Pros and cons of Bus New York City app for iPhone and iPad

Bus New York City app good for

Its a fundamental tool for every tourist who wants to have a great time in NY! It really works and im really satisfied with it.
I like how organized and clear this app is. Very helpful for someone who just moved to NYC!
Best bus app I have used and I have tried many. Love the realtime gps bus maps . Would like it even better if I could see the subway stations on the single bus route maps. I also like that they are adding realtime subway arrival time to the app. It is very easy to use and I use this app everyday. Worth every penny!
Works extremely well. Frequent updates. Also works with location service switched to "off". BusTime and printed schedules. And the subway!!!Which is good because things change A LOT in NYC.
This is the best app Ive tried Unlike other apps Ive tried, GPS information is very accurate. A widget would come very handy to check bus times in an instant
Superb and easy to use app for tracking bus times and routes. I love that you can "Star" your preferred bus stops and pull them easily from the "Favorites" list. Very helpful when running late and you need FAST and ACCURATE schedule information!

Some bad moments

this is the worst app for bus arrivals! i always have to factor in 5-10 extra minutes because the estimates are never right and the app does not factor in delays and changed bus routes. the app also will say the bus is coming when it never shows up and other times the app does not even know when there are available buses. highly unreliable. i am very frustrated i paid money for this app that has made me so late and wait for so long.
Is so so sometimes I go outside cause the bus is almost there and it never shows up, you think that this is the MTA app it would b the most Accurate but is not.
Local NYC buses make many stops and so using a map picture of the route is not helpful. It is very hard to see where a bus is located and in what direction. Text output would be much easier to read especially on the go.
It would be great to select a bus route, a stop from that route and get a alert or text when the next bus will be arriving at that stop. Maybe too much to ask but its just a wish. Add widget support where we can see our when the next bus is arriving to our favorite stops.
Unless you take cabs everywhere, this will come in handy. Its great for checking on the elusive G train to decide whether I want to take the subway or bike. Also since I live in Brooklyn, I need buses to get around and visit friends. This is great for those cold nights. You can duck out of a warm place just in time to catch a bus so youre not stuck at a bus stop too long. Game changer!
This app is awesome!! The time tracking is as accurate as ever. The best.
