### 1/5 — Failed to load data

*2024-11-04*

App worked fine until recently now i get this failed to load data message and reinstalling doesn't fix it...Will give 5stars once the issue is fixed

### 3/5 — It became borderline unusable…

*2024-10-28, version 3.11.1*

It was incredibly handy up until recently. It’s not loading the data and keep saying “failed to load data”
I can’t properly check the routes now which is not the most convenient as I rely on the buses to get to and from work daily. I even checked my partner’s app on his phone and it said the same thing. 
Hopefully there could be a proper update to further rectify the error. 
As of right now I can’t see any of the routes and details not even the schedule on there.

### 4/5 — Update with Belleayre Express route for winter 2024
