AWFUL NOW Have used this for over 2 years and loved it. have just paid for another year. won't work at all. Just constantly telling me to check wifi connection. Nothing ever wrong with wifi or data away from home. Can't do anything at all with it. Even yellow arrows for bus stops have completely disappeared. Although not much money to pay for ghe yearly upgrade I've no idea how to have it refunded. Simply the principle of the thing ...
Used to be excellent, but last update was over 4 years ago and it no longer works properly. Frequently says the time is 0000 (it's not!) and that there are no buses (there are). Seems no way to fix these problems other than closing the app down and try another day. Even today when it was working, i tried searching for buses after 7pm and it failed on this task. Bit of a shame when you've paid for the app. On the plus side, the database it uses to search place names seems to have been improved.
It tells me to check my wireless settings. Nothing wrong with them. It cannot get data. I am uninstalling and will try a reinstall but I've already wasted a lot of time on this. I hope it will reinstall my journeys, etc. Same problem on reinstall. No use when you need it.
I would have given less than 1 star if possible! The app no longer works, full stop, and there is no reply from the 'developer '. Don't touch with the proverbial bargepole.
Having paid for this app which is active until September 2021 I've discovered that no data connection could be established on both my devices. Every other app works perfectly except Bus Scout
Have used this app snd relied on it completely and would have been 5 stars but now I can't get any information at all so it is now useless. I'm not the only one who is disappointed notbto get any halp to resolve the problems soit seems it's uninstall time
Uninstalled as you pay for 12 months then another 12 months. I'll stick with one that's a one off payment for life and just as good.
Keep saying no data connection could be established. Tried to email them but it bounces. Totally useless do not buy.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME as can't get any thing on this app I want my money back as payed for a years subscription for the bus and trains departures but getting nothing now Used to be good but awful now going to delete now
Love it so simple and is now working again. Great. Just paid for another year. There is no app as simple and so comprehensive. A joy to use.
A good app but seems to no longer work, it reports no internet connection when there is one.
No updates for 4 years and bus times are wrong. However it's still charging for this incorrect information.
It finds a map then is obsessed with check settings and won't find the bus stops or buses.
It seems support for this app has ceased. It no longer works and needs to be avoided.
Was a really good app, now doesn't work, TMU seem to have abandoned it. Using another free app.
This app seems to have stopped working after years of superb service.
App no longer works just a door stopper don't waste time downloading
Very rubbish does not work on newer phones
Loved this app till one day I check for bus "no internet connecrion" even in home on wifi it comes up,so I suppose I'm ripped off for my subscription I paid for
notice this app is now working again has it been updated as i would purchase again
Not Good The App Isnt Opening Now And Crashes And Shuts Down
Not working with newer android
This app is not working.
Well subs now due and I'm not renewing until improvements are made. A lot of the info for Rotherham is wrong, some bus stops have vanished (I still use them) some have no departures ( i.e. our new interchange) while apparently buses still leave our old one which is a building site
I've had this app ever since it's launch and it has always worked amazingly. I rely on it daily for the bus times in my area. For the month or so, none of the stop times work, saying I have no data connection, no matter how good my connection is, I've even tried connecting on Wi-Fi and I get the same result. I sent a communication to you about 2 weeks ago about this issue, but it's still not working. Such a shame as this was an amazing app
Update Sep 2019 .. no route info available message for every stop and messages to developer bounced back. No longer usable and after many years use have to give up and stop paying. Was best travel app on market except when it fell over last time .. what a shame
The App no longer works. Bus times are not shown, even if you have a subscription. Requests for help go unanswered because the email inbox is full (presumably from lots of people who have found the App no longer works. It doesn't work at all on Android 10, appearing for a fraction of a second before disappearing into the ether. Roger Hill
