★★☆☆☆
Absolute waste of time. Does not recognise any command whatsoever
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't show my nearest bus stop. I had to enable TalkBack on my.phobe to use it, and this cause my phone to freeze and lock. Had to take it back to supplier to get it sorted. As I am not visually impaired and I do need my.phone a lot, I've uninstalled this app.
★★☆☆☆
Gave 1 as can't give 0. This App does nothing, does NOT tell you when the next bus is just says no buses within the next hour. Even if there is a bus coming soon and no info when a bus will be, not even a time table. I've never seen an App so bad, I'm thinking this App might be fake. All buses have WiFi so should have live update on when they are arriving, its not hard to do. I'd love to know what this App actually does? Don't waste your time.
