Very angry. It was the best app on market when it was new. Loved it - fast, accurate, easy to handle. Now is the worst on market. I can see for the developers the money first. Adds and adds and adds, when the people want to see one thing: when and where the next bus us coming. That WAS the best and qickest app to do it. Now full with adds. Purpose lost. And before you answer, please don't. I will switch to other, free, quicker app - as you are not alone with your app, and not worth pay for it.

App tells you what time the bus will arrive to the minute but sometimes it is not as accurate as others but generally very good. It also gives you the registration number of the bus as well. Times of buses generally correct. Much better than other apps I have used. Shame other bus apps are not as good for non London routes. Bus stop letters are shown - very useful if you have to get off train and use bus. Planner though does not work.

Pointless app now outdated by integration with Google maps. The information you get from the app TFL provide freely to anyone who wants it and while they do have to make the app and host it you can get all the information in Google maps making this obsolete. Especially as you don't have to sit through any ads on there. It's incredibly frustrating when you want to quickly open the app to decide to get the bud coming or wait for another to be presented with a 30 second ad just use Google maps

Hi Philip, this is an issue we are still investigating as a matter of urgency. We are working on some minor changes that we are hoping will make a big difference to the battery consumption. We hope you can be patient with us while we work on this.
