[2013-08-11] A Google User: Amazing App. Great job It is so awesome. Helps me find everything with OCTranspo. Thank you so much for building this app. You are the best!! A+++ |
|
[2013-08-10] A Google User: Like getting an expensive hooker for free Simply the best OC Transpo app out there, far surpasses its iOS counterpart |
|
[2013-08-01] A Google User: Awesomely useful app! Need some improvement. But cool overall! |
|
[2013-07-31] A Google User: Don't update This app used to be amazing but with the recent updates the info is no longer accurate. The time till the bus comes is now only based on the scheduled time rather than where the bus actually is. This also means that the live GPS info is no longer available. It also means that the type of bus listed is inaccurate. Why did you break something that worked? |
|
[2013-07-31] A Google User: Oc transpo Love this app |
|
[2013-07-31] A Google User: Good |
|
[2013-07-30] A Google User: Slow It's so slow and useless... |
|
[2013-07-29] A Google User: Needs GPS More useful if it used th publicly available GPS data from OC Transpo. |
|
[2013-07-25] A Google User: Great App This is quite possibly the best bus app I have ever used. I would recommend this app to anybody who lives in the Ottawa area and take the bus on a regular basis. |
|
[2013-07-24] A Google User: Satisfied |
|
[2013-07-19] A Google User: Decent, but unreliable Favourites are easily lost and/or take a long time to refresh. Times are often off and not reliable (I.e says bus will arrive for the last 15 minutes, but once the 15 mins pass and there's no bus, it is suddenly another 15 mins away.) It is a good idea, but too many shortfalls with the current version. |
|
[2013-07-18] A Google User: Great on my nexus 4 Excellent app on my nexus 4. Very very useful app. No more guessing when the next bus should be. Thank you. |
|
[2013-07-17] A Google User: Excellent Very organized and easy to use. Makes my life easier. |
|
[2013-07-17] A Google User: Pretty Awesome Can't ask for more |
|
[2013-07-15] A Google User: Great App for anyone to use This app is so easy to use and the accuracy is amazing. I put it on my senior citizen mother's phone and she loves it too. Way to go! Only problem is adding new favourites. |
|
[2013-07-15] A Google User: Widget doesnt work properly. App serves its purpose... nothing more After I've selected what route to have on my widget, it shows an error message: no data available. I need to be sure that this apps bus schedules are updated often but theres no clear way of knowing that |
|
[2013-07-10] A Google User: Not good not bad Timetables are missing some of the routes in this app no longer operate... Meh |
|
[2013-07-10] A Google User: New version unsatisfactory The updates made to this app have made it infuriating to use. I can't look at any of the route timetables properly and I know it's not because of my phone. This WAS a good app. Not so much anymore. |
|
[2013-07-10] A Google User: Great design, but broken Weird graphical issues with some of the screens. Crashes often enough to make it frustrating. Never seems able to load up my "favorite stops". |
|
[2013-07-04] A Google User: Best of the Bunch! All other OC Transpo apps are missing either timetables, or stop numbers, et cetera, but My OC Transpo has it all! Well done! |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: Good design, but poor This has a good design, but it just doesn't function properly. It always loses stops that I've saved as favorites and constantly suffers from refresh issues. It looks like pages are overlapping each other. Uninstalling. |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: Good Not bad. Its accurate most times |
|
[2013-06-29] A Google User: Practical of course very. Love it very practical but why a paid version ...?! |
|
[2013-06-28] A Google User: Grate I love this app it has always saved me by getting me to point a to point b and now I don't rush cuz I don't miss my bus |
|
[2013-06-25] A Google User: Great when it works; awful when it doesn't. The stop times option frequently shows "there are no trips available at this time" when it's midday on a weekday (94 and 95 are definitely running). The travel planner is iffy and for some reason when I put in an exact hour (ex. 10:00) it will show up as that hour +12 min (ex. 10:12). I also don't think it necessarily gives you the best routes(although that could be oc transpo as well). I think when it isn't being buggy, it is a great app. |
|
