Ratings and Reviews
Tracker working again
The app stopped working late last week and I contacted the developer. He told me that he was working on it and it was fixed today. I appreciate it that he reached out to all of us who had contacted him to let us know of the new version(3.3). I agree that frequently the app is not 100% accurate for the MBTA, but it works for me. I’ve used it for years and find it generally helpfully esp the map which is accurately 80% of the time fo my bus routes in Boston. I also used ProximiT and find the performance of both apps to be comparable in its predictions
Great App
I’ve used this every day just about since it came out.
Unfortunately the MBTA changed its data sources, but the developer jumped right on it and fixed it.
Love how you can add favorites and give them custom names !
Some people complain about it saying time “x” for 10 mins. The app is using GPS data to determine distance of the bus from you !!
If the bus is stuck in traffic - the app doesn’t know that. It just knows it’s X distance from you. Learn/understand how things work before you go trash the app.
You need to realize that if the time is not changing, switch to GPS view. You’ll see the bus isn’t either - most likely due to traffic or construction. The app DOES give you an icon too that tells you that it’s off it’s normal schedule and running late.
Great app, now that it is fixed!
This is IMO the best app for MBTA bus predictions, based on real-time GPS location data. It shows the location and id number of each bus and when the app is working, it is as accurate as can be expected. It went down for about a week through no fault of the app and I really appreciated its value when it was suddenly unavailable.
