The app started not working

Recently they show no departures especially during the early mornings. This occurs most of the time, making my life so hard. Could you please fix this? It’s been going on for a while

The app started not working

This app was very useful and the most accurate so far. But recently they stopped showing any arrivals for certain stops, including most of the stops on teal line at least. Could you fix this issue?

Bus not showing since a few weeks

I don’t know why but since a couple of weeks ago, a bus in the yellow line going north is not showing. There’s suppose to be two buses every hour (so every 30 minutes) but one is not showing. The bus is there because I take it every week.

About timeliness

Sometimes when I saw the bus was in 3 mins and I waited the bus just flashed from one side to the other of the map and I couldn’t see one at the stop. It’s weird

Update is bad

Please change it back to before, the new update sucks and app doesn’t work properly.

New Update caused more issues

The new update is terrible and I don’t know how anyone thought it was a good idea to do this… the old version worked fine, and now the “live update” of buses is constantly wrong, telling me a bus has passed or some just disappearing when I see it come to the stop minutes later. It’s also frustrating that when i refresh, the map zooms in.

[updated] New update removed all the best features

update: thankfully the developer responded to our feedback and brought the features back!

This was by far the best transit app for uiuc, but my phone automatically updated it last night and it got rid of everything that made it good. Now the screens are very cluttered, the bus routes don’t show the stops, they don’t show your location, and there’s no manual refresh. Please roll back this update :(

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for using UIUC Bus and thank you for your feedback! Please update to version 4.3.0 which has a bunch of fixes, including refresh and pins for each stop on the bus route. Thanks again and let me know if you have any other feedback!

No refresh feature

The refresh feature for bus times was removed in the update, so now when you click on a bus stop you cant see whether the busses are coming closer or not

Horrible Update

This used to be the best bus app. I just don’t get the changes, why would I not want to see the stops on my bus route and instead be forced to guess? Why wouldn’t I want to refresh the location of the bus I’m looking at, or better yet the bus I’m on? Why wouldn’t I want to see my location on the map? I can go on, but you get my point. Also I lost all mu favorited stops. If this update doesn’t go back I’ll have to switch to the transit app, i heard it was better anyways.

keeps crashing

the app keeps crashing whenever i try and view the route of a bus on the map, the old version was just fine :(

Terrible update

This app didn’t need any fancy updates, I used it for its accuracy and ease-of-use and now they ruined it please go back

Crashes after update

All favorites are gone and crashes when a stop is selected. Unusable as of now and I really need this to get around campus! Why did you fix what was never broken? Reinstalling made it work but still I cannot see long station stop names and my stop can only be distinguished at the end. Terrible update.

downgrade

The app before the update was perfectly fine …

The Update is Terrible

There is way too much in the app now and it can’t even see your location

Bad update

Horrible display after the update.

New update :(((((

This new update is absolutely awful, it is so much less user friendly and I cannot even stand to look at it. From the ad at the bottom of the screen to the tiny bus map, no refresh feature, no bus stops being shown on the map, and it not showing your location, this update was a complete downgrade. The last version was perfect and I really hope the last version gets restored. Until then, I will be using apple maps to get me around.

Hi, thank you for using UIUC Bus and thank you for your feedback! Please update to version 4.3.1 which includes a bunch of fixes including showing your location, refreshing the bus location, and refreshing departures / routes. Thanks again and let me know if you have any other feedback!

Horrible update

Loved this app but new update is terrible. It doesn’t show you the location of the stops anymore or give you the option to easily refresh the bus location. The timing of the bus location also seems to be much less accurate. Also the map just looks way too busy now, it shows too much information like all I need is the street names and where my stop is I don’t need to know all of this extra nonsense clogging up the page.

please change it back

New ui

Hello i much rather prefer the old ui of the app compared to this one. It was very simply to use and was not busy with unnecessary elements. Oddly, ive also found this one to have worse connection and accuracy in terms of location and quick results.
