A great app to have, especially when there are so many roadworks around the island. It generally does a good job in telling you where a particular bus is, but it's by no means infallible - the bus locations on the map can on occasions be two or three minutes behind. On an hourly service like the No. 37, that can be crucial!

I wish I could give it zero stars. The biggest problem is this app does not sleep so your screen stays on and runs your battery flat. The other problem I have noticed is that even if you do remember to close the app and are therefore able to use it again to get you home the data matrix is often not recognised and you have to generate a new one in the app. I feel sure I will find other problems...

At first, it seemed great, but after a day, it was easy to see that the app was poor with very limited information and poor updates, from busses not showing on the app to busses padding us and not stopping as had i formed us of wrong stops. For a company that dominates the island being the only bus service, you would expect a perfectly working app!!!!
