Good app and really helpful but not user friendly even for an IT man! Adding to favourites is really hard and complex! Hard to add a line. Hard to find the bus stop on the map. Not showing your current location on the map. The first tab of favourite is bus instead od stop. And lots of other things that make the user experience worst. You need to revamp the whole UX with new designs.

GPS is an excellent feature as well as letting riders know what type of bus is coming. my only complaint is that at transit centres like Tunney's the schedule for my bus takes so long to load that i have yet to see it work for my commute home. Rather than trying load all busses running through the stop jist load the route requested. otherwise great app!

I used this for about a month until I missed my bus completely due to it saying the bus was arriving in 3 minutes when it was 3 minutes early. I thought it was using the GPS info, but I'm guessing it doesn't. This was the only purpose I wanted it for, otherwise I would just use the timetable. It often wouldn't load bus stop information and bus times. Would often not display all bus lines that came to the stop. Not intuitive to use.