[2013-06-22] A Google User: HTC One Decent app, a few bugs here and there but really solid |
|
[2013-06-20] A Google User: Miss the while you wait for the app to work It used to be good. But now you will miss the bus as you go through page after page of welcome and instruction and then struggle with the ultra slow maps. |
|
[2013-06-20] A Google User: On a downward trend Travel Planner, stop times and route times frequently not working! I am actively looking for another app! DOWNFALL - Travel Planner is so annoying because you can't toggle between it and the other options without having to re-enter all the info again. Pain in the butt. WISH 1 - There was a way to see the options of the way you could go. Sometimes I know a way would work better for me and I can't get it. WISH 2 - REALLY WANT a way to find out what time I will get to my destination while en route. |
|
[2013-06-20] A Google User: Poor quality Never sure if it is going to work or is accurate. Have switched since the transit system is already bad enough without the help of this app. |
|
[2013-06-18] A Google User: Really frustrating since last major update I've used this on two different versions of android OS and had the same problems: pressing the "start" button on the main page elicits no response (have to restart app); subsequent screen changes get overlaid on top of previous page views (ex. I see the text for my favourites list underneath the text on the search for a route page). Also can't find info for stops on a detour, and no listing/search for stops nearby |
|
[2013-06-16] A Google User: Good |
|
[2013-06-15] A Google User: Very good |
|
[2013-06-12] A Google User: Not stable - has potential I have used this app 3 times... It has crashed 3 times :-(. Searching hasn't worked, which is why I got the app in the 1st place. Hope it gets fixed cause I need to get to know the system again. |
|
[2013-06-11] A Google User: Excellent This is one of the best apps on my phone. Period. |
|
[2013-06-11] A Google User: Great app! This is the most useful app on my phone! Since OC Transpo's schedule means nothing, this is the best way to know when your bus will arrive! |
|
[2013-06-10] A Google User: Best Octranspo app! Awesome app! Quick response to feedback! |
|
[2013-06-10] A Google User: So-so I grew up in york region and the viva system is great for mobile, its very frustrating that when I use the oc transpo one that it is pretty confusing, when i pick a stop number it gives me other stop number options, if i am standing at smyth a, i shouldnt be getting smyth b bus routes, its very confusing, also you should have an option fot next bus available. Sometimes i just want to know what the next bus coming is, instead of looking through alll the routes coming to my stop! Everything else is great! |
|
[2013-06-10] A Google User: Great app Thanks for fixing the satellite problem! |
|
[2013-06-09] A Google User: 1 out of every 4 times it tells me the bus is coming 10 minutes sooner than it actually is. Which sucks |
|
[2013-06-07] A Google User: Great Application Reliable. Accurate. Nice GPS data. |
|
[2013-06-07] A Google User: It's helped me to plan for more productivity by minimizing the waits It is helpful. |
|
[2013-06-05] A Google User: Great app! I like this app a lot, the new satellite map though I find is different. Only problem I have is not seeing the entire days schedule for a stop...keeps saying 'no trips at this time' |
|
[2013-06-04] A Google User: Crap! |
|
[2013-06-03] A Google User: Love it Solo helpful |
|
[2013-06-03] A Google User: Best OC App Great app let's you know where the bus is by gps. Therefore I finally know if I have to run or walk to the bus stop. :-P |
|
[2013-06-03] A Google User: Good Its gud bt nt accurate |
|
[2013-05-30] A Google User: It was okay... I use to LOVE this app. I used it everday. Since my job requires me to travel throughout the city. But ever since the update, the travel planner doesnt work at all. If this was to be fixed it wouls be a great app again |
|
[2013-05-30] A Google User: Great Love the bus GPS info. Just a few interface quirks that I keep tripping on. Keep up the good work. Update: I hate the satellite view on the maps. How do I change it back to a street map? |
|
[2013-05-29] A Google User: Trip planner not functioning The trip planner keeps telling me it can not work at this time. Not much use. |
|
[2013-05-29] A Google User: Generaly good The only problem I have is when looking at the route schedule it resets to the start time when changing stations. |
