Perfect for Edinburgh!

The app was a life saver. Moving around in a strange city is usually horrific but this app makes navigating Edinburgh so easy and worry-free. Of course the bus system is Edinburgh helps too. Great job.


Can’t buy tickets?

It’s spot on for bus timings but why do I need a separate app to purchase bus fares? On my first trip to Edinburgh, this was confusing and when I downloaded the mfares app, I couldn’t get a single ticket because the minimum spend was £4. I had to walk and a bus driver took pity on me because I just landed from another country and didn’t have exact change, so he gave me a free ride. Devs-Take a note from Swissrail’s “SBB Mobile” app which does it all in one app and is much more efficient to use.


Not real happy

I am not real happy with this app. After spending a week in London with an amazing app to get around, this one just stinks. Too often I get a message that essentially says you can’t get there from here. I can’t see an overview of the system to help me decide which routes I want to take. And it would be really handy to tie this to my ticketing rather than have them separate. Oh! Twice I have been directed to take walks through alleyways or other sketchy areas to get to a bus. No thank you. Safety is more important than the shortest route.


Could not use tickets for another person

I bought 4 tickets for self and spouse round trip. Bus driver said I could only use them for myself. We didn’t have exact change. App requires another app, m-ticket, for ticket purchase. That app has an extensive account setup rigmarole including accepting lengthy privacy policies, so most likely is monetizing your location data. It was quicker to run across the road and purchase something at a newsagent to get change than download and set up the app at the bus stop. Are kids supposed to have their own phones as well?


Awful app! Beware!

Beware!Cannot be used for more than one passenger. You will be able to buy more than one but can’t use at same time. Awful for people traveling together
