Comments on Reading Buses for Android

★★★★★ Jayne Darby · Jan 8, 2026
The 26 is a brilliant reliable service and the drivers are always happy and helpful
★★★★★ Wayne Morrison · Dec 27, 2025
Reading buses app is great for planning journeys, tracking buses whilst they are on their routes, buying tickets, looking at timetables and getting general information about the service that Reading buses provides. I love it👍
★★★★★ Elizabeth Bell · May 7, 2026
Reliable service, super bus drivers doing a great job getting us places. App is good for timetables and buying tickets and great for tracking buses.
★☆☆☆☆ Ally Ally · Oct 8, 2025
Why is the menu on the left side when only 10% of people are left-handed? Makes no sense, no other app is so poorly designed.
★★☆☆☆ Tony Lewis · Jun 15, 2026
Phone killer, you MUST close this app after you have scanned the ticket, or it will stay on and kill the battery faster than anything. I always forget to close the app and a few hours later the phone dies. It's really battery hungry!!
★☆☆☆☆ Alan S 1974 Brown · Jun 16, 2026
Constantly late bus 500,(7-16) to Winners park and ride. Its only Tuesday and it has been late 2 times. Surely a review of the timetables is needed Reading Buses. Am I going right off the service.
★☆☆☆☆ Brian Gregory · May 29, 2026
I'm getting sick of this app sometimes telling me I'm in time for a bus then after I wait suddenly it says I've missed it. Then if I wait some more and give up waiting and start waking to a less convenient bus it's possible I will see the bus it said I missed go by!!
