London Bus App Reviews

London bus

Line 7 is missing

Nicely made — but few routes

Only the centre of London is covered and even there, not all routes are included.

Love!

I love this app! It looks great, and is easy to figure out. My only complaint? I wish there were more routes included on the map. For instance, the route 88 bus which travels past the Tate Britain. Its one route that takes you through Whitehall, past Trafalgar Square and up Regent Street. It passes by many places that tourists would be interested in. If route 24 is on there, I think 88 should be too.

Garbage

Contains only major lines and only major hubs. The overwhelming majority of lines and stops are not in this app. This map is essentially useless as a route finder or scheduling travel for real use. Absolute waste of money.

London Bus

Crappy little app which is no more than a bus map showing a window on little more than one-sixth of the screen. Not even worthy of being a free app li title alone having to pay.

not useful for me

It covers only about 25 lines in Central London, not useful for me at all.

Covers only central London

Covers only very central London. :-(

Nearly useless

It offers a plain scanned outdated map of some central buses. Useful but not that much.

Like their London Tube App this is great!

Easy to use with similar functionality to their London Tube app. Great help above and below ground in London.

Bus user

A great app, well designed, with a lot of potential but needs the promised updates. For example Moorgate is served by 6 bus lines , but only the 43 is indicated in the app. Looking forward to the updates!!

Massively incomplete

This is an incomplete tourist attraction type map with many bus Lines and most of London actually entirely missing. This is just downtown London and even that is incomplete. Nice interface to not much information, unfortunately.

very limited

Only covers a couple dozen of the hundreds of London bus routes and only in the very center areas. Not terrible useful.

Not a good app

Lets just hope that Google gets the rights to the London transport for their Google maps as this app falls seriously short. Many of the central london bus routes are completely missing such and the 11 and 22. It really is a useless program in its present state.

Borderline Scam

I fell for the augmented reality hype and wanted to see it first hand. I thought it was worth the small price to have one of the first augmented reality apps. Unfortunately the app cant seem to figure out where I am located (yes, I have the 3Gs and Yelps augmented reality works fine -- and is free). Or perhaps it is just that the bus information is so grossly inadequate that it cant find the stop outside of my house. Either way, it puts a damper on the augmented reality thrill. You also dont get all the functionality you might think. Everything you click on prompts you to buy another app to activate the additional functionality! You are basically paying them to sell you their other apps. Very misleading. And as other reviewers have pointed out, the bus route information is inadequate. It includes less than two dozen bus routes. For a complete London Bus app check out the one by Malcolm Barclay. Overall this app is a waste of time and borderline scam (yeah, yeah I am sure they are covered in the fine print). Its not even worth the cheap thrill of the augmented reality -- assuming you can get it to work.

Has less than 30 bus routes

This has so few bus routes its virtually useless. Its UI seems more elegant than its competition, London Bus, but the latter actually has the bus routes so who cares? Disappointed.

Limited

I should have read the reviews first before wasting the 99p! Might be good for a tourist that wants to go <1 sq mile from the heart of city. Of the 5 buses that stop at my location, only 1 is recognized by this app. Even then it fails to recognize my stop which is a transfer point with the tube!

Poor!

Extremely limited number of routes! Not worth it ... Much better apps out there ... Sorry I did not read the reviews before buying.

Useless

So few buses and routes, effectively useless as a travel tool in London.

Only a paucity of routes

There are only a few (of the many) London bus routes depicted.

Stinks

This app stinks as it only has some of the bus routes
