This app really missing an option for exporting/importing you favorite bus stops. When you change phones your stops are gone, you have to save all of them again.
not accurate/update time too slow. There are 2 bus lines on my way to work, one is exress another is local, 3 mins ago the estimate time is 3 mins for the local and 12 mins for the express, during all these 3mins, it's stays like this, but 3mins later it's 3mins for the local and 1 mins for the express. It probably is no big deal for the developer, but I missed the express bus.
I have tested others transit apps....this one it really works.... good timing with the buses, I will say stress free... It needs the towards to at the line search results
A very good app that is usually accurate. Arrival times are closs, though some minutes may be described as biblical ones.
Good buy Bus Checker. Today, for my bus route you are not giving me the real time but the bus schedule on the bus route that is all the time late. So what is the point of using you. Deleting this App.
I find bus checker to be convenient, accurate and helpful. couldn't be more please.
widget doesn't work since latest update. I have tried to remove from homescreen and added it again, still doesn't work.
Widget works again!! Review is back to 5 stars again. Love this app, very accurate and a must need if you use the buses in NY
It prevents me from waiting for buses for long periods.
Very inconsistent, good on some stops but horrible on most
This is the best app to get real-time information as to where exactly your but is.
very reliable and accurate
The times given are always accurate.
it works to find at what time the bus arrives. which is all that i want from this app
To go to work the B 47 in the morning is always on time.
Great on time reporting for the bus
Great App to Install and Use Now Thank You
Times are consistently off.
Used to be good. Lately it doesnt work.
best bus app for NYC
It's beautiful to have love it
Real time info
Very much appreciated
It's good to have
the best of the best
I've had great luck with this app in New York City for over 6 years, but now the arrivals are posted SOMETIMES real time, or just the standard MTA arrivals posting. What happened? Also support email is incorrect. 🤔
Very confusing
this app isn't consistent. There are times when it does not give you the times of certain buses or certain ones that are heading in a particular direction. it is out of sync at times. had to download a more efficient bus app.
it works with 80% success of prediction to schedule... meaning, 80% of the time the bus will be there on the time its predicted (at least for my buses), so very well worth it. i dont think theres a better more comfortable app to use for this. so been using it for years.
