I love this app! GO works amazingly and the idea of crowd sourcing, while not super widely used here yet, is still such a genius way to track busses when all else fails. still, I kinda wish Transit could pull real time locations from the agency here since that's already available in my city. Also, it would make me so happy if Transit introduced turn by turn navigation for walkers walking to the bus stop and just walking to their destination. Will be a keeper well past my sponsored sub expires :)

Constantly have to force stop when, after reaching one's destination, the app won't work correctly when attempting to connect to an adjoining route - it basically has to be reset (via force stop) to restore its normal functionality. Another bug issue is that you can only change the app icon color a few times before it "locks" and it can no longer be changed without uninstalling / reinstalling, which afterwards warns you you'll have to contact them if you uninstall / reinstall again. What a mess.

Could be great, but frustrating. I installed this app primarily for the subway time widgets, but they work at best 10% of the time. Most of the time, they are simply a grey block. Often, they are hours out of date. And it's not clear what it's choosing to show. I also wanted to contribute to their "Go" location tracking, but it's not designed for the NY subway. You have to follow their exact directions, you can't get on an early train, nor can you help if you are already on a train.
