Bus, for Purdue, Lafayette, and West Lafayette App Reviews

It gets the job done. Could be more accurate

Use this app all the time. Way better than DoubleMap! Keep up the great work!!

This app is extremely easy to use. Itll even tell you what stops are nearby. And it has a sense of humor—if there are no buses scheduled at a particular stop in the next hour, itll say something like "Aargh! It appears that there are no stops scheduled for the next hour." There are only two issues I have. First, the "+" button which adds a stop to your favorites list should be something more obviously reflecting its functionality, such as a heart. I know a lot of people whod be confused by this. Second, itd be nice if there were an option to browse stops by bus route. During the summer, theres only one bus that stops near my apartment, and it would be nice to know where else it stops.

Ive Barely started using this version and it is almost incomparable to the older one because its so good.

As a disclaimer: this is not the official citybus app. This app fills a need that existed for some time, and fortunately or unfortunately, citybus now has their own official app through DoubleMap, although that is not well advertised. This is a great start to an app that I have been anticipating for some time, and I really appreciate the effort that has gone in to getting it online. Two additional features would make this app great, and one more would make it superb in my mind. First: I like that you have added the bus schedules, but now please change the bus schedule display to a list of all stops for that bus (in order) such that you can click on one stop and the app goes to the information page for that stop. This would make it so much easier to find the stop you are looking for than the current implementation, wherein you need to know the cross street to get anywhere. Second: add a map that shows all of the stops, maybe with different colored flags for each bus route that goes there. Then the user can click on a stop from the map, and a popup can come up and tell you what routes go there. The user can then click on the popup to go to the information page for that stop and see the times to arrival. Having this in two steps is important in case you are just searching for a particular route and only want to see the times to arrival once you have found the right stop. Finally: add live tracking in two ways. First, add an indicator on the route information page (update as indicated above) that shows where the bus is along that route. Second, add an indicator on the map (implemented as indicated above) that shows the buses (or selected buses) in real time. You may want to take a look at the Smart Ride app and how they do their interface. Dont copy of course, but some of their functionality should really be incorporated. Keep up the good work!

Simple and easy app, ridiculously useful for the elusive buses such as 4b which doesnt know the meaning of on time.

Extremely useful and well designed...

More reliable than the official app

Now i dont have to wait outside indefinately saved me great amount of time and wish ppl to use more often. great job man!

Its about time we had a decent bus app that actually did what everyone wants it to do. Every purdue student should have this app!!!

Intuitive and easy to use. GPS based bus stop locator is really handy.

This app is amazing, much better than any other Purdue bus app, especially the one they tell us to download. And yes, I read the release notes :)

Does exactly what it says. This removes the confusion of when my bus should be here. Love the bookmarks! Thanks TJ and Night Rider

When purdue changed the bus app within their iphone app I needed a new bus app that wasnt so difficult to figure out. Boose is that app!

Works great. (Only rated so I can say that I do always read the release notes.)

Hey, I read the notes and the app is awesome:) Like the previous one, only rated because I want to say I read the note:)

If added some function like clock or reminder, for example, it will ring if the bus comes five minutes later, that would be greater =,=

Very useful and efficient. But recently it sometimes showed there is something wrong with myride web and cannot display bus schedules anymore. But I check the official website and it still works fine

Use it all of the time. Its really fast and looks good too.

This app was amazing..! Then it stopped working...
