App is good, helpful. 3 features would make it 5-star: - Allow setting a default start location (more useful to see my morning PnR spot than my home) - Allow display of multiple pinned route buses on main map (helps see if I need to run or not) - Allow "go" when already on the bus, instead of only before the bus arrives (the app location isn't always accurate, and occasionally I'm already aboard before the app updates) Edit: dropping to 2 stars for lack of response

It's a pretty good app and often works better than google maps for buses (as it should), but it isn't perfect. My #1 recommendation is to allow the user to manually change what bus route they're on. Sometimes it will ask you but other times it will just be incorrect and you can't do anything about it. This would also help with the accuracy of departure times.

Constantly have to force stop when, after reaching one's destination, the app won't work correctly when attempting to connect to an adjoining route - it basically has to be reset (via force stop) to restore its normal functionality. Another bug issue is that you can only change the app icon color a few times before it "locks" and it can no longer be changed without uninstalling / reinstalling, which afterwards warns you you'll have to contact them if you uninstall / reinstall again. What a mess.
