Good. But not updated.

It still works. But it really needs some updates.

Works as advertised, but in desperate need of update

This app works, but could use an update to support modern iOS features/devices. I keep it around because most apps dont have viewable schedules or allow saving favorite routes.

Was great for a while, but stopped giving real time arrival info, only scheduled arrival times.

This app was great and I used it daily for a few years, however a few weeks ago it stopped providing real time arrival info for the subway, only giving users scheduled arrival time information instead, which is about as useful as having a schedule printed on paper. I deleted and reinstalled it to no avail.

No longer works

Does not load. Used to be great, but now fails consistently.

App stopped working

Not sure what happened but app cant pull in data from MBTA. The app is at fault because NextBus online works.

great app!

love it! mainly for buses

Unreliable

I have missed more buses with this app! Final straw was when the app told me two different buses were coming in 5 mins with 7 mins between them. I left the house and stood outside in 11 degree temperature for 20 mins when the next bus actually came. Additionally I was also late for work. Awesome. Pass on this!

Wrong Schedule

Used this often until one day I found it listed the wrong times for the outbound Framingham/Worcester line. Depend on the MBTA site, not this app!

Below Average

Since the start of 2014 Ive noticed bus times suddenly jump past stops - meaning Ive been waiting for a past bus. This is happening a couple times a week. As of today Im erasing this and trying another mbta app.

dead app

This app use to be OK but apparently is no longer supported. GPS function for next bus no longer works. My next bus has been parked 2 blocks away for several weeks.

Great app

This is amazing

Useful but inaccurate

Very good at showing stops Schedules are missing times. Perhaps does not pull the data from the mbta site.

Not accurate

The estimated arrival times are rarely accurate. Sometimes Ill wait at a stop starting a few minutes before the estimated arrival time, no bus will come, and the app will switch to a new estimated arrival time often 10+ minutes later. Not helpful.

Please update!

If you want me to update it got you I will

Great App but need update for iOS 8.0

It helped a lot when I was using iOS 7. Pls update the app. Please~

It doesnt respond

Perhaps this app has yet to be updated to be functional with iPhone 6s iOS 8...but 9 out of 10 times I open this app, I cannot get the app to respond to anything I press. Its quite frustrating.

ios8 killed this app

This app used to be wonderful now since ios8 its just frozen.

Doesnt work on iPhone 6

I had an iPhone 4S and this app worked great on it. I have since switched to iPhone 6 and the app is absolutely horrible. It hangs, doesnt allow me to check schedules etc. basically you just cannot use the main functionality of the app on iPhone 6. Fix this and Ill change my revie

Broken in iOS 8.0.2

Good app that I rely on daily basis. Unfortunately not working any more after upgraded to iOS 8.0.2. The screen is not responding that I am stuck.

Please update...

Using the app for last 2 yrs and love it, upgraded my phone, now have iOS 8 and the app freezes or crashes all the time. Please update.
