### 3/5 — Useful, but has a lot of bugs

*2026-02-19*

Most of the it’s pretty accurate, if not off by a 2-3 mins at times, but there are times where the schedule isn’t accurate at all. Sometimes I miss my bus because it says none are running at the usual time only for the bus to pass by.

### 3/5 — Good, but limited in all the features

*2020-10-07*

The mail, bus routes and myucdavis sign in works, except that you can’t really go anywhere once you sign into myucdavis. For example, mybill, schedule builder, myawards, and etc. Once you try to login to any of those it would direct you to safari and make you sign in. It’s a hassle really since I’m already signed in on the app. Although it use to work, I really hope the app brings those features back.

### 2/5 — Update Please

*2018-12-04*

An update for this app is long overdue!! So glitchy

### 2/5 — Bus Schedule doesn’t work and App crashes!

*2018-04-04*

I only ever use this app for the bus schedule and I used to love it but now none of the busses or their times show and when I try to click on any bus schedule the app crashes.

### 1/5 — Developers must update

*2018-04-04*

App does not function properly. Never reliable. Need bus times? Good luck. Week 5 of one of my quarters and it still says app is not functioning. Waste of space. Trust me. I don’t write reviews often unless it’s really bad.

### 1/5 — Bus schedule is not working

*2018-02-16*

Why I can’t detect any bus line in the App? It’s not showing anything.

### 1/5 — Can't see the bus schedule

*2018-01-08*

I don't know if it crashed or something. But I can't see any of the bus schedules. Which is the only thing I use this app for. I had the V line as my favorite and it didn't show all the stop times and about 15 minutes later I couldn't see the V line and any other line.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2017-11-01*

Crashes literally every time I try to do anything on it...donc completely useless

### 4/5 — Selecting maps crashes the app

*2017-08-17, version 4.4*

Doesn't fully load and then crashes app

### 2/5 — Great app with bugs

*2017-07-05, version 4.4*

Unitrans portion completely broken.

### 2/5 — Disfunctional

*2017-07-05, version 4.4*

The map no longer shows a realtime bus geolocation. You now have to manually exit the map screen and re-select the bus line over and over again to get positional updates. Otherwise, the bus will appear permanently stopped.

### 2/5 — App Has Issues

*2017-06-12, version 4.3*

It's failing to load the Unitrans schedule. Whenever you're finally able to click on an option the app freezes. Sadly disappointed. It's always been a pretty reliable and useful app.

### 2/5 — Bus update

*2016-12-09, version 4.2.3*

All bus routes say they start from memorial union. Please fix if you can.

### 3/5 — Bus info

*2016-12-05, version 4.2.3*

If your bus information wasn't already broken, this update broke it worse. The only reason I use this app and it has NEVER worked.

### 3/5 — Can't flip screen

*2016-11-06, version 4.2.2*

Nice, but really needs to be able to flip the screen side ways. Also it should give email alerts.

### 2/5 — .

*2016-08-16, version 4.0.2*

It never allows me to log in. It says error.

### 4/5 — Good, but needs improvement

*2016-06-28, version 4.0*

I love the new email tab and automatic log in. However, sometimes it takes forever to load into my email.

### 1/5 — Update broken

*2024-12-24*

I updated the app and it deleted all of my favorites bus stops and won’t display any lines at all. I can’t even add new bus stops to my favorites because none are listed. Completely non functional and useless app

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE FOR BUS

*2022-04-20*

Used this app for tracking bus routes and got stuck on campus due to the schedule saying there were bus ride times that didn’t exist

### 1/5 — Fix night mode!!!!

*2020-05-03*

I have my phone set to night mode and this app will only invert half the colors which makes half of the app unreadable/unuseable. Please make an actual dark mode and fix this!!

### 1/5 — No bus schedule

*2019-01-08*

No bus schedule, no point in using the app

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-10-01*

PLEASE fix the bus schedule on this app. Literally the only reason that anyone uses this app is to have the schedule and it doesn’t even work. This is a consistent problem every year.

### 1/5 — Where’s the bus schedule

*2018-09-30*

The bus schedule doesn’t work. That’s one of the main reasons why I had this app and now I’m really disappointed. This should be fixed!!!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-09-27*

This use to be helpful for bus schedules, viewing your courses, and so much more. Nothing seems to work now. Please fix it!

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2018-06-30*

Used to work well but now it constantly crashes and resources are either not updated or not working. Used to use it for bus times and mapping to my classes but the app has become incredibly glitchy and impossible to use.

### 1/5 — Missing Bus Schedules

*2018-04-05*

Bus schedule has been missing since the last couple of weeks of Winter quarter.

### 1/5 — No Bus Schedule

*2018-04-05*

I really only used this app to view the bus schedule and times and now I can’t even do that. It showed the list of lines but was telling me non of the them were in service so I deleted the app and redownloaded, now it’s not even showing the list of lines, just a blank screen. Needs to be fixed immediately.

### 5/5 — good

*2019-11-08*

Almost all functions in need are in one application.
Compared to my college in China, we have many apps required to download which is a huge burden of my old-fashion iphone 4:)

### 5/5 — The best university app I've ever seen. Go keeping up.

*2017-03-25, version 4.3*

The best university app.

### 5/5 — VERY HANDY!!!!!!

*2016-09-28, version 4.1*

Helped me getting around school as a new Transfer Student. Hard to find classes sometimes, but it does get you near the place.

### 5/5 — UCDavis

*2015-11-30, version 3.4.2*

This is an amazing app. Reliable and always convenient.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-11-07, version 3.4.1*

I am glad that I got this app. It is very convenient and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2013-10-28, version 2.3.0*

Lets you search for any specific building and pulls it up on the map for you, along with operating hours for the dining commons.  Every freshman should get this

### 5/5 — Great help to parents as well

*2013-09-03, version 2.3.0*

Helpful app for students,  especially those new to the campus. Very helpful for me (a parent) as well. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2013-06-04, version 2.3.0*

Use it all the time to check the menus of the DCs and if you don't know the school very well you can search for any building with the app and you can all check your school email, so it's pretty handy

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2013-04-01, version 2.2.2*

I'm so lucky to have this my first year as a transfer! The map definitely saved me more than once because it's a huge campus. Only issue I've had is smartsite being a little slow, but other than that, it's perfect!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2013-03-21, version 2.2.2*

Mostly use it for bus schedule (it will be better if it includes final schedule) and email (it would be better if it has notification setting). Also use it for smartsite and sisweb sometimes. Love it!
