Latest reviews of CU Transit app for iPhone and iPad
I love this app. It helps me navigate through all of Champaign and Urbana. The bus times are always updated so that you know if a bus is behind schedule. It also allows you to type in a place you would like to go and then gives you several options of how to get there. It knows my location so know matter where I am, it can point to me to the nearest bus stop for a route home.
This is a simple, well-designed, and feature filled CUMTD app. This is how the rest should be made. I gave up on transit apps for Champaign-Urbana after I discovered they were all pretty bad and just stuck a web link to the CUMTD website on my springboard. This, however is my new go to app for buses. I have an iPod Touch 4G especially like how it has the Stopwatch codes stored already. I cant tell you how many times Ive needed a Stopwatch code reference while stranded in a no-wifi zone. You can also view a route map for each bus that is superimposed on Google Maps and not just CUMTDs rather messy bus route maps, and you can even see where a bus is on the superimposed map. (Albeit, the bus location updates sporadically. See below. ) A few suggestions and comments for the developer: -Perhaps display the Stopwatch code for stops on the Bookmark list -Alphabetical ordering of the Bookmark list would be nice -I dont know if this is CUMTDs issue or one with the app but the current bus location pin when viewing a route map tends to only update every minute, no matter how many times the refresh button is pressed. Again, this might be a limitation presented by CUMTDs GPS system and not an issue with the app itself.
I give it 4 stars since just starting to use it. I love the maps and trip planner. Keep improving it as you get feedback.
Excellent app that is functional, lots of features, yet still very easy to use.
Wow. Ive been waiting for exactly this!! Like others Ive been just saving the results from the usual web page searches to my home screen, which is okay, but a real app with features like this is just what Ive been hoping someone would write.
