updated database locked up app and now makes it non functional. I can reset but then all my saved routes and stops will be lost. Useful when it works but clunky interface with the aforementioned issue

I used this app everyday before COVID. I like the interface - it's very convenient to see multiple bus arrival times at the same time, and the ads are unobtrusive.

with a recent data change from the source, developers discarded all favorite data without any advance warning, instead of presenting it in a form that would allow users to recreate it Unacceptable. Early on a snowy Saturday morning when it's critical to have correct arrival information, I watched a bus go by, then the next refresh updated to show the bus location by GPS as still being several stops and more than 1 minute from arrival Unacceptable COMPLETELY BROKEN

Great app. But there are so many quality of life features that are missing. Why can't I delete roots that are no longer running? Why can't I organize multiple roots to better see where point A and point B are?

Update: Though this Bus Buddy app may have been improved, there's a new problem. The Bus Buddy has the bus stops all being displayed in the same or one direction For example, if it's a southbound route, that bus stop will be displayed on the same side as the northbound route. This Bus Buddy was problem free for a long time until Monday, September 6, 2021 until it started crashing when you no sooner open it! I even did some troubleshooting to try to resolve the problem, but to no avail!!!😠

Been using this app since around the start. It loads up quick and is easy to use. Thanks for the reliable and ( unlike OC so many days ) comprehensive information when things changed in the app.

OCTranso has changed their data systems which has necessitated a change in the app. Due to this change, existing favourites could no longer be used and need to be recreated once the new app in installed. The new version includes provides better information related to bus trips that have been cancelled and added. Thanks for continuing to use BusBuddy Ottawa.
