Catch The Bus: Bus Tracker App Reviews

This app was super helpful and awesome for quite a while, but is due for an update. The case of the disappearing ghost bus keeps happening. Also, not sure if the system delivers info on Not In Service busses, but the app reads them as in service. I would gladly pay for my share of an update if it means getting the awesome service I used to experience!

I echo what others have said, that this app used to be GREAT but it really needs an update now. (The Boston MBTA schedules have adjusted quite a bit since the last update.) I used to use it in conjunction with the google maps app, and that made me a transit goddess, but now Im back to being a mere google maps mortal. :( Please please please, developers, update this app!!

This app doesnt reflect changes in MBTA stops for the bus routes. Ive tried catching buses that I know, for a fact, stop at certain places but the app says the stops dont exist. Conversely, I also sat at a bus stop that the app specifically listed as the end of the line for one route but, according to MBTA staff, it ceased to exist months ago. Ill start to use the app again when it is more accurate and up-to-date.

Needs an update for iOS 8 can no longer add a stop to favorite

Great app usually, but needs fixing to work with iOS8. If you try saving a stop to your favorites the app crashes and closes. Will check back later this week to see if its fixed.

Whenever I try to save to my stops it crashes... So one of the major features of this app doesnt work. Otherwise it is helpful.

Great app, but the developer has abandoned it.

Please fix this app is so buggy OMG

Ive used this app every day, during my morning and evening commute, for years, and it works great. Thanks so much for the iOS 8 update! Keep up the good work!

CatchTheBus is perfect. Simple, direct and fast. Despite it not supporting my iPhone 5s screen for the last two years, I couldnt bring myself to use any of the now dozens of competitors on the App Store. I tried them all, and CatchTheBus simply gets me the information I want faster. Thank you so much for the update!

This update is awful. Times dont automatically update. Home screen doesnt show all stops. Should be able to customize. Once app is closed, reverts back to home screen not like the last app which stayed on your saved stops. Very buggy update. Go back to the old way please. Still going to give 5 stars because its a great overall app.

Despite having loved the previous version of this app, I can only give three stars now since the developer has shown themselves to be careless with my data. Woke up this morning to find all my data gone. No one expects an app thats been stable for over two years to suddenly update and break itself.

Love the predictions and quick access to saved stops on the MBTA.l! Almost makes rising the bus comparable to the train.

I use this app every commute to track Bostons MBTA buses and the times are remarkably accurate and very helpful.

Best feature is the real-time bus locations on the maps. Unfortunately here in Boston sometimes buses return to their starting point and then vanish instead of starting their next trip. Maybe the MBTA takes them out of service. So the maps arent completely reliable. Lost all my favorite stops in the October 2014 update.

Live map view rocks… Thanks...

Please this app would rock even more if a Notification Center widget is added, please take advantage of iOS 8 at its best!

I rely on this app, but its not always accurate. Sometimes it doesnt show a bus going by. After downloading the latest update lost all my saved buses and stops. Very disappointed. I will look for a better app..

39 inbound route lately is showing 2 buses arriving one in 3 min and the next in 12 min but the 3 min bus never comes. This matters in the freezing cold.

App reports busses that mysteriously disappear. Waste of time.