|
[2013-05-28] A Google User: Annoying!!! Half the time doesn't work, updates make the app uninstall from my phone. Travel planner doesn't work at all. |
|
[2013-05-26] A Google User: Nice overall It'd be nice to have an option for the "Near me" stops to be listed by distance instead of just appearing on the map. Also, not sure how the search works. Having a hard time searching for stops by intersection? |
|
[2013-05-26] A Google User: Efficient but not quick. I hate that i can only favourite the specific bus instead of the bus stop so i can look at each bus coming to the stop easily. I have to go back to favourites and re select the bus even though it used to give you the stop number and let you choose which route you want to follow. Deleting and downloading another app that lets me do just that. |
|
[2013-05-24] A Google User: I hate this app...it crashes a lot Waste of memory space |
|
[2013-05-23] A Google User: Great app! |
|
[2013-05-22] A Google User: Useful Comes in handy for most travel planning and route inquiries. Thanks. Latest update removed direct access to route schedules which was my most useful feature. |
|
[2013-05-18] A Google User: The change to the swip screen through me off at first. I'm still used to the previous version with my old phone Works fine. I love the gps. connectivity and favourites to save bus stops I often use |
|
[2013-05-17] A Google User: So close... It has all the potential to be a 5-star app, but 2 things have been driving me nuts about it. 1. It does not recognize the majority of addresses that I input into the travel planner - Google Maps is a MUCH better option for this feature. 2. For the majority of stops that I've entered, it only gives the next 3 trips for each route, I can't see the whole stop schedule even though one of the tabs is supposed to contain exactly that. Good try, but it really needs improvements. |
|
[2013-05-17] A Google User: No glitches I like it- its efficient and easy to navigate |
|
[2013-05-14] A Google User: Oc App good App. |
|
[2013-05-14] A Google User: Excellent app, map issues with latest update Thanks for the updates. Map works again but in satellite mode. Can you make this optional? I much preferred the plain map. |
|
[2013-05-14] A Google User: Buggy update New update removed route schedules , disabled gps tracking and left a bug that killed my battery in just 8 hours. Revert back to the previous version until the features are restored or bugs fixed. Sad I updated, now I don't have an app to use at all |
|
[2013-05-14] A Google User: Updated app no longer user friendly. It used to be very easy and intuitive to use. Now it is difficult to do the simplest task, such as add a new route to favorites. |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: Best OC Transpo app Back to for stars after the latest update. Now displays only the selected direction. |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: services that cost you money, directly call phone numbers?!?! what is this about?! |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: Map not working Thanks for a wonderful update, but map stopped working. A grey area comes on screen without a map on it on Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Please fix the issue, this was very useful while searching nearby places. |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: sad update good but when I recently updated, the map and gps doesnt work anymore |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: Scrolling is better Keep on making improvements! |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: Map not working I recently just updated this app and the map dose not show up any more when i click on the route time too see were it is on the map please fix.. operating samsung galaxy s3 |
|
[2013-05-12] A Google User: life saver amazing app. thank you! |
|
[2013-05-12] A Google User: Very useful!! |
|
[2013-05-12] A Google User: It's very good |
|
[2013-05-12] A Google User: Not a bad applicatoin The interface isn't the best but it does provide some great information with good features. |
|
[2013-05-10] A Google User: Terrible This app is clunky and frustrating to use. GPS tracking is nice (when it's actually available...) but I often give up trying to get the information I need out of it and use my browser to check the website instead. |
|
