Reviews
Pretty useless

Compared to the other public transit apps, Google maps, iOS apps, Yahoo maps, Bing maps, and all the other GPS available apps that are actually offering a whole lot of more options for those of us who use public transit, this app is very very inferior. Do not waste your money paying $1.99 to remove the ads because it's simply not worth it. If you can download your transit agency up into your phone or an iPad that would definitely be your best bet. Good luck!
don't make me do all the work

The app knows where I am -- it should tell me about stops near me, the way the NextBus web app does. Don't make me select lines, favorite stops, etc. There's already enough contextual information to make smart decisions.
Impressive

5 stars because it's hands down the most simple and beautiful app to use for NextBus-affiliated transit systems. Wish there was a way to overlay multiple routes on the same map, and I wish you could toggle route a bit more simpler (and not just have to choose from 6 that you pre select on the top of the screen, because I personally use different sets of routes depending on time of day), but overall a VERY impressive app, and it's even better than the native NextBus app currently. Great work.
Solid app, no notifications

I appreciate the functionality of this app. Of course, it's limited to being as reliable as the service it tracks, but it is just simple enough to show me what I need without unnecessary fluff. I can't figure out how to get the Notification Center widgets working, however. I wish there was a way to do this or allow the app the notify me when my bus is approaching a certain stop. There seems to be no use of "starring" my stop without these features; as much as I appreciate the app, I don't want to have to pull it up every few minutes to see where my bus is.
