RouteShout 2.0

I am glad our local transit is using the app, but the interface is really clumsy and it’s overly complicated to quickly check where my bus is. This is my only option, since our bus system is rural and this is the only app that gets their data. If I did have a choice, I’d use something else. I feel like the people that made this software aren’t frequent bus riders and didn’t talk to anyone who is. The interface is slow. It takes many cumbersome steps to get to the information I need - scrolling and searching through a list of 30 routes, then a list of times (times for what - when the bus starts the route?!), then about 70 stops named by street and intersection. It could make use of location services and make educated guesses about which bus our route I might be waiting for. I can favorite certain items, but even that isn’t useful. I can’t check to se when the “next route 1 bus gets to the place I am standing”. That would be the minimum helpful function of the app. Oh well.

Edit: I changed my rating from 2 to 1 stars because it has not opened and worked for over a week. Before, at least deleting and re-downloading the app helped it work again. Not anymore. This app has some serious problems that need to be looked at. All you need to know about this app is that it works about 5% of the time. The other 95% when I need to know when the bus comes? Too bad. When it does work, this app and its GPS feature proves to be very helpful. But this app only successfully loads about 60% of the time. I can’t tell you how often I’ve sat here for up to 20 minutes waiting for this app to just work. Unfortunately, it’s the only way to track buses in my small town. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be giving it the light of day.

It’s the only live transit data app that supports my city, so I have to use it. When the bus does have a transponder I can usually track it manually. But there are a lot of problems: 1. Predicted arrival time never shows more than a single digit once scheduled arrival has passed. Prediction not useful when a delay is 15-30 minutes or more. 2. Saving a stop found via “Locate Me” as a favorite is ineffective because recalling that favorite never shows any upcoming arrivals. Favorites only work when saved from Where’s My Bus it Schedule, which means a stop must have multiple favorites if more than one route serves that stop. 3. Navigating the embedded map is so hard it is common to end up zoomed out to show the entire planet. 4. Pop ups in the map are so large they can prevent scrolling the map to find the X to close them

I use this app quite regularly because the busses in my city are unreliable sometimes. They're 15 minutes late, 10 minutes early. The app works decently for me. But is in desperate need of an update. There are severe loading issues and I'm not the only person in my city with this issue. Even the transit system themselves, the screens showing this app so we all know where the busses are, have been freezing up a lot in the last month. Needs updated. Badly. Routes need to load faster. The whole app needs to load faster. I'm on LTE and this app runs like dial up.

Is a good app to use and my fav feature is always get to keep track the location of the bus. But recently I have issue with loading the app. I have to delete and download again in order to open the app page that I want to use. I not sure whether is only happen on my phone or same things happened to other users. There is not place that I can report my issue so maybe something that can improve on. Just suggestion.
