1. 3/5Needs massive route update

   A few years ago this app was wonderful. It showed all the local routes for Suffolk County New York. I recently been in a very bad accident. I cannot drive I need to take public transportation. I downloaded a trans app and they have not updated any of the route information at all. Suffolk County has updated and added new routes to the bus lines and this is not reflected in the trans lock app. Many times I’ve tried to get my bus and I don’t no where it is I don’t know if it came early if it’s coming late or how long I’ll be standing in the rain. Two of the lines that I currently use are newly added lines that are combinations of other lines or just a new route in Total. Please update your app to the new routes of the Suffolk transit authority, and Suffolk County on Long Island in New York

2. 2/5Please return the old Rider app

   As noted by many users, the new TransLoc app is great if you just want to know when the next public transit of any kind in your immediate area is coming. If you want to look at a route you AREN’T immediately standing on or figure out a SPECIFIC route, well, you’re out of luck. I used to be able to look AHEAD of where I EXACTLY was, but, like the Start button on Windows, wiser developers than I removed a beloved easy to use, powerful feature, then told us why we didn’t need it when we users said we missed the feature and didn’t like the interaction with the new feature, you removed one of your best features and will probably tell us why this one we don’t like to use is better and we’re dumb for wanting the simpler older tool back until you cave after way too much complaining. Please bring back the old map/route feature from Rider.

3. 2/5They’re always moody (too late or too early)

   Today my bus was 2 hours late and when it got here they gave us 3 minutes to get out before they left us. Other days when I’m at school, they come earlier than when I schedule and get mad at me because I can’t leave the school building until it’s time to leave (which is the time a schedule). Sometimes they would even leave me at the school with no way home. Other times they come an hour or two later. I’ve never gotten a bus on time, but I don’t mind it being a few minutes of. As a student I felt like I had a little control over how I get to and from school.

4. 1/55 Star Review Awards!

   Any reasonable person can see that most if not all genuine reviews this app has received give it the worst possible rating. Yet the developers clearly paid a little for &/or spent some time concocting the sprinkling of absurd 5 star reviews, and also probably lucked into a few written by folks who truly don’t know any better, or maybe wanted to be polite. I felt that these obviously phony, sadly ignorant, & either way highly entertaining bits of nonsense deserved some recognition. So it is my great pleasure to announce the First Ever Amusingly Ridiculous Review Content Awards! In 3rd place, the definitely elderly gentleman who signed the review with his full name. Next, in 2nd place- This absolutely real person is a real student at a totally not made up school. He says the app is a huge help getting around campus, because he doesn’t have a car. I guess that entirely nonfictional location is one place it actually works... So give it up for the Runner Up: “Grad Student” at “North East University!” And finally, the Grand Prize Winner, by unanimous decree of the judge. This was the clear champion, the review that perfectly expresses the spirit of this coveted award. The author is a genius, beyond all doubt, as well as the Village Oaf somewhere in Appalachia. The words say it all: “see bus, no more afraid”

5. 1/5Why?? New app is terrible

   The old Rider app was perfectly fine. I have so many issues with this app that was forced upon us. First, UI functionality is awful, eith the old rider app, selecting the stops would show what routes service it and the time left before the next would arrive. The new app does not do that as one has to tap into the stop and bring up individual routes, adding extra steps and not even allowing for a comparison of the routes. Next, the routes colors do not intermingle like the Rider app used to, only showing a single color even if multiple routes service it. Additionally, the shuttle icons are big and bulky, and even the timing is inaccurate. Finally, the routes don’t even load up half of the time, making me miss my shuttle. If I had to give serious feedback, just bring back the old app, it was a better one across the board.
