Better than no app, for sure but there are issues: 1) Route changes are not shown on the map (I waited ages at a bus stop, no bus arrived, later found out that this particular stop was decommissioned) and buses don't always follow the route shown on the map. 2) Difficult to explore route options when you're new to the area. 3) Auto topup doesn't work, I have it setup but found I ran out of credit when getting on the bus, now I check regularly and topup manually.

As a tourist, I found this app really useful for finding out when the next bus was arriving, and a lot more accurate than Google Maps which works from the 'official' bus schedule which is not always followed minute by minute. The interface was a bit confusing, and it was hard to tell whether you were looking at the bus stop you were at or the one across the road from you going the other way, but overall a helpful app.

In my opinion, given its terrain, Malta has a great public transport system and we were really grateful for it. Some things to keep in mind: 1. The app does track the buses well in real time. 2. It does not appreciate walking distance well though - use something else 3. If you search the trip up a long time beforehand, REFRESH IT REGULARLY!! 4. Give or take 5 minutes - it won't kill you to be a bit early 5. It is not the app's fault the buses are late in peak season
