis, Rhuddlan, Criccieth, Beddgelert, Betws-y-Coed, Blaenau Ffestiniog- just to name a few! Very handy, ESP.if using iPhone.

### 4/5 — Prefer new layout

*2015-05-11, version 2.0.1*

Not experienced any of the reported issues.  Have been using the new app for my commutes to work - helpful for choosing timings and much quicker to select journey options. Didn't give 5 stars as found it confusing initially until I worked out not to leave a space in the postcode search. Hopefully a future update.

### 3/5 — Great app!!

*2015-07-30, version 2.1.1*

Fantastic

### 2/5 — App keeps crashing

*2023-11-26, version 4.2.2*

After I search for a journey and try to open the details of one, the app just closes.
It used to work fine.

### 2/5 — Was good, now poor

*2021-11-28, version 4.0.9*

The app struggles to recognise the times you wish to travel and selecting “earlier” or “later” times simply doesn’t work. The app regularly crashes when trying to plan a journey. It’s gone from neing useful to being frustrating.
