myStop Mobile: Bus Tracker

Update! After years of frustration with this app, they finally got it right! What I found out though was that I didn’t see the new improvements until I deleted the app and reinstalled it. This is a bit of a flaw in itself but the benefits make the app much more useful. It no longer automatically zooms out and a recent upgrade had caused the underlying map disappear. But all that’s fixed now! And the feature that kept me using it was the live bus progress updates which I haven’t found in any other bus app. Very pleased now! Previous Karenesque post: One of the most useful features of this app is the real time updates of where my bus is. Soon after I started using this app, however, I found that it frequently zoomed out of the magnified view that I set. The developer said that it only did that when I looked at another app and left MyStop in the background or if I let my phone go to sleep and it was normal for a mapping app to do so (not true since no other mapping app does this that I’ve observed). Regardless, I found this functionality manageable if still obnoxious. A recent upgrade to the app has made it far worse, however - now it zooms out every time the map updates. This is really annoying. When I use the app. I want to be able to narrow the view down to the part that’s relevant to me - I don’t want to be forced to view the whole route. The feedback function doesn’t work, either. A simple text message never uploaded even at home with 5g WiFi. And then I found that the captcha contact form on their website didn’t work either. As a former programmer myself, this all strikes me as very sloppy development. No longer Sloppy! Update!After years of frustration with this app, they finally got it right!

The Wenatchee public transportation system must be the best in our country. Not having to deal with passes and fares is good. I find the bus more convenient than digging my car out of the garage.

You can set your watch by the bus schedule! It is always on time and the drivers are very courteous! Always on time! You can set your watch by the bus schedule! It is always on time and the drivers are very courteous!

Now the app recognizes my iPhone larger text setting. I don’t know when the update was made, but since this app gives me the most route options I’m glad I didn’t give up on it. Much thanks to the developers. Now it’s great!! Now the app recognizes my iPhone larger text setting.

App works great, but when scrolling up to see all stop times, the Dynamic Island on the newer iPhones prevents you from moving the tab back down so you can see the map/ navigate the rest of the app. Quality App, Problem with Dynamic Island App works great, but when scrolling up to see all stop times, the Dynamic Island on the newer iPhones prevents you from moving the tab back down so you can see the map/ navigate the rest of the app.
