Pros and cons of Muni Watch Transit App app for iPhone and iPad
Muni Watch Transit App app good for
Ive tried a few of the other apps out there but his is by far the best and easiest to use. Its fantastic because its dedicated to SF and the combo bus/streetcar/cable and that we have.
I use the Maps view all the time to get an idea where the busses are, and if theyre moving at all. It scrolls very quickly and there are way buttons to only show the routes I care about, which makes it a lot easier to read too!
This app is amazing in regards to accuracy of locations of the busses. I use it everyday to get around the city. The maps view gives you an idea of how far away your bus is so you can really plan ahead instead of waiting at bus stops!
The UI is a little clunky but you can customize the lines to show what you need. Has saved me a bunch of time.
I usually use google maps to find which line to use then check if there are any busses / trams coming soon with this app. It would be awesome if it did it all together.
I use it every day. Seldom it doesnt show a bus coming when there is actually a bus enroute. But most of the time its golden.
I use this app literally every day because its so useful. And today, when Muni renamed a bunch of routes and lookups started failing, I found out you can update the list of routes from settings, so it stays current. Awesome job!
Great app, lets me know when muni is coming so that I never miss it. The countdown makes it so I know exactly how much time is needed before I need to head over to the bus stop. I would highly recommend this app
Some bad moments
As much as I love the interface of this app, its main functionality is to get you to your stop on time. Living 2 mins from the J train stop, I decided to leave with 4 mins on the clock. When the timer hit 5 mins, it suddenly jumped to 3 mins, so I left immediately. I watched the J train leave the stop from my front door and the next one wasnt for 19 mins. Please make sure you can get the time in a better ballpark range than +/- 5 minutes.
Whole app off shows bus arriving or at stop but there is none
Routes 12 27 67
Or totally different bus
Fix gps !
Map is completely dysfunctional. Only if use to people who have no intention of getting anywhere in a timely fashion. Try harder.
This thing is always delayed and will inevitably make me miss my bus. I dont even want to estimate the minutes this stupid app has cost me in waiting for the next bus because Ive missed mine. It used to be a lot more reliable but recently has gone to sh*t.
Dont get any information with this app. A total disappointment and completely useless.
This app is pretty good overall, but Im only giving it one star until they make "show all stops" optional again. Its really annoying having to see every stop for every line even though Im only view and one line. Sometimes a stop for another line is placed over the one for the line Im viewing, making me have to zoom in a lot in order to click the stop Im actually trying to see the time for. There used to be a way to change this in the settings but theyve gotten rid of it for no reason and its stupid and it makes the app way more annoying to use.
