Edinburgh Bus Tracker (v. 1.0.46) Разработано Andrew de Quincey |
A real time bus tracker for LRT Lothian buses written by Andrew de Quincey and Colin Paton, using data from the CEC My Bus Tracker website. Please visit http://code.google.com/p/redbus/ for more information.
Notes:
* If something isn't working right and you have the time to spare, could you please send an email as well as commenting. It greatly speeds up fixing things if we can ask for more detail on the problem than Market comments allow (although we do appreciate those too).
* If the app "goes missing" after a recent update, I'm informed that uninstalling+reinstalling it using "Settings>Applications>Manage Applications" should restore it.
* If you have a homescreen icon on an HTC Sense phone, the picture will not be updated until you reboot. However, it should function just as before without a reboot. We can't do anything about this issue as it appears to be an HTC bug.
* We are unable to use the new pre-caching or vector maps support as seen in the most recent Google Maps versions. These features are only available internally within the Google Maps application itself, and Google have made no way to use them from an external application. Therefore, we are stuck with the basic bitmap-based maps with no pre-caching until Google decide to support this. If they ever do, we would definitely want to use it.

[2013-09-11] A Google User: Great app When will it be updated with the new stops/routes? |
|
[2013-08-20] A Google User: Top app One of the most useful apps I've used. Alarm didn't work for me but the ability to see exactly where you are and which stop is approaching meant I didn't really need it. I would go back to Edinburgh just to use this app! :) |
|
[2013-06-14] A Google User: Never had prob with this app. Time accurate with in coming bus very good app for HTC S. Thanks. Never had prob with this app. Time accurate with in coming bus very good app for HTC S. Thanks. |

[2013-04-17] A Google User: Good app Excellent easy to use app |
|
[2013-03-06] A Google User: By far the best I use this app everyday on my travels to school, it is by far the most reliable app on my phone!!! Only thing that could be added is bus stop histore but apart from that 5* |
|
[2013-01-07] A Google User: Brilliant Great app! |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Check out "Edinburgh by bus" This was my slight preference over the very similar official app. Until I found "Edinburgh by bus" which has a journey planner!!! Now you can tell it where you want to go, and it figures out how to get there. Vast improvement over simply saying when the next bus is!! |
|
[2012-10-26] A Google User: Don't bother Only finds my location about a third of the time even with GPS turned on. Routes are difficult to read. Finally gave up and just walked everywhere. |
|
[2012-10-25] A Google User: Meh The alarms dinny really work ken, but braw... I use the other Edinburgh bus one, much better |
|
[2012-10-21] A Google User: Essential App I use this app more than any other, it's amazing and really helps you get about quicker. |

|
[2012-06-21] A Google User: Top notch Had this app for over a year and its fantastic. Don't know how I did without it. Well I do but it involved a lot of bored standing in bus stops... |
|

|
[2012-05-10] A Google User: Great app Great for planning journeys when you have your usual stops bookmarked. |
|
[2012-04-20] A Google User: Works Well Thanks to the maker. Very useful at the stops without live information. It would be great if it worked in conjunction with Traveline Scotland but that's in the future probably! Keep up the good work. Samsung G S2 |

|
[2012-02-26] A Google User: My Bus Edinburgh is better Not as pretty as the My Bus Edinburgh app (especially on Android 4) which is better designed and has as many features. |

