This new version 1.5 is perfect!! I don't know if many ppl live in Toronto or bought this app but I'm glad I did tbh.. It doesn't crash, works on 4.0+ and it works without wifi and 3G turned on :) It's well over 5 stars.. One thing I'd like to see in the future is the blue night transfer routes.. How to get to a destination using blue night but it kinda has that as it already shows a transfer icon at an intersection. :) perfect!!!
I use it almost on a daily basis to check the schedule times of the buses I have to take. Especially usefil since not all bus stops have the schedule time of the buses I have to take. It also helps me find which buses are available according to streetnames. The maps are very useful as well. The only thing I could ask of the application is to allow the user to enter a start and end address and provide bus routes the user can take.
It worked 30 minutes without crashing (until I exited it). That makes it immensely superior to iTTC. This application is totally HUGE: 60MB!!! I have no idea what they keep in there! Don't download over 3G. My only major complaint is that certain schedules and stops are missing. Wherever this application is taking its data from isn't probably the best place for it. It would be nice to be able to choose my source. On the upside, this application has everything I want and more. A lot more. I like it, but I find it awkward to use. I think the GUI needs some work. One feature I liked in iTTC and don't see here is the ability to see how long until the next bus at all 4 stops in near my apartment building all in one screen. Apart from that - thumbs up.
I love the overlay of the street cars and the subway.
