Absolutely terrible! Being autistic, travelling by bus is stressful enough for me (and many others), despite being an IT pro, I find the app hideously complicated which just adds to the stress! Now these infuriatingly ads that blare out at you, that you just can't get out of when you're short on time and just NEED bus info makes it totally unusable. I just can't deal the stress of it, so it's uninstalled.

Very angry. It was the best app on market when it was new. Loved it - fast, accurate, easy to handle. Now is the worst on market. I can see for the developers the money first. Adds and adds and adds, when the people want to see one thing: when and where the next bus us coming. That WAS the best and qickest app to do it. Now full with adds. Purpose lost. And before you answer, please don't. I will switch to other, free, quicker app - as you are not alone with your app, and not worth pay for it.

Horrible app! Can't get beyond the ads! I listen to music on a low volume. Yet every time I try to use this app, before I can get to the first screen I'm BLASTED with the loudest volume of ad! At the moment for tiktok. No way to silence it or close it down, you have to wait for the app to run. Too many ads, too loud, not worth it when there are many other apps offering the same. Uninstalled.

Hi. Thanks for the feedback and we're sorry to lose your custom. It's really helpful if people send us screengrabs of bad ads so that we can block them. The ads are set to match the device settings, so shouldn't be louder than your device volume. You should also be able to close them after 5/6 seconds. Regards, Team Mapway
