## RideMETRO Reviews in United States

### *---- "no longer works"
app keeps crashing!!
-- KarmaQueen39784, 2024-11-20

### *---- "App keeps crashing after update"
This app keeps crashing. Can’t look at any routes at all.
-- HannahBananah3, 2024-11-20

### **--- "App needs to be fixed"
The Ridemetro was good but not until it was acting up.
-- Mikehenry0315, 2024-11-15

### *---- "New update broke the app"
This app used to be pretty good, but this new update has made it unusable. Initially I had issues with finding my bus schedule, but now my route doesn’t show up at all when I search for it.
-- KatanaNinja, 2024-11-04

### *---- "Last Update Broke the app"
It was a 5/5 stars until the last update broke the app
-- El Author, 2024-10-24

### **--- "Real bad"
This is a bad app the bus schedules are never right
-- toluca89, 2024-09-25

### **--- "Hit or Miss"
It’s extremely hot or miss whether or not the app is going to display the bus on the route properly. Half the time the “real-time” bus is literally not on the map, so you just have to guess if it’s actually coming. I’ve also had multiple times where real time estimate for arrival is 10 minutes out, and then the bus teleports and arrives the next minute. If I can’t trust the real time estimate may as well not put it there. To me it seems like this app has a serious problem with actually tracking the busses, either because the busses themselves have bad hardware, drivers aren’t sending updates, or connectivity issues. At the end of the day it’s not reliable which is a big problem
-- Sum. User, 2024-07-03

### *---- "Unite the Apps"
One app for everything, it’s how every other major city with public transit does it. Get it together Houston Metro.
-- mirahsan2, 2024-06-22

### **--- "Never seems to work"
I have iPhone 12 mini and most of the time, the app shows there is no service when there clearly are bus routes near where I want to board the bus. It also will only show one arrival when clearly I'm near a bus stop.
-- abnationphilip, 2023-10-10

### ****- "Good but can be better"
Great visualizations of local routes, but should also include Park & Ride Routes. Ideally, this should be combined with the QTicketing app to have a 1 stop app.
