Not helpful for tourists
One would expect an app like this to be helpful for travelers - finding bus routes connecting one location to another. But no. Why not create an app that will allow me to figure out how to get from my lodging to the airport tomorrow? Why not create an app that would allow you to plan a route from one POI to another? Or back to my hotel/AirBnB/whatever? This doesn’t do any of that. It only shows you the circuit that buses travel and where the buses currently are. That’s fine for what it is, but doesn’t do me, a first-time visitor to Geneva, any good.
Excellent offline functionality
I was looking for an app for an American friend that will work offline and found this. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because the search function is not very sophisticated. It is also a bit disconcerting not to have a menu but it isn’t very hard to figure out how it works if one has a basic understanding of timetables and travel apps.
Not useful for non-natives
I downloaded it as a tourist in Switzerland but there's no instructions on how to use it. For example, I search for Felsberg in Luzern and it showed that there is only one bus (No 7) there. That's easy to understand. From that point onwards things become confusing. I tap the Luzern, Felsberg button and it shows a map at the top and a list of entries at the bottom. What do they mean? No instructions. Some rows have a NOW or DEPARTED tagged to it, which I think means that a bus 7 has reached or left the station. Is that correct? I don't know. And which station are we talking about? Felsberg or Unterlochli? Again, it's unclear.
Pretty useful
Used it extensively in Zurich, and it was very helpful with planning. There seems to be a problem with the new version however -- the map doesn't load.
