## OneBusAway Reviews in United States

### ***** "Only app worth having in DC"
This is the only app that actually knows when buses are coming in DC, about down to the minute. I love this app!
-- Carrie.Schmaus, 2025-06-24

### ***** "Loveeee it"
i loveee this app, always helping me get to my bus ontime which is convenient for school
-- mlaiiii, 2025-06-15

### ***** "Better than Transit"
I've had this app for a long time, and I can say that it is so much better than the Transit app. OneBusAway gives me a lot of features to track my bus and when it's expected to arrive at my stop for free. It's really helpful for me to know the road number of a certain bus, especially that I'm a transit enthusiast and can identify most buses around the San Diego area. And I like that this app is even recommended by Metropolitan Transit System themselves.
-- Ethan Wood 2, 2025-05-30

### *---- "No more notifications?"
OneBusAway has been a crucial part of my Seattle commutes for almost a decade now. It’s always been useful, but the most important part has been getting notifications and reminders for when my busses are due to arrive. But now that functionality no longer exists?

Now when I select a bus from a stop, there just flat out isn’t any “Add Reminder” option. Part of the convenience of this app was being able to set those alarms and go about my day without having to check the bus stop schedules.

I’ve been trying to find documentation but I haven’t been able to find anything that indicates a change to notifications. And I can’t find anything that bug report page on OBA’s website.

So either this is a change that massively kills the functionality of the app. Or this is an innocent bug but with no transparent way to flag the issue for the developers. Either way, it’s frustrating.
-- Shootthemoon126, 2025-05-01

### *---- "always having some sort of error"
Hard to use, outdated
-- .ł, 2025-04-29

### ***** "Must-have for Seattle-area transit"
I’ve been using this app for over a decade now, and I love it! Sure, it’s not the flashiest app and definitely isn’t the fanciest interface but it’s extremely functional, and once you learn the difference between scheduled/not real time buses versus the ones with live tracking data, it makes all the difference. Knowing a bus is going to be several minutes late has saved me from unnecessary sprinting on many occasions. This app is totally volunteer-run and I highly encourage those who are able to donate. It’s a really valuable public service that is not currently being provided by the local transit agencies. Kudos to everyone behind maintaining and updating this app, I can’t imagine getting around without it anymore!
-- KeyesRM, 2025-04-18

### *---- "Doesn’t work on the iPad"
It works fine on my iPhone, but doesn’t work at all on my iPad. The app opens, but shows no stops, in app navigation buttons may or may not show.  Apple Maps is a better choice for the iPad.
-- Deep River, 2025-03-19

### ***-- "Alarm function?"
Where the F did the alarm functionality go?! That was the best part of this app. Also recently it’s said buses hadn’t come yet that had already left the stops. What’s going on?
-- Freddi, 2025-03-02

### ****- "Apple Watch support?"
Love the app,  but Apple Watch support would be so helpful!
-- EnochAndrews, 2025-01-20

### **--- "Unusable after Update"
Used to be a good app. Relied on it multiple times a week, several times a day. After the recent update, the estimate times are COMPLETELY off. The app is pointless if the times are wrong and you’re 30 min early or 10 min late. It’s true for all stops in 2 different transit counties. I’m about to trash it if they can’t get the estimates back to even a little bit close.
-- UrbanDoe, 2024-12-29

### *---- "Bus Stops not Showing on Map"
I downloaded the app today, 12/24/24. I turned on location but no bus stops showed on the map. WiFi was on since I was at home. There is a bus stop 3 houses away from me. I typed in the route number and street intersection. No bus stops showed on map. Went to next bus stop to transfer. Checked app again. I’m literally standing next to bus stop. Still no bus stops show on map, even after typing in stop number. App was of no help while I was out and about. Looked at app again tonight while at home, the bus stops are showing now. If it doesn’t work the next time I need to use bus, I will be deleting app. I’ll use paper schedules, look online or call transit information. I gave the app a 1 since the bus stops finally appeared on map.
-- Lymahazz, 2024-12-25

### *---- "No routes"
I downloaded it and followed instructions but the app shows no buses. It insists the route doesn’t have nearby stops — even when I’m on the bus for the route listed.
-- deek1234, 2024-11-24

### *---- "One bus away"
Why are they asking for a credit card, and it’s supposed to be free.  And I can’t get the app .
-- Dee-504, 2024-10-29

### ****- "Error message"
The app isn’t working correctly could you please fix it. It keeps giving me an error message.
-- Cathy 4645, 2024-10-28

### **--- "Doesn’t Update Auotmatically"
I have to manually refresh the app. It doesn’t automatically update the location of the bus.
-- R. Acker, 2024-10-17

### **--- "Just not reliable"
Way too often the live info about arrivals and departure times quits working and you just get the static schedules

Transit is a much much better app
-- Hemulen52, 2024-10-12

### *---- "Horrible glitch"
The app is having trouble telling me when the bus is coming. The times are usually green but everything is white and it’s not very accurate. Is this a glitch or what?
-- David heidhsh, 2024-10-09

### *---- "Where’s my transit system?"
I live in one the largest cities in my state and your app claimed we have no transit system. Laughably useless app.
-- LindseyAllyn, 2024-10-08

### *---- "Not accurate"
I don’t understand why this app is never accurate. It always gives wrong bus arrival time.  It is not like the information is not there because the other app, Transit, always provides very accurate bus arrival time. This could be a great app if the developer can integrate it with the available information.
-- yg717, 2024-09-11

### *---- "Useless app"
Wouldn’t load the routes or stops near me.
-- I don’t care what my name is, 2024-08-04
