Wrong or poor results5%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Ever since the server incident, the bus time is not accurate.

광고 보여주는거까진 너무 좋은대요 네. 돈 버셔야죠 그쵸, 근대 그걸 왜 1초가 중요한 버스 놓칠 타이밍에 보여주냐는거죠. 나중에 버스 보고 나서 보여줘도 됬잖습니까.

업데이트를 어떻게 이렇게 한 건지..... 원래는 벨 누르면 몇 정거장 전이건 몇 분이 남았는지 떴는데 지금 뜨는 건 앱이 사용 중에 있다는 알림..;; 3정거장 전에야 겨우 알려주는데 실시간 업데이트가 안 되어서 1분 남은 시점도 5분으로 표기됨 자세한 정보는 꼭 클릭하고 버스 정보까지 스크롤해야 몇 분인지 알 수 있는 현황.... 대체 왜 이런 업데이트를 한 거죠? 진짜 쓰레기 됐습니다

★★★★★May 13, 2025
