A monkey missing all of their limbs could design a better app. The bus schedules need to have network connectivity even though for a majority of the time they are fixed and take forever to load. The bus tracking almost never works or isn't turned on. The app is slow even though there is little data needed. It will say "No buses are running" when they are. Busses will not show up when the app specifically says they will. I would rate 0 if I could.

Has the most basic information on route schedules and route stops. Do not rely on the app for anything else as all other functionality is either broken, slow, or non existent. Do yourself a favor and use the unofficial apps. At least the developers for those apps will listen tl feedback. Detour and delay information is not displayed so in emergencies, you must check BT transit's (unimpressive) website.

Only useful for seeing the bus routes, as the expected times for buses to be at bus stops is quite often incorrect by 5-15+ minutes. After a bus is late, if you tap the stop for information, the old trip information disappears. Live tracking is delayed by long enough that it isn't very useful, except to inform whether the bus is running at all. The "Contact BT" button in the app doesn't even work.

The devs have added some features that I think have made this app much better these days, including showing all stop times in one place and being able to filter by full/reduced service. All the information you need on which busses will stop where and when is here now. You still will most likely not use the trip planner, and the live map is not always super reliable or up to date, but overall the app is tremendously useful, especially for those new to the area.

If you click on routes and schedule, and choose a bus, it says that bus is not active, even though on the live map where you can see bus locations in real time, all the buses are active.

This app highkey sucks. Other than the fact that it's buggy and can't provide proper up to date info, it doesn't even work at night. None of the routes show as active and I have to ask someone else with an iPhone to check their apps to tell me the times.
