Recently stopped working, db won't update, anyway most stops haven't changed but the App won't find them. E g. most stops for route 27 (Dublin Bus displays them correctly). Edit: I confirm the app is working well again. 5 stars for the effort. Thanks. P.S.: I once used the feedback link inside the app, but got ignored :)
The only thing I do not like with the app is: since the 76 busses changed over I have noticed that when I time one it would either arrive much earlier than it should (I end up missing it) or not arrive at all. This is the reason for giving it the 4 star's 🌟 but other than that I do recommend downloading the app.
If your only function is realtime. You should probably be able to get it right. Times for buses bounce all over the place. been using it for a month and using it to time the most predictable bus routes and you still cant rely on it. In fact it actually hinders you because of the sudden changes.
Worked fine for a while (not accurate all the time), but I haven't been able to get information on any of my local buses for at least a week now. Even if I see the bus arriving at the station, the app still shows nothing. Google Maps has proven more accurate, so I'm using that instead.
much better than rhe Dublin Bus app. very responsive which is vitally important for an app of this nature. it has all the features I can think of and the ability to rename stops is great as I can rename stops across the road from one another and not need to remember the stop number. class app.
This app is giving the wrong information... Saying the bus is due now when in actual fact it's not due for 10 minutes. Also busses are arriving at the stops which are not showing up on this app at all. I've used this app for a long time now, and only recently it has started providing the wrong information. Usually it is very reliable.
Excellent app, does exactly what I need and has the option to favourite stops, which the other app got rid of. The bus alarm is great too. Arrival times are vert accurate too, if only the buses themselves arrived on time.
Very useful and much user friendly tha real DB app. There is a favourite tab, search and news tab. on the search tab you can type the bus number, address or bus stop which is very handy. It shows both Dublin bus AND TFI buses on it whereas Dublin Bus app won't show 17a on it since it's been taken over by TFI, which is great for me as I usr the 17a bus and their real time info isn't properly up and running yet. The news tab just has recent tweets from Db and TFI.
Superb app - especially now since the excellent Dublin Bus app no longer support 17 & others that have been taken over by TFI (TFI app of course is spectacularly useless!). In fact this app continues to provide projected arrival times even when Dublin Bus being upgraded or having maintenance. Criticisms about unpredictable bus times while valid have NOTHING to do with the developers because that's all up to TFI. Tiny payment of 1.99 absolutely worth the price - thank you Developer!
Timings are almost accurate, and they even have some specific routes which are missing in the Dublin Bus app. BUT, the server is down atleast once or twice in a week, urgently when I go and check a bus from the stop. It says a Retry.
67 is an absolute joke. Time on app not accurate at all for it, standing around at the bus stop for more than half an hour, 67 has went off the app 20 minutes ago yet like 3 unschesuled 66 showed up. Need to sort out the 67 as it's causing a lot of inconvenience
"The real time service is currently unavailable" I didn't download this app to be late at work or any other place I have to be at an fixed hour. It also repeated the problem multiple times! Until you fix it you have 2 stars from me!
Loved it but now it's saying no busses are calling for stops 145 stops into town. When a friend I was with check the TFI app it have real time data so switching to that one. Pity because I prefer this app's layout.
Used to work great. But is of no use for over a month since now I am getting the No buses were found error when I select my stop. It is working for some stops, but bot the stops I want. Update - it works after the update
More than once the app showed buses that either never came or were not on time. I can't seem to be able to just pick the stop by near me as well. Once I figure this out I'll change my review.
Great app. Easy to use and reliable. Having the option to set a reminder when your bus is a certain time away is terrific.
On some stops that I use there is no way to tell what bus is coming for example 41, 41b If it is possible to be able to add which bus is exactly coming (ie where they originate from) I would be over the moon. Love the app been using it ever since I found it.
It's been a great app to be honest and only let me down once on Patrick's day as there was diversions but the app still told me the bus was due .it would be good if it gave information on diversions .
Absolute legend of an app. FAR better than the official app both in design and functionality Only thing that would stop me from making it 5 stars would be publication in Fdroid (would be extra sound of the Dev, not that he isn't already) I am thinking about getting a phone that runs Ubuntu Touch in the future, so if he wants to be extra EXTRA sound (I know I am just being cheeky at this stage)
no good, presumes you already know the routes. e.g. couldn't find a bus to Dublin Zoo, because apparently no bus goes there, doesn't come up with alternative buses, combined routes with other means of public transport, like Luas or Dart.
Used new app once and bus times were wrong so ended up missing a bus and having to wait for ages. Kept changing the time of next bus so could not rely on it. Where has official Dublin bus app gone as that used to work great but not on Google play any longer
App is great. Perfect to the minute. And have never had a problem. Able to get across the city so fast because i can see exact times
Great app, use it on a daily basis to go to work and pick up my daughter. Unfortunately though, the past 2 days not one bus stop or timetable has worked properly on the app, it just says no buses were found. I've tried updating the bus routes through the app and I tried reinstalling the app also but still no times appear. A fix for this would be great as the official bus app is really bad and this one has a lot of handy features.
