When scrolling, whether it's a bus or through the stops the app just crashes. It is now completely unusable, maybe focus on making sure it works rather than making cosmetic changes. This is on an android phone

The adverts added a short time ago, have made this bus app unusable. I will be switching to another bus app that is more user friendly.

Keeps crashing when I search for a bus. My app has been updated so it's not that.

Used to be a decent app... until the ads started to increase to showing so often! Now ads show every time you try to interact with the app, even if it's just tapping the 'back' arrow. Seems like greed for the better of the app owners :( Now looking for a decent replacement. I can't rely on an app which shoves ads at me when I'm in a hurry and trying to work out the fastest way to get a connected bus/train! Such a shame.

Used to be great but ads now making it unusable. Every time I now go into the app a full page ad pops up, obscuring the bus details you are trying to see, and you have to wait a few seconds before you are able to dismiss it. Not helpful when you are trying to make a quick journey connection. Would happily pay a one-off amount for an ad-free version but may have to look elsewhere. Developers please take note! This sort of change is surely counter-productive if you drive people away from the app!?

*UPDATE*: After the latest update I'm seeing a "Running" notification in my status bar, even when the app is closed. A bit concerning - only way I can get rid of it is to do a forced stop in the app settings. Bus updates can be slow during peak times. But overall a good app. Would be great if it showed temporary bus stop closures.
