Not very accurate. I rely on the widget to keep me updated , rarely does it work or seem to match the app when I open it to double check. A 21 minute wait for next bus in widget is 2 mins in app. This has been going on for months. I paid for a year and free apps with ads have better timing and bus trackers.

Edit/Update Taken it down to 1* as new ad vendor preferences popped up today, aggressive ones, it took me over 5 minutes to uncheck all the vendors. Used to be a fantastic app, it was simple and effective. Recently it's become a data and advertising monster and your aggressive permissions from multiple vendors is unnecessary. A simple 'Reject All' option would have been nice. I found a better, simpler and more effective bus app that I'm using instead. Been using the app for over 5 years too.

I'm afraid I'm another who will be uninstalling this app. I find the updated version unusable. Far too much phaff to get to the information you need. If you can get there at all. Worse, the new version has removed the functionality I found most useful in the original; the ability to punch in a particular bus route number, identify the stop you want and read the times. No longer seems to be possible now.
