App doesn't work
jhoop2002
Whenever I open the app, it says something went wrong and won't pull up any bus information.
Not great for bus at beginning of route
Clintonuws
Great when you're getting on mid-route. Very precise time and map. However.... drivers turn on GPS when they leave 1st stop. If you're at 2nd stop... there is nothing coming... then arriving in 1 min... Prevents planning to leave with perfect time to catch bus. Frustrating when in the burbs waiting for (late) buses that only come 1x per hour. But otherwise, great technology and worthwhile.
App is useless near beginning of bus routes
chrishahn
For stops near the beginning of routes in downtown Manhattan the app is useless. Typically says next departure from terminal in 40 min or longer. Then a few minutes later busses appear in the app 2 minutes away. It needs better info for departures at the beginning of routes to be useful.
Network problem when there ain't

Keeps telling me to check my network connection despite the fact that I'm outside waiting for the bus. (Delete)
Bus did not come when expected

There are buses that are not registered or have their GPS off rendering this APP useless. I routinely check the whereabouts of the next bus as I walk to the nearest bus stop. One incident where the APP had the next bus as "At the terminal" (about 2.3 miles away), which takes about 13 minutes from the terminal to my regular bus stop, I went to grab a drink nearby and as soon as I got out, a bus drives right passed me (with people inside). The entire transaction took no more than 5 minutes. The MTA couldn't even get this right! Big disappointment.
Great app however....,

I loved this app but last week it started deleting my favorites. Very frustrating. Would've given 5 stars if that didn't start happening.
Doesn't work on all stops

Doesn't work if your stop is close to the end of the line. It'll say there are no buses, and then say the bus is 2 min away, not leaving any time to walk to the bus stop....
