### 3/5 — Can’t see font because of the colour

*2026-03-12, version 1.7.1*

Although information is good I can’t see orange font on black background - especially in bright daylight. I’m usually looking at screen when outdoors at a bus stop 

White font on black would be good

### 1/5 — Zzzz

*2025-10-10, version 1.7.1*

Absolutely not a good app, spend hundreds of thousands to change routes, and not a dollar for the correct operation of the application

### 1/5 — When I move to a different city I can’t access the data

*2025-09-12, version 1.7.1*

Currently I live in Toronto but I still want to track with Winnipeg transit. I cannot access it because there’s no stop near by. Unless I live in Winnipeg! Other apps can but not this one. I really hope the app developers can also do something to give transit fan a chance to access the data outside of Winnipeg Updates from 2025: Recently I went to a relative wedding, their place is on stories road, and that’s not too far away from Mc Philip, but this app somehow can’t track buses even a few 100 meters away from the stop, what the hell is your app? You can’t even track buses while you were in winnipeg! Can’t believe that happened, disappointing, I drop to 2/5 from 3/5 for the rating.

### 1/5 — recent bus changes

*2025-09-11, version 1.7.1*

this used to be on time now it’s either late or too early with the bus schedules.

### 1/5 — NOT ACCURATE!!!

*2025-08-20, version 1.7.0*

Schedule changed since the bus route changed on June 29 but no one update the app！This app is killing me now for always causing me wait for 20min＋ what would happen in Winter？？？？

### 1/5 — Winnipeg transit

*2025-01-09, version 1.6.0*

Bummy bus drivers missing bus stops on purpose

### 5/5 — Works great

*2024-11-27, version 1.6.0*

Works great for me

### 3/5 — Great App, but has few glitches.

*2024-05-29, version 1.6.0*

I think it is one of the best app for Winnipeg Transit, in terms of showing the updated waiting time. 
However, I have been having a big issue recently with my bus stop. It doesn’t show the assigned bus, until there is only 3-4 minutes left, like that bus does come and go, but it is only shown on the app with few minutes left. It has been happening as of this last week, 19 May 2024. 

Please fix this issue, it gets too confusing.

### 2/5 — Not very accurate

*2024-05-14, version 1.6.0*

All was miss match time

### 2/5 — Mislabeling: Inaccurate Bus Timing Notifications

*2024-05-14, version 1.6.0*

This app is definitely an improvement over relying solely on Google to check bus schedules. However, there's a persistent issue in the mornings where the app inaccurately labels buses as 'late' when they're actually on time. The real-time updates often come too late, with the notification appearing only when the bus is four minutes away, leaving little time to catch it.
