Easy fix for 5 stars
Brenton07
This app has the most infuriating shortcoming, and it’s a 30 minute developer fix. When searching light rail, you have to start with “Line” instead of the destination like “Ridgegate”. No one says “I’m going to take Line Ridgegate”. Literally no one. Change search logic to “contains” instead of “starts with”. It’s that simple. And then this app would be one of the best. I’ve brought this up to the developer inbox multiple times, it’s insane they’ve redone the UI and still haven’t fixed this one issue. If there’s a reason for this I’m missing, I’m all ears.
Not as good as Transit

While I really would like to use this app I’m finding it a lot more difficult to usr than the Transit app. It’s a lot harder to figure put what time a light rail train will be arriving at my stop.
Useful

I haven’t figured out how to tell it I am going a different direction than the busses it is showing me and sometimes I can see every bus for a stop except mine. Not perfect but it’s cool when it works.
Not updated on route cancellations
Kalin C.
Never seems to have updated info regarding cancelled trains or buses. Makes it impossible to trust. Especially with RTD cancelling routes and trains even more often, it's bad.
Useless

Buses and rail are constantly late or off schedule and there is no update whatsoever.. useless
R line frequently cancelled.

I look to the radio wave symbol next to a train because that is supposed to represent real time. I rely on accuracy and real time to arrive at work on time. I have come to expect that one or two trains will be missed due to inaccurate info and cancellations, which are NEVER shone. This site is a best case scenario marketing platform. In going back to my polluting car because I know when it will get me to work.
Cancelled Busses

I’ve been using RTD for years and was hoping that this app would finally give me the cancelled ride notifications that we all want and deserve but, no. No such luck. RTD will forever cancel busses without informing anyone at all. It’s literally a two second fix, but the developers of this app can’t make it happen. Instead, you can look forward to being informed that your bus is due at any moment despite the driver not showing up for work five hours ago.
Don’t Heavily Rely on it

Plenty of times I’ve checked the app for a bus and see that it’s quicker to walk than wait for another bus. Then a bus that’s not supposed to be there for another 25 minutes pass right by me. Sometimes the buses won’t pop up and I’m guessing it’s because the bus is supposed to have already arrived. It’s 1/10 times this happens to me, just a little inconvenient sometimes.
RTD does not routinely update its app, thus providing misinformation to its riders.

Even when this issue has been reported to RTD, they advise their riders to sign up for rider alerts — and those alerts still don’t inform the riders of cancelled busses or trains. RTD overall does a poor job at providing correct information to ifs riders.
