## Translink Reviews in Australia

### **--- "Why?"
This app seems to be completely useless. It adds about 1 useful feature compared to the older translink app. The via feature, which bearly works in the first place, having to set silly filters in order for the trip you want to show up (that’s if it does at all). The app has frequent errors that the only solution is to restart the app. This app even removes the feature of being able to set exact start and end addresses. I search an address and it doesn’t show up, I use the my current location feature and it sets the address to somewhere 400m away from me. App can’t even be used to navigate me from QUT campus to roma street then beyond. Only way to really use the app is to have your start and end address be exact station or stop names.

All this has me asking, what even was the point in creating this app? Seems like they just abandoned it as some of my complaints have been said the day the app came out. I get they made the app to implement live location of services feature, but that was already half in the old app. 

The developers should put in a small amount of work to bring this app up to being one of the best state transport apps.

### ****- "A bit laggy"
It’s a good app, however can sometimes be a bit laggy. Nonetheless, it’s a great app.
-- I like usernicknames, 2025-02-13

### *---- "Pathetic"
You should be ashamed of yourselves for spending public money on this weak attempt. 
Utterly pathetic.
-- Burfot, 2025-01-30

### ***-- "“Real time” claims remain untrue in this app"
If I could count the number of times the app has told me that the next bus isn’t for ~17? minutes and I start walking towards my destination only to see not one but two of the right buses go past me 2 minutes later, it’d reach into the dozens. Clearly the app is NOT tracking all “real time data”, it’s tracking buses that should’ve left within the window that you are looking for but isn’t counting the delays the buses experience. This is really getting tiresome, given the excellent GPS info, AI tech and tracking devices available to us now. Please just identify all the buses within the area regardless of what the timetable says they should be doing.
-- Mc.outside, 2024-11-17

### **--- "Inaccurate times"
I find this app is always a minute or 2 out. I hate it. The old one is more accurate.
-- 350/352 user, 2024-10-28

### **--- "Address the Problem - Security Concetn"
Might be good one day but rubbish at present. Try to plan a journey and it continually wants access to my contacts as soon as you attempt to put in a destination. Even when using settings it tries to access the address book.
-- Countrylad58, 2024-10-24

### ***** "Amazing!"
I love this app. Much better than the previous app. Great UI, and helpful information!
-- sourapplepie, 2024-10-04

### ***-- "Icon"
Can you please make the logo a bit smaller like the MyTranslink app, this version is too big and it’s not visually appeasing, and really messing with my other apps
--  001, 2024-09-17

### **--- "Timetable??"
Cannot find timetables. Real time planning ok but many of us plan journeys by scanning timetable stop times. Finding stops nearby seems to overwhelm the common logic of service lookup.

Why on earth do you put colour behind route numbers - eg the pink under bus - there is already a pink icon to show it’s a bus but the route number is not readable at all making it useless; just leave them on the white background
-- Hammer in Oz, 2024-09-09

### ***-- "Looks like a sports car, drives like a tank"
This app is visually a great improvement from the old but the information is fiction. Standing on a quiet street and it shows several buses going past. Zero reliability
-- african expat, 2024-09-06

### ***** "Awesome App"
Very Responsive and good performance overall
-- Mr Timoteo, 2024-09-03

### **--- "Still missing features"
No Watch app, when I’m rushing for the service I don’t want to keep pulling my phone out , I want to raise my wrist….need inspiration look at the NextThere app.

No go card integration, how can this still be missing 10yrs on, the delays of smart ticketing on the buses means people still have to use go cards. 

2 out of 5 stars as it is an improvement over the (old) myTranslink app, but not hard to beat that app at 1 star.
-- b311e&amp;TheChad, 2024-09-01

### ***-- "Good so far, but…"
Love the improvements, but it would be awesome to have widgets and a watch app for it as well! I would also love the ability to construct and save custom trips rather than just using journey planner please! 🙏🏻 Live Lock Screen updates on iOS would also be super useful!
-- Daniel (they/them), 2024-08-30

### ***-- "Address database seems undercooked"
The address search function needs work. When you try and search for a specific address to update home and work favourites, the results returned are too general. Almost like it’s tuned for stops rather than specific addresses. It wouldn’t return any addresses I tried, while the old app returns them instantly. So possibly it’s a new incomplete database or the search function is bugged.
-- AUS_Jamin, 2024-08-28

### **--- "Needs Favourite Timetable To Save"
Good app but missing being able to save your favourite timetables like the old app. 

Also arrivals &amp; departures should be named inbound &amp; outbound
-- DamoBris, 2024-08-28

### *---- "Wouldn’t bother, download something else"
TransLink has had so long to make a decent app, this version is no better than their prior woeful app. It’s ugly, cluttered, hard to read and missing many features that most other transit apps offer as standard. TransLink please do better, this time do some user research and focus on user experience through the design.
-- Dwb_dwb_dwb, 2024-08-28

### ***-- "A fresh start but…"
Some feedback to start you off on Day 1 of this app’s release:

Home tab: Nearby Stops module is a map view, but it doesn’t let you resize the zoom view. This is ok when you are in a area with a few stops/services around you but practically useless in an area with heaps of stops/services (eg middle of the Queen St Mall) since all the markers basically are on top each other. Tapping the map takes you to a big map of course which you can zoom in to (with lag) but if i had the zoom level adjusted to my preference in the first place then i wouldn’t have to tap at all.

Plan tab: need a Clear All (or Reset) button  to clear both the Start and Destination fields at the same time.  It is mildly annoying to see my previous search terms in those fields when trying to work out where to go from and to

Other: Is there a way to mark a particular service/route as a favourite? I don’t mean a stop or a saved plan, but an actual bus number for instance.  eg from a particular stop I might prefer taking bus ABC because it almost always has a seat for me at the time I catch it rather than bus XYZ which is almost always standing room only when it arrives at the same platform.  In the old app I could choose to display only my saved favourite bus routes so I could easily see when my desired bus was coming without having to search for it specifically
-- Falling through the blue, 2024-08-28

### ***** "Best real-time app for commuters"
This app is absolute necessity. Its very straightforward and easy to check schedules. I love the real time updates on train arrivals, thanks for making this which was essential for daily travels.
-- AmnT68, 2024-08-28

### ****- "Much improved over previous MyTranslink App, but further improvements needed"
It would be helpful to have the ability to search or filter specific bus routes. For instance, at Queen Street Bus Station, while you can see all buses arriving and departing, there’s no option to select a particular platform or route, making it difficult to focus on the buses that are relevant to you.
-- joeecccc, 2024-08-28

### ****- "Better than My Translink"
This app is a vast improvement over the last one. That said, it could use some accessibility tweaks to make it easier for a blind person to understand and use, but it’s an excellent start and usable with a little patience.