|
[2012-01-10] A Google User: Has the edge over My Bus Edinburgh Excellent functionality. Love the flexibility of the arrival times display modes, show routes from stops, home screen bookmarks. |
|
[2012-01-09] A Google User: Unreliable Not as user friendly as the official app. Official app has bugs, but bare with it. This is disappointing. Shows buses which are not there. Has a difficult user interface. Simply not great. |
|
[2012-01-08] A Google User: Top notch app Excellent. Very reliable |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: Brilliant Works perfectly, thanks for this! |
|
[2012-01-06] A Google User: Used to work As others have pointed out if seems to have lost some of the stops - either the ability to click on them via the map or enter them as a stop code. Bizarrely if you have one of these stops as a bookmark they work ok! Will put back to 5 stars when fixed. |
|
[2012-01-04] A Google User: Great app but temporary error Brilliant app, but seems to have lost some stops (some of 35 route and all Easter road) hope you can fix! Motorola razr |
|
[2012-01-02] A Google User: Some stops have disappeared The map seems to have forgotten the stops along Telford Road and Queensferry road, maybe others too |
|
[2011-12-19] A Google User: Broken on ICS Used to work fine on nexus s with gingerbread. Updated to ICS Yesterday and now every bus stop says no departures. |
|
[2011-12-15] A Google User: Brilliant Great app lots of great features like traffic alerts, and shortcuts for your home screen. |
|
[2011-12-01] A Google User: Nexus prime On the nexus prime none of the bus stops work. All report an error message saying try another bus stop |
|
[2011-11-30] A Google User: - Great app! What's up with 36234325 (Jewel & Esk College)? Not loading properly. |
|
[2011-11-17] A Google User: Me Its becoming slow and not giving right location when asked 'stops nearby' |
|
[2011-11-13] A Google User: Will not let me uninstall! |
|
[2011-11-07] A Google User: Brilliant app. Less standing around bus stops after just missing the bus by seconds |
|
[2011-10-25] A Google User: Great App! One feature request though! Would it be possible to add an option to turn on the phones camera flash when scanning a qr stop code? |
|
[2011-10-23] A Google User: Saves time You know how long you have in the pub before having to run for the bus. |
|
[2011-10-23] A Google User: Brilliant. Highly recommended |
|
[2011-10-23] A Google User: Great thanks put a donate option |

|
[2011-10-07] A Google User: Bad This is. Such a crap app!! doesn't work when you need it most |

|
[2011-09-01] A Google User: Would be lost without this app its so good :) |
|
[2011-08-24] A Google User: Since the last upgrade this app doesn't update your location and only sometimes shows bus times. Please fix! |

[2011-08-11] A Google User: @Andrew...thx for the response..other than that clitch app is fine...still don't see the point of nearby tab..android waitng on bus is cute tho.. |
|
[2011-08-11] A Google User: One issue is the nearby stops map is now no longer full screen? this lowers the apps usability |
|
[2011-08-11] Al: @Andrew...thx for the response..other than that clitch app is fine...still don't see the point of nearby tab..android waitng on bus is cute tho.. |
|
[2011-08-11] Hansen Lu: One issue is the nearby stops map is now no longer full screen? this lowers the apps usability |
|
[2011-08-11] Rich: Brilliant. |
|
[2011-08-10] Andrew: @Al Its an experiment to show times from >1 stop at once; handy if you have several routes from different stops and you want to know which is soonest. |
|
[2011-08-07] A Google User: Like the new improvements, thanks guys |
|
[2011-08-07] A Google User: V useful. Would be nice to have option to auto update bus data. At the moment it puts up a notification to manually update nearly every time I use it. |
|
[2011-08-07] Ian: Like the new improvements, thanks guys |

|
[2011-08-05] A Google User: Just excellent. Was beginning to worry, as it had been reporting network errors recently, but I just hadn't updated to the latest version. |
|
[2011-08-05] A Google User: Essential app when in Edinburgh This app keeps you up to date with bus times on Lothian buses. It will save you a fortune in time, taxis and parking charges. New latest feature to view all buses from all nearby stops is great. AT my home I have 4 bus stops and can now see all in one go. The other latest feature is the ability to delay the notification of due buses by up to 30 minutes HTC Desire |
|
[2011-08-05] spiralarms: Just excellent. Was beginning to worry, as it had been reporting network errors recently, but I just hadn't updated to the latest version. |

|
[2011-08-01] A Google User: Still an excellent app, in daily use - but the new icon is ugly. Rendering bug? HTC Desire. |
|
[2011-08-01] A Google User: Good app, but as we've got roadworks where I live and the route has changed, it would have been handy for this to show times for temp stops! |
|
[2011-08-01] Juan: I love this app! |
