Screwed up

I'm not pleased with my purchase!! I bought this app thinking it would help me with the bus system here at Iowa. I couldn't have been more wrong and will be talking to the makers if this grewsome app. I also smacked my friend Corey across his boot lipped face for telling me to get this app.
? USELESS ?heads

**UPDATE 3.0.1** It refuses to work on cellular. It says to turn on wifi for best results. Except campus wifi is terrible for this app, I've only ever gotten it to work on cellular. It has never worked on campus wifi, the connection is too slow, so why can't I just use my cellular?! *UPDATE* It's not working on wifi either
About as reliable as bus wifi

Historically buggy. Last OS update broke it severely, frequently is wrong about the schedule or which buses are running
What happened?

Why did the update remove the refresh since many people disable the auto update feature of iOS7 to save battery life? Frustrating. I have to get out and back into the app to see updated times. Also, the app does not move to landscape orientation for those of us on ipad! Please fix!
Terrible

This app used to be good and timely, now it completely forgets entire routes and will randomly be close to on time. This app is terrible. I'm late for work at least twice a week thanks to this horrible app.
Pretty good

Sometimes doesn't show certain routes and sometimes doesn't work for certain stops. Great most of the time though
Great app with room for improvement

This is going to save me tons of time in my four years as a medical student here. I've tried it and it works pretty well. LOVE the GPS-based bus maps so you can track it. A few suggestions: 1) There's a bug where if you tap a pin to gain detailed info about a stop on the map, it shows you the LAST one you selected. You have to go back to the map and tap the one you want a second time to get the info about that stop. 2) It would be nice to be able to tap the buses on the GPS tracker and have them labeled inbound or outbound. 3) I appreciate that clicking on a route shows you a map of the route, but I wish clicking on a stop showed you a map of where the stop is. I've had to refer to Google Maps and then go back to the app to quickly determine where it is. 4) If you ever expand the app, please add a trip planner! The online one steered me wrong with respect to when the buses run. Overall, though, I'm very glad this app exists.
