Frustratingly inaccurate.

Used to work well but it no longer does. In no longer seems to update in real time and instead offers nothing more than the “scheduled arrival” which is usually wrong. I’ve missed many busses and also waited an excessively long time for busses that never show.
Unreliable

I don’t know what happened to this app, but it has been soooo inaccurate these last few months. It’ll say a bus is coming and passed when it doesn’t but is late. Or it’ll say the next bus is much later than it really is. And this has been with the routes I’ve taken within the city and from Kirkland. It might even update a few times with completely different results every other minute or so. Basically, I never know what’s happening when I look at it. Hope it gets better soon.
Ridiculous.

This app was one I used at least twice a day and was super reliable...until a few months ago. Now it’s so bad I’m deleting it. I can time my bus timing better than OneBusAway these days. If you have anywhere to be, say work, school, or an appointment, this app has become a downright joke.
Absolutely HORRIBLE & such an inconvenience

I HATE this app. It has never been 100% accurate. The schedules on the poles at the bus stops are more accurate than this app. I have missed my busses and been late to work MULTIPLE times because I check the schedule before I leave and it says a certain time, and after I leave AHEAD of time to get to my bus stop on time, the bus has already left. But the app says that it’s either still arriving or it’s been delayed by 10 minutes, 5 minutes, etc. This is absolutely ridiculous. What is the point of this app if it tells us that the bus comes at a certain time but it’s already gone? I’m done with this app, already deleted. Never downloading it again. I’d rather check the websites than use this CHEAP USELESS app.
Great when it works. Awful when inconsistent

This app is virtually useless if you’re in the city. I rely on this everyday and it usually lets me down 60% of the time. The interface has not improved since I first downloaded it years ago. Needs improvement.
Do not rely on this for anything you need to show up on time to

9 out of 10 times the bus will either show up earlier or later then is said, and then other times a bus will magically bend the rules of time and make 5 minutes pass in 30 seconds. If you use this you should probably come 15 minutes earlier then is said just to be safe, as sometimes it will tell you a bus is still coming when it has already came. Here I am right now waiting at the bus stop for 40 minutes because the bus that was supposed to come in 5 minutes somehow already passed by as I was waiting at the stop, or at least that’s what it told me.
What a joke - useless

This app does not work for seattle buses-how can they be tracking in real time when the bus you've been waiting for (in the rain) doesn't show up for any of its scheduled stops in an hour yet the app tells you it arrived and departed on time? Unbelievable
Unreliable

Ghost buses galore and inaccurate timing mean this app will provide only a vague idea of your bus’s impending arrival.
