When you set a bus alarm to go off five minutes before the bus arrives, common sense would tell you that it should update the alarm if the bus was running late/early/got cancelled. What this app does, however, is set a completely separate alarm whose only data points is the estimated time of arrival when you set it. Missed too many buses to give this anything but one star.

It has difficulty adding stops to favorites and often wipes out my entire favorites list... it also force quits quite frequently. If my favorites don't get erased by the program everything is ok, but too often they do Ao I've downloaded another app

This app features what most CuMtd apps do, but only that. My favorites keep disappearing, the "trip planner" reverts back to the trip options screen when my screen turns off, and the "reverse trip" button just resets the fields instead. It doesn't have all the menu items for each section of the app, so I have to click "back" until I find the home screen. I also don't see an option to default to my favorites when planning a trip, not that I can use it much--my favorites keep disappearing.

I did give it 5 stars, but the latest update deleted some of my stops (silver and fletcher, LAR). Another app "Transit-CUMTD" has all the bus stops, just not as many features.

I like that this app tells you what corner the bus will be at (NW, NE,etc). I wouldn't rely on the clock 100% (buses are unpredictable) but it's a great guide. One suggestion: Add the stop for Gregory & Main Library. It's a very popular stop and it's weird for it not to be included. I wouldn't use it to plan out a trip (I prefer Google Maps for that) BUT if you know what stop you need to go to, it's great for knowing when the bus will come. As a rule of thumb, I'd try to subtract 2-3 minutes from when it says the bus will be there. Missing the bus is no fun, especially if the one you need doesn't come for another 15-30 minutes.

Pulls stop data fine, if you just want to know when buses are coming. Bus tracker is broken, alarm always overestimates bus arrival. Occasionally has connection issues using phone network. Sadly one of the better choices for cumtd apps.

The app is simple to use and works well most of the time. However I've run into a few bugs that, when they happen, really impact my use of the app: *Searching bus stops is buggy. Often, no results show up when I search by the second name in an intersection (e.g. searching for 'Gregory', I get no matches for 'Springfield and Gregory'). This makes me spend much more time searching for stops and makes some stops difficult to find. *I've run into stops that I can't locate with the search function, e.g. Gregory and the Undergraduate Library. I haven't found any search term where this stop shows up in the list (also searched for DKH/David Kinley Hall). It shows up on the 'nearby stops' map, but adding it to my favorites list from there also doesn't work. In any case, the app is pretty well designed and user-friendly, until you run into one of these bigger problems.

This App is very helpful...I use it all time. But it keeps deleting itself and I have to add Stops all over again!!! Its really frustrating and annoying... I depend on this app at a lot. This has been going on for too long. Fix it!! Please and Thanks

I've used this app for years and it's still the best one out there. Don't know why it stopped connecting to the data source for several days but I'm very happy it's back in business.

I don't know if it's the app itself, or the data from CUMTD, but I have learned the hard way not to trust it.

Lea. G. Sep 17, 2016     

There's stops on campus such as "Gregory at Mumford Hall" that are not on the list.

Phooey. At least it was free. Worthless. Transit is much more functional.

Pat. F. Jan 17, 2013     

I no longer trust this app to get me on the bus on time. It seems to be accurate about 50% of the time, and otherwise it wildly predicts when the bus will come. I have missed my bus several times and no longer rely on this app.

Great app with a great interface, but very buggy. Some stops never retrieve data, favorite list rarely works, force closes often etc. samsung galaxy s

Devices without a menu button or an equivalent make it impossible to open the menu. I would like to be able to sync my favorites so I won't have to manually re-add all of them repeatedly.

Li. w. H. Aug 25, 2014     

This app should be updated. There are many missing stops which makes this unreliable

A. G. u. Sep 30, 2014     

Trip planner doesn't work anymore. Also every so often my favorites will be deleted. Fix those 2 things and I'd give it 5 stars

Had trouble with download

Was waiting at stop for a bus 10min away. Then, 4 minutes later it said 6min. Then it showed up seconds later. Clock is way off.

A. G. u. Apr 17, 2012     

This is a nice app, clean interface. Is there a way to allow creation of icons on the android home screen which are each for one bus stop? The point is that there are usually just 3-4 bus-stops an average person might need, and in that case, this reduces one step of navigation.

A. G. u. Mar 16, 2012     

This app makes it easy to look up bus times. And it's fast! Best app out there for CUMTD!

A. G. u. Mar 10, 2012     

I really like this app. Timely info. Intuitive interface. Can add alarms to remind you to catch bus.
