Great app for a trash service
By Nicky.kleess (Pcmac user)
This app is essential for bus travel in New York. Compared to the service itself, this app would be like 25 stars compared to the 1 that is the service itself. Don’t get me wrong, it has its benefits, but the the app service is a very flawed one. The the app has five problems: there aren’t enough busses, some busses run late / they run on a different schedule, they’re never clean (seriously one bus I was on smelt like someone’s sphincter exploded all over the floor!), some drivers have a serious attitude problem (this one is rare but it depends on your bus), and this service is way too expensive for what you get in return ($2.75 per ride really piles up over time). If you don’t have the app, get it. The only issues I have are that sometimes the time will be inaccurate for a bus while the distance is accurate and sometimes a bus won’t be marked on the map. Seriously, GET IT.

Essential for NYC bus riders
By tcs3600 (Pcmac user)
This app gives the distance and approximate time until arrival for any bus stop. It's fast and accurate (except for the few buses with broken GPS). The arrival time is adjusted for traffic conditions. You can search for nearby stops, add from a map, or search for text, and you can save favorite stops. I use this every day and it has never crashed.
Room for improvement: the bus stop names should signify the direction of travel so you don't have to use trial and error to find the one you need. Also, I have the same problem as another reviewer with the map jumping around when zooming.

Fixed! Thank you
By Cowboyup351 (Pcmac user)
Fixed with last update - thank you!
So this no longer applies (currently)............This app was great until it was updated (2 days ago). It took away previously saved favorites and will not allow an iPhone X user to touch the back button or the favorites star to add a favorite stop, because they're too high on the screen and tucked behind the time and signal strength, on the phone screen. Please adjust the locations to where they were previously, or where they're at least useable. Thank you!

Ugh
By M2DGG (Pcmac user)
So first, the app works great when it works. It’s essential to my commute and sanity.
However, there is the app’s favorite excuse of “check your internet connection” when the fault is clearly on the part of the app (every other Internet based app works).
The previous version of the app had a refresh button that I could press incessantly when that happened. In this version, they took it away. So not only can I not get to see where the bus is after I see that message, but I also can’t refresh to see my bus’ progress. I’ve tried going out of my bus schedule and back in to no avail.
On top of that, I had favorites saved in the previous app and when it upgraded to the new version, it deleted all of my favorites.
I was excited when the new version came out because I thought they would have addressed the really irritating bug, but ultimately they made it more unbearable.
