Abandoned!! Besides texting, this was the best transit app I could find. But when the email to the devs where I asked how to back up fav stops came back undeliverable, came to check and saw that it hasn't been updated since 2017!! Very disappointing and bad that no easy way to transfer all the fav stops I've entered to a new phone that I can see. So sick and tired of apps not all just coming with local backup by default!!

Looks like this app has been abandoned? Because it has stopped updating and map also doesn't work anymore, the time tracker still works however. Unable to get in touch with developer either. Which is too bad... because this is the most simple and very user friendly app compares to other bus tracker apps that I have used before. We have been using this app for years now & we really would like to continue using it.

Really sorry this app is no longer being supported. Best light weight app for bus arrivals. Information for several busses can be displayed at once which is surprisingly useful and a feature not available on similar light weight apps.

Usually app works fine, but once in while it starts glitching and says "sorry, no buses are running at this time" at all stops, which makes it very inconvenient

generally does its job but it hasn't been updated in almost 2 years and won't load the map display for single routes anymore. please update.

A. G. u. Nov 12, 2018     

It does not provide the updated bus routes or stops. New routes still not displaying. New bus stops showing as not existing.

Still the best tracker. Years only, hasn't been updated in so long, but it's still the most accurate GPS for the buses.

It needs timestamps on the schedules so we know when the data was from. if you keep it open after a request you have no ideahow stale the data is.

More accurate than the schedule and the ease of use makes it good for all tech abilities.

Asinine and worthless. It makes YOU search for buslines. Plus, It only accepts stop #'s, not bus route #'s who the hell knows a bus stop number off the top of their head? WASTE OF FREAKING TIME!

It can show me where I am but no bus information. There is a helpful ad, Apartments on Ottawa Canada

ANOTHER IDIOTIC APP FOR AN IDIOTIC BUS COMPANY. KOOL HOW THERE ARE NO SUCH STOPS AS 9882, 9883 & NO SUCH BUS AS AN 18 ST LAURENT/18 PARLIAMENT. IF YOU WERENT PUTTING IN SO MUCH OVERTIME AT MCDONALDS YOU OUGHT TO COME BY & LOOK OUT MY WINDOW, YA MORON!

Not what i need

I have been using this app for last 2 days. This morning it is giving me an error " Make sure you are connected to internet" and then i reinstalled it and permitted it unrestricted internet access still it won't work . and continued displaying that error.Even after rebooting the phone. So i will give 2 stars for 2 days it worked.

I wanna praise this app for its simplicity. It does one job, and does it right: showing you whatever GPS bus data is available using a time table and a map. It doesn't try to be smarter than you, hide you information it thinks is relevant or predict anything for you. It just shows the data in a human readable way, and that's great. Only downside it that sometimes the leafy (google) map doesn't load (restarting the app or the device doesn't help), effectively showing the bus position on a plain grey background. I would give this a 5* if this issue get fixed in the future, the bug really defeats the whole purpose of the app. Please, do something about it this app is too great I don't want to get rid of it!

The map disappeared so I'm testing out other apps. emailed support and it bounced back.

Bah. E. Jan 9, 2018     

This app is useless, it does not filter the busses properly, and GPS focus is not very accurate. There is third party apps that solve these issues. Good luck with the next revision.

FAIL on City of Ottawa part.... Repeatedly tells me I'm not connected to the Internet - but I have unlimited data - so this really shouldn't be a problem! And yes I've checked my settings. Not impressed with new app. Bring back the other app!

Ngh. H. C. Mar 8, 2017     

The app is very helpful and better than others. You can save your favorite stops for future time checking.

Lately the GPS is way off on this app. It regularly shows I have 4, 5, 6 minutes etc only to see the bus fly by my stop. Even after the bus goes by and I refresh, it still shows that it's coming.
