Contact Routesy Support

I previously left a negative review because I couldn’t remove ads even though I’d previously paid for Routesy Pro. And it appeared as though the developer had moved to a subscription model. The first problem was just a bug, which the developer has since fixed. And I was just wrong about the subscription thing. So, I’m updating my review to reflect this. Edit: Also, to clarify since I’d previously complained about subscription models, I really don’t expect perpetual updates to the app for no additional charge. I’d be happy to pay again for major updates. I’m mostly against being locked in to recurring monthly payments, which is what I *thought* was happening, but I was wrong.

This app has almost as many issues as muni and BART do. Every single day I use this app there is a “phantom bus” situation, where either the app says there is a bus coming with a decreasing arrival time, until all of a sudden the eta resets after reaching “arriving now”, or the app doesn’t show a bus and then a bus comes. The user interface has stated the exact same for years, and clearly has not been developed further or had any improvements. The “favoriting” option is limiting and makes you stick to one stop. You have to search for bus lines manually vs. nearby buses and stops automatically appearing...

This app is good if you are going to check it once and then go to your muni stop. It’s not great if you are going to try to check the app more than once. The first time the times will load, but if you go to update it, I find that it idles on the loading screen and I do not receive an update. It’s incredibly frustrating. I will then go and close out of the app to see if it will restart. Same issue. As for timing, it’s relatively accurate, but I’ve definitely needed to sprint to the muni or missed it a couple of times.
