What are users saying about London Bus Checker

I70%
by I####:

This app is amazing! Makes travelling around London easy for anyone. The built in journey planner is very good and the bus and train times are accurate. The only flaw I have noticed is with the widget. For underground stations, the widget only shows the trains going from one of the platforms. For railway stations, the widget only shows departures (This isn't as big an issue as the underground stations). Regardless of this flaw, the app deserves 5 stars. It would be even better if this could be fixed.

Z70%
by Z####:

I normally hate bus apps because they freeze and give you the wrong information. This one is great it tells you all the stops around where you are the next buses per stops with updated time etc...

S70%
by S####:

This app used to be really good but recently it's become less reliable and the widget never loads when you tap to refresh or will sometimes show you out of date info. I rely on the widget daily so this has become really annoying. I have a brand new pixel 2 which is fully up to date and full reception of 4g data so it has got to be the app that's the problem. This has only been a problem since the last update.

S70%
by S####:

Very user friendly and fully feature. Including favouriting bus stops. So useful for bus stops that have no digital displays. And i can determine if i have time to nip into a shop and get a snack before my next bus arrives.

S70%
by S####:

Used to be a nice convenient app. But after some update crashes all the time. Looks like it happens when it tries to load next massive ad picture or video. Will search for something more usable.

W70%
by W####:

Used to be a great app, but not anymore. The widget is often unresponsive and doesn't refresh, which defeats the purpose of the app. I now have to go into the app, search for the bus stop and check the bus time, which I could do on Google maps.

K70%
by K####:

Very useful. Fills the gap left by TFL's inconsistent and broken signage. The active bus stop icons could be larger/zoom easier.

U70%
by U####:

I use this daily. Very reliably tells me when buses are arriving. Great for timing when to leave to avoid hanging around at bus stops.

S70%
by S####:

Started good but so far in the last 15 mins has crashed 3 times. Not as accurate as some of the ones friends use.

S70%
by S####:

Not accurate times anymore sadly. Plus a huge ad for travel to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Not cool.

S70%
by S####:

It so often doesn't work. Very frustrating when you are waiting and watching the minutes count down then when it says your bus is 1 minute away it suddenly jumps back to 10 minutes away.

B70%
by B####:

First time using it and it was useful. You need Internet connection to make it work. It would be nice to have a better location searching tool, as I had to manually move the destination point multiple times. Nevertheless, I would recommend it if it didn't have such massive amounts of adverts.

S70%
by S####:

Good app, very useful. A tip for the designer: It would be even better if the widget would automatically show the closest favorite bus stop (as I have more than 5). It saves me from scrolling back or forth to the right bus stop.

S70%
by S####:

It crashes every 2 min after the last updates!! I have to open it over and over again! Fix it please!

S70%
by S####:

Was always my go to app for bus times, but recently it just crashes all the time after about a minute. I've switched to an alternative app now

S70%
by S####:

Shows "phantom" buses that disappear just before they are supposed to arrive and shows bus still three or four minutes away when it arrives.

F70%
by F####:

When I get lost on transport this great app solves my problem. Great App. Thanks

S70%
by S####:

I've paid for this app before but for some reason I have to pay again to have the premium version. App is very unstable. Airways crashes

B70%
by B####:

No problems at all till now but have downgraded as widget for south ealing tube still only shows one direction. Told them ages ago

S70%
by S####:

Needs an update complete blanked non-responsive. Please fix no street view or bus time

P70%

Inaccurate and pops an ad in your face every time you check for your bus. Garbage.

S70%
by S####:

Its a very useful App! I use it everyday before heading to the busstop. Gives accurate timing. What I like most about this App is the design, layout and info is very easy and to use! Amazing App!

V70%
by V####:

Great app - best I've found yet for timings of buses. Loads of other info too.

M70%
by M####:

Very reliable and user friendly. To my knowledge doesn't give warnings if there's route changes on buses which would be useful.

Was the best up until the new year when it started crashing and stopped loading bus times

S70%

by S####:

Sometimes it gives contradictory timings
