### 1/5 — Anyone there?

*2025-11-27, version 1.30.1*

E-mailed a few times now, few to many and not a single reply, so is there anyone at Customer services ?

### 1/5 — Oops. No car option

*2025-11-25, version 1.30.1*

Seriously? They’ve removed the car option so you’re forced to use only public transport options.

### 1/5 — This version is terrible.

*2025-11-25, version 1.30.1*

I agree with other reviewers. The previous version was far better. They have tried to make this too fancy and it’s not great at all. Just trying to enter an already saved address as your start point, takes multiple prods to enter, if you’re lucky. Same for destination. Quicker going onto each operator’s website to get correct times and routes. Roll this app back to previous version, instead of trying to patch up a rubbish current one.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-11-22, version 1.30.1*

The old app was great. Live traffic cameras were easily accessible.  None on the new app!

### 2/5 — Timetable errors still uncorrected 14 days after report

*2025-11-20, version 1.30.1*

Despite several communications to Traveline, at least two bus services are still missing from their Planner’s version of the Biggar to Edinburgh bus service.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-11-20, version 1.30.1*

Confusing and useless

### 1/5 — I don’t like it

*2025-11-19, version 1.30.1*

The old version was much better, why do office wallahs have to change what works?

### 1/5 — Poor

*2025-11-18, version 1.30.1*

Gives the option to live track which never works, sometimes stops do not load, only accurate thing is the “expected in…” first bus should take over the rural routes at this point

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-11, version 1.30.1*

This used to be a great little app. After the last update it’s awful. Impossible to navigate and completely unresponsive. Totally unusable now.

### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2025-10-08, version 1.27.0*

Complete waste of time, this has been going on for a couple of years now - when is it going to be sorted out? It’s embarrassing - how do tourists work it when Scots can’t??
Get this fixed!!!
