DC Next Bus for Negative User Reviews
✓ Used to swear by this app... Now not so much.This used to be a great app. Was spot on with WMATA buses and about 90% accurate with Ride On buses... Now the WMATA buses are rarely accurate and the Ride On buses don't even show up. Very disappointed hope they fix it before I decide to delete it. Wish I could give it half a star..Version: 3.02
✓ Too many updatesThis app is useful but every time I open it up it tells me I need to update the stops. This takes almost a minute each time. Not practical and very annoying for someone who is in a hurry..Version: 4.05
✓ Good for a timeI just had to stop using this app today. It served me well for a while but now just can't seem to display the right times or sometimes a time will be displayed then disappear. Will definitely use this again if they can fix it but until that time ill be using another app..Version: 3.02
✓ Waste of Money, garbageDon't buy, this application, most if the bus stops I tried to check for next bus don't work. I tried to get my money back and there is no way to get it back. I don't know how apple after Jobs allows these junk apps to be placed in the AppStore..Version: 4.03
✓ UselessIt used to work fine, but the redesigned app is useless. It only shows stops within a block or so of where I am so I can't get info to help me decide which stop will be better for me. Can't find a way to favorite multiple route so that I can tap that to look at the two routes I want and decide which to take. Hate it..Version: 3.02
✓ Needs Bus DestinationsI like this app a lot. It is pretty accurate with bus arrival times. However there is not information other than that. There is no way to tell where the bus is headed. Also there should be a list of near-by stops and bus lines, as well as a favorites button so I don't have to search for my bus stop every morning. Aside from those things i think this app is great..Version: 1.3
✓ Does exactly what it saysSure, it SHOWS the location of bus stops. That's great and all, but what if I'm trying to get from one place to another? I'm just trying to figure out which buses to take and where to transfer. It takes forever trying to scroll throughout the map finding the locations. I don't understand why this app can't offer simple directions for getting from Point A to Point B..Version: 4.02
✓ Please fix - inaccurate timingI have almost missed my bus for the fourth time this week because the app shows it's going to arrive in 10 mins and suddenly drops to 2 mins within seconds -- because of this inaccuracy, Ive been having to run after my bus to make it. Please fix this. Based in Washington, D.C., bus route 96..Version: 5.05
✓ Not bad, but frustratingThe other reviewers have legit complaints. It is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get data for a given stop, and the route information is not current. However, the arrival data has been satisfactory. It is difficult to know which problems are specific to this app and which are due to the DC Metro system. I find the app useful despite these issues..Version: 3.02
✓ Could be betterJust this morning showed three separate buses were coming which never showed up. Much less accurate than the old nextbus dc app. I find the map format annoying as well. You can't search for stops on a certain bus route, so it's only helpful if you already know where the bus goes..Version: 2.51
✓ FOR ENTERTAINMENT USE ONLYMuch like the magic 8ball it can be right on the money or *shake shake* try another app. I think if you use this to compare when busses actually arrive you'll see that sometimes this app gets it right. Other times you'll see busses come up that aren't scheduled to be there!!! Route 29! Holla if u hear me.Version: 3.02
✓ Used to work wellThis app used to be great, but for the last month it hasn't been accurate at all. Hopefully there's a helpful update soon.Version: 3.02
✓ STOP updating!This app was great till they started "updating" it. It gets worse with each improvement. Quit dicking around with it!.Version: 2.1
✓ Lots of updatingRequires constant updates. Some stops never show up. Accurate as far as buses but a pain to maintain..Version: 4.05
✓ It's not working at all!!"No nearby buses" is the only update received when clicking on any and all purple pins!! That's not the point of the app, is it?.Version: 5.09
✓ Timing is offThe arrival times for my bus stops are wrong about 90% of the time. Didn't have this problem before the latest update.Version: 5.03
✓ Waste of SpaceIt used to be the best app on the market for wmata; now it's worthless. If you're using this during rush hour, prepare to either miss a bus or wait for a half an hour. Pathetic..Version: 3.02
✓ I deleted it from my phoneFirst I thought it was good, because there was the first bus stop I was going to use after downloading it. But then I realized that many other stops just weren't there, so it's pretty useless..Version: 2.3
✓ Used to be goodLast year I downloaded this app and it was great but after several updates it keeps getting worse, the times are never right anymore..Version: 2.51
✓ Not accurateAll over the map.Version: 5.09
✓ MediocreWhen it works it works well. Sadly it only works about 60% of the time. I get unable to load errors all the time in downtown DC outside with service..Version: 5.03
✓ Steals your dataWhen you open the app it copies your clip board in to the app..Version: 6.03
✓ Used to work...now uselessIt has not been updated recently so its transit predictions are off so much that it is pretty much useless. If you have a 20 minute window then it is helpful, but if not it is better to just guess..Version: 3.02
✓ Limited usefulnessFor some reason it doesn't seem to work for many (definitely running) bus lines at night. My other apps detect a bus arriving but not this one, I often get "no bus detected" for certain bus lines. Next thing you know, a bus shows up. Add to this annoyance, the fact it asks you to "download new stops database" every time you open the app, and it takes a minute or more, and then often fails that operation..Version: 4.05
✓ Variable resultsNow that the NextBus lite app is dead, I find myself having to use this inaccurate, frustrating app. No maps either. I hope nextbus comes back even though that wasn't perfect either..Version: 2.5
✓ Ride on??Does this work for ride on bus? I don't see any of the stops near my place even though I have the setting for ride on enabled....Version: 5.03
✓ It's not precise nowThis app used to estimate next bus very well. But unfortunately now it is not precise at all, I have to delete it although I have had it for over a year:(.Version: 5.09
