Pros and cons of Montreal Metro & Bus Transit app for iPhone and iPad
Montreal Metro & Bus Transit app good for
The app is not overloaded with features, but is super fast and responsive and is the only one that gives you metro and busses in your surrounding - and updates if you move around in real time.
Second cool feature - works in the metro do to offline capability.
Waiting for some more features like Bixi integration, but it definitely the one app i am going to use daily.
Best app ever for metro and bus schedule so far. Cool design, simple to use.
Before I knew this app, I used some other ones. But this is the best of all.
Very well done piece of work. Thank you for making my life and many others easier by this app. Keep it up!
Wow, this is an awesome app, very clean, essential in Montreal! Thanks RFx for this great app!
Useful, fast, location based information about buses and metros in Montreal!
And the best: its free! Definitely recommended!
Very good UI and easy to use, summarizes the info you need. It would be nice to have Bixi integration as well.
Some bad moments
Where to start? If you click “search” in the app and type in P L A C, it returns the top hit as “Place-des-Arts”, wonderful, this is near my hotel and when I click on the link the message returned is “Not found: Your search did not return any results”…
Not enough? Okay, Clicking on the “trips” tab opens up a surface map of Montreal that not only does not show the Metro lines, but does not even show the locations of the stations.
I had hoped to use this as an off-line solution to the Montreal STM, but it apparently has zero functionality w/out a network, unlike 100% of the other metro system apps I’ve used. I really don’t know what the developers were thinking. Do yourself a favor and use Google Maps.
The concept is terrific, the constant crashing is driving me to delete this app very soon!
Worked once since install, every other attempt has resulted in hang up!
The bus numbers 110 and 195 have been changed to 495 and 496
This is not properly reported
I am extremely disappointed in Apple. I really depended on Google maps to get me to places from Laval to Montreal and vice versa. Its bad enough that there are no service for Canadian maps in the map app for IOS 6, but then suggesting that people use this app which is almost useless for people living off island who are trying to get to school and work in Montreal. (Ex, no indication of STL buses going into Montreal ). Two useless navigation apps for me.
They use a map of the Montreal metro to trick us in thinking that its an app by STM. They say its free but as soon as you want direction you need to pay. And the app does not work well. Dont waste your 2.99 dollar on this.
The only app Apples new maps tries to give direction within the Montreal transit system. This app always prompts to buy other apps without any results. Can even write a review to their built in "review feature".
Went back to Googles web based Maps.
