2 ★ The bus times all saw "null" so what is the point of a time schedule? The bus icons remain stationary for an extended amount of time. We waited way over 30 mins per stop and wasted our day touring at bus stops. Sydney's Big Bus Tour isn't worth your time!!! Add more buses to decrease wait times.
1 ★ The app let us know that a race was causing detours and closures of stops. If that had been accurate or mostly accurate, it would have been okay. Had to walk over a block and get in front of the bus to get my group on the bus because they missed our stop, I used app to report issues first thing (waiting over 40 min at stop and then bus skipping it) but it took 2hours to hear back. Not impressed only about half the busses had guides and only 2 or 3 of those were pleasant.
2 ★ The info in the app was useful so the intentions where fine. I used the routes view a lot. Unfortunately the browser view blocked cookies so the payment couldn't be done from inside the app. Also I just uninstalled the app because a "how would you rate Big Bus" popup suddenly openen the app in the middle of me using another app which is terrible behavior.
2 ★ My review is based on the Singapore section of this app. - an option for buying tickets in local currency - buying tickets in major currencies (USD & GBP) is very useful - clicking on a bus stop & then Google maps automatically taking you to the stop would be very useful - nearest bus stop information isn't very accurate - real time bus information is also lacking
1 ★ Fails to find my location on map (permissions provided; using Samsung S7), stop locations on map don't provide address but using address reported in stop list is not correct when plugged into Google (e.g. 211 Richardson stop 12 in SF), no pictures provided to confirm pick up locations (and no signs at physical locations either). No geo location of buses to confirm where they are and how long to wait (and they don't run to a reliable schedule) so half the "tour" was spent waiting for the bus.
1 ★ Extremely difficult to use successfully on a Google phone. The map is impossible to use. The contact texting function is nowhere to be seen when you are trying to communicate with the owner of the company/assistance and the email link does not work. This is a disaster and should not be allowed on the Google play store.
1 ★ Tour was good but the app is entirely useless. We bought in store and there's no way to add the ticket to the app. Location doesn't work. We had service interruption due to a demo in Vienna and there was no notice, just some cancelled stops and a walk.
1 ★ Everything about this tour is horrible. They have tour busses with images painted on the windows so you can't see the objects being described. The sound of the guide is horribly distorted by the terrible sound system and the wind blowing over his cheap mic. I really want to jump off the bus and Uber to the airport but they have my luggage. I would rather have teeth extracted while someone burns my money before ever doing one of these miserable tours again.
1 ★ This app is sucks!!! I'm using it to plan my trip, it's said that only orange/yellow bus going to baker street, but when I hopped on from baker st., turns out it was red bus and it ruined all of my plan! We also can't check bus position live, even though it's said we can, the button just doesn't work
1 ★ Service times (reported) may be incorrect. "real time" bus tracking - doesn't work. App is heavy (48MB) Lots of adverising. wanta to start sending you PUSH notifications straight up. Save yourself the bother of downloading.
1 ★ Not user friendly, unable to find your map on app and often crashes or gets stuck in a loop. Failed at its sole purpose of allowing me to purchase a ticket, kept displaying an error message when I'd try to complete the purchase on multiple tries
1 ★ Can't even open the app. Have tried many times to open it since downloading this morning, but it freezes and then shuts down. Have literally been unable to use it for anything. Waste of time.
2 ★ Application works to show my location on my Android phone, but does not show the real time bus tracking in London or Dublin. That is the main reason I downloaded the app.
3 ★ Only as good as the buses' transmission of GPS data. Several times, the buses were not transmitting their locations in San Francisco and we could not see where they were to decide what stop to use.
1 ★ Very bad experience The application for dubai is not updated. It written for Emirates Mall the stop near gate 1 but there is no gate 1 on mall floor plan. I lost for 40 minutes and missed Atlantis palm one hour ride that I upgraded my ticket to premium for doing it. Don't recommend it
