Reviews

App not working
Belvior

This app is frequently used Throughout my day it’s kind of inconvenient that it is not have been working For the past couple of days hopefully the issue go to resolved real soon!!!


Do not use - totally useless
gjdfnugdgdnk

Just like the MBTA, this app is totally useless and unreliable. It will tell you for 15 minutes that a bus is 1 min away and then finally the bus disappears. This happens at least 4-5 times a week. Do not use if you are basing your personal schedule around these bus times. Terrible app, terrible public transit system.


What happened to this app?
J881

It hasn't worked in 4 days, zero info for any bus routes and no response to questions. I’ve always enjoyed using it, please fix it.


Doesn’t ever work
BtBecki

This app never works or shows the incorrect information. For days there’s been no information available and when it does work the bus times are wrong. It will show bus in 2mins then 10mins later shows the same bus arriving in 3mins. Isn’t helpful. Switching to the Transit app!


No longer able to function for MBTA
AdrieRaeL

I just got this recently and it was working fine until yesterday. A little research showed that NextBus is no longer providing data on MBTA and NextBus is what this app uses to provide the user-friendly bus info. How do I get my .99 back?


App stopped working
Kayno100

Used this app smoothly for a while until recently no minutes show anymore!


Useless now
SteveMW72

This app no longer works. Developer tried to blame MBTA, & said a quick fix would happen, but no such deal. Just download transit. More informative, & more user friendly.


Hasn’t worked for days
jcashy27

We rely on this app daily but it has suddenly stopped working for all of us in my family. No update avail?? What’s up?


Best by far
townie271

I couldn’t survive the T without this app!!


Excellent now that it’s updated
Roquie0

MBTA interfered with data for a while. New version works perfectly. I use it all the time.
