Very Satisfied.

I love live this APP I have used it in 2 Boroughs QUEENS, BROOKLYN and it’s wonderful. Once in a while you have system down. But when it comes to bus schedule they are 99% Accurate. Thanks for this APP. I don’t drive and this app has been a blessing and a time saver for me.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Not Accurate at all

Not accurate at all. If it tells you three mins it’s 11 mins. That’s not even close to correct. I understand that traffic makes it difficult to predict an arrival time but that’s why the app should track EXACTLY where your bus is. I should be able to see in real time what stop that bus is currently at and this app doesn’t provide that information. If it does, it’s not user friendly enough to be obvious. The ONLY reason I use this app is for lack of an alternative.

Not accurate.

Sometimes this app works but most of y time it’s WAY off. For example, I left my apartment 10 minutes ago when the app said the bus was 8 minutes away. After 10 minutes of waiting the app still says it’s 8 minutes away. This happens every other time I use this app. Buses also disappear from the app. The app will say a bus is five minutes away and a minute later that bus has been removed from the cue and the next one is 10 to 20 minutes away.

Bus checker

I was really loving this app it accurately tells you when the bus is coming but lately it will say no bus stops are there and I would go online to see where my bus is it still has army time I’m not in the army and I don’t know how to tell army time and when I’m waiting for the bus it’s not giving me the stop I’m standing at it’s giving me a bus stop down the block can these issues be fixed !!!

Lousy

I used to love this app, since u decided to change to 24 hours time it’s the worst. I wold suggest the people who decided to up grade it shld also use it in the Bronx where it’s 24 hour time. Nowhere else is this 24 hours but the Bronx. I come out it says the hour time and guess what NO bus and I’m waiting first 10 minutes then another 10 minutes I would still be there I decided to use the bus across then the trains. So where is the bus ???

Great app - a must have in NY

If you ride the bus but hate it's unpredictability this is the solution. Tells you the time it will take pretty accurately and everything is displayed on a map that can geo locate you. Only thing I would like to see is an overlay map that shows you the route of a selected bus.

Very accurate but..

I’ve been using this app for the past 3 years but this recent update where it says the time instead of the mins there is left is confusing please go back to the way it was or give an option to change it!

1. VPN 2. font size 3. widgets

Great app, use it all the time. Three things that could be improved: 1. The app doesn’t load data when a VPN is on. Works after turning off the VPN. Please make the app VPN friendly. 2. iOS 16 has a per-app font size selector, accessible via Control Center -> Text Size -> Bus Checker Only. This app could utilize that feature so users can quickly and easily adjust arrival time font size to their preference - super small for those who want to see more at a glance, super big for those who can’t see smaller text, etc. 3. This app is a perfect candidate for a widget. Users could set their favorite bus stops in the widget (or maybe have one widget for each bus stop) so they’d be able to see the arrival times on each bus stop for let’s say the next 3 buses (to quickly decide if missing the very next bus would be a problem or not). Thanks.

Lately it hasn’t been working

When this app works- it’s amazing! A must-have! The bus countdowns are accurate and super helpful for my daily commute. However lately (the last 3ish months), the app hasn’t been work properly. It shows the bus scheduled times - not the countdown of how many minutes away the bus is (real time)- and it’s not accurate. My commute has become a small nightmare just with this minor hiccup on that’ll app. Please fix it!

Best but could be better

Best bus app for NYC I’ve seen but doesn’t say much since the rest are terrible. Seems to have the easiest interface but wish the default was to zoom in closer to my current location. Bus times are mostly but not always accurate. Same with bus stop locations. I use it daily. Great customer service.
