"Should start on the map screen, not on a menu with many options that people are probably not coming on the app for. It`s glitchy and laggy when zooming in and out, all the logos are ugly, routes that are not in service (like the commuters on weekends) are not labeled as such in any way. The routes button is a weird road symbol, I would appreciate if the button literally just said ``routes``. Y`all know what double map looked like, you can at least make it the same quality..."

"Delivers inaccurate and delayed information. Will ruin your commute if you rely on it. I don`t know why they are forcing us to migrate to a broken app. A shame."

"Don`t see the improvement over doublemap, and the other reviews rightly note problems with icons and lag times. Please don`t retire doublemap until these problems fixed."

"Confusing UI, does not update real time, map display even worse than Double Map, busses literally don`t show up on the map and I have the most up to date version of the app"

"Far less convenient than Double Maps. The best user interface is the one you don`t notice, and I can`t help but notice how cluttered and non-user friendly this app feels."

"Has more useful information than DoubleMap but the bus icons are way too big (who needs a huge circle icon?) and moving the map is very prone to lag and freezing. In its current state, considerably worse than DoubleMap. I`m currently using Transit instead. Until this app is better than Transit, there is no incentive to use it."

"I actually sent an email asking for this app. The application is rolling out this week but will continue to update and improve for a while. So far it`s not bad, this time the live map actually has all the buses shown on the map, unlike Doublemaps where buses seem to disappear on the map. It definitely doesn`t update the map in perfect real time, but the map updates bus locations and their intended directions every few seconds. Will update my opinion as they refine the application. Not bad rn"

"The map is a bit laggy, and the estimated arrival times for buses are often covered up by the bar on the bottom of the screen when you click on a stop. However, you can get around this problem by searching for stop times without the maps. The trip planner function, which seems to be able to plan trips using Ride buses, also seems helpful though I haven`t used it yet. Overall, I`d switch to this app once the interface (especially the map) is cleaned up, but for now I`m sticking with Doublemap."

"This app is basically the University of Michigan trying to replace something that`s not broken. The DoubleMap app currently works great for seeing bus schedules. However, while this app serves it`s basic function, it has a very tacky feel to it."
