i've never had any real serious issues with this app and have been using it since i was 16 taking the bus and trolley around SD, not sure about other locations that it covers but it's on point and a must use if your in this area, almost ten years since i have first download and used this application, definitely doesn't equate to all the bad reviews left from people, this app has saved me tons of time.
And they weren’t with Apple Maps…

App Deserves More Praise
I’ve used this app on and off over the years it tends to be accurate enough in several cities I’ve lived in. Let’s be real: Even the official time estimates at the fancy bus stops are sometimes dead wrong. I just don’t want to wait 30 minutes for a bus to never show, so I can make good decisions about whether to wait or not.
And that’s what this app does. It’s an alternative to Google that is accurate enough, and Google Maps has gone kind of downhill lately itself. One Bus Away even has an Apple Watch app!

Mess
Worst app for public transit. It doesn’t work sometimes whether you’re on WiFi or fully supported with your internet provider. The most annoying thing in Tampa is when you see the “scheduled/not real arrival.” HART needs to do better.
Worthless Junk
This used to be a good app. Now it’s a dumpster fire. I’m not sure what happened, but I will not be using this anymore.
negative arrival times
for weeks and weeks now the app shows negative arrival times for my routes. like -736283836. i'm guessing this is because of reroutes. but, 1) please please work with the transit agencies to get meaningful route info even in the face of reroutes. i'm asking king county metro as well. 2) handle whatever data you're getting better than showing "-38373839".
It works. Except when it doesn't.
The basic functions are well-conceived. However:
Alerts are mostly useless. You open the information. And the first thing you get is a long string of alerts. You hit one of them, and there's likely nothing having anything to do with the bus you are waiting for. When you tap one of those, you end up with a long list of every route affected by anything.
If it's a busy stop downtown, you might have to scroll through 30 or 40 of these just to get to your current bus statuses.
Meanwhile, the current status may show that your bus is coming in real time. Then you look again, and are informed that it already left.
Is it too much to ask that an alert affecting a particular line show up on the line in question?
Sometimes you will get a "scheduled, not real time" status. Sometimes the bus comes, sometimes it doesn't. I just assumed that the bus isn't coming when I see it.
Basic information is extremely difficult to find
To this day I have yet to figure out how to find out the most important info I want to use this app for: when is the next bus on my route coming? I understand not every app will have stellar design, but when I can’t find the most critical info, I just am not going to continue trying to use it. :(
Useless
Useless app. Horrible user interface. Can’t find any route information.