[2013-05-06] A Google User: Lots of great features... ...but the user interface needs to be streamlined a bit. After all, you're using this app to find time-critical information. The "near me" feature is excellent if you've never looked up a particular stop before. |
|
[2013-05-05] A Google User: Slow slow slow! Common favorites Takes like 2-3 minutes everytime I want to open Favourites!! Unbelievably slow!! Also, the screen overlaps on the previous menu instead of white background! |
|
[2013-04-27] A Google User: Perfect! This app is super useful. Not only does it tell you the times at any bus stop but also where the bus you are waiting for currently is. A must have for Ottawa residents! |
|
[2013-04-25] A Google User: Fonctionne bien mais pourrait être amélioré. J'aime utiliser cette application. Je trouve que c'est même plus facile de l'utiliser que de faire la recherche en ligne. Par contre, j'aimerais qu'il y ait un moyen d'avoir accès aux données obtenues une fois hors ligne (j'aimerais par exemple pouvoir faire une recherche de trajet sur le wifi chez moi et avoir encore accès au trajet une fois déconnectée). L'application efface les données une fois que je me suis déconnectée. J'aimerais aussi pouvoir mémoriser mes principaux lieux utilisés pour pouvoir sauver du temps. |
|
[2013-04-23] A Google User: Could be better. There are two things that would make this app perfect. First, when I click a station stop, like Baseline 1a, it just gives a list of all the buses that stop at Baseline, in both directions. It's annoying, but still workable. Also, the upcoming trips tab doesn't work half the time. |
|
[2013-04-23] A Google User: Great app |
|
[2013-04-23] A Google User: Fake data This shows how the buses should be running, NOT how they really are running. No wonder anytime I report massive delays to OCTranspo I always get the same reply: "our data show the buses were running on schedule" --- I just got a reply saying they only estimate buses schedule but in the overview they claim this app can "Display up to 3 trips using GPS real-time data". The app makes it look like it's providing real time data from the buses but in fact it is not |
|
[2013-04-16] A Google User: Great! Great app that works as intended! |
|
[2013-04-15] A Google User: Really convinient ' |
|
[2013-04-12] A Google User: WTF OCTRANSPO Whoever's idea it was to add that start button when you click favourites/history, WHAT were you thinking....it takes WAY too long to load |
|
[2013-04-12] A Google User: Oc Love It |
|
[2013-04-11] A Google User: Good app |
|
[2013-04-08] A Google User: Didn't use it much Pretty good so far. Will come back to post more |
|
[2013-04-04] A Google User: Jlome Show exactly time the bus come LOVE it |
|
[2013-04-03] A Google User: Good app for oc transpo My favorite feature that this app has over others is that it keeps a history of your previous queries for fast searches. |
|
[2013-04-03] A Google User: Has display corruption issues Otherwise a very handy app |
|
[2013-04-02] A Google User: Better before update After the update this app has caused me to mix up what bus I'm looking at bc even if you click a business route and direction SPECIFICALLY like 95 barrhaven for some reason both directions show up unlike before where it would just show the one you want. Yes it's my mistake for not noticing it says Orleans instead but if you click one direction it should only show times for that direction. Plus it constantly stops working even if I'm using lte speeds. I wish it would just go back to the way it was. |
|
[2013-04-02] A Google User: Great app! Extremely helpful. |
|
[2013-04-02] A Google User: Perfect! This is the app I use every day |
|
[2013-04-02] A Google User: Great app Love it |
|
[2013-03-31] A Google User: Finally This is the kind of app i was waiting for compared to its previous incarnation |
|
[2013-03-31] A Google User: Awesome app - don't like the new dark icon ** I can't see the new app icon on my home screen because it's too dark / not enough colors in it ** Awesome app man. Thanks for doing a job that the city or OC should have done a while ago! |
|
[2013-03-30] A Google User: Very helpful! Open data + smartphone app = handy! Very pleased with improved favourites now route + stop rather than just stop. Excellent work Dev! |
|
[2013-03-27] A Google User: Schedule issues Horizontal scrolling is broken on my phone. Makes the app nigh unusable. |
|
[2013-03-27] A Google User: Crap Cannot add favorite routes, not intuitive, exactly what I expect from OC Transpo |
|
[2013-03-27] A Google User: Great app |
