Latest reviews of 城巴 Citybus app for iPhone and iPad
This App does not start on my iPod touch, screen remains black.
Map cant be opened. Too bad app!
Once updated, cant even open the app.
Very usefull with comprehensive info. Takes a bit of learning but very good. Feedback to the software developer: The bookmark edit/delete function doesnt seem to work Would be good if there was a Help section or legend to the icons Would be fantastic if we could see when the next bus was actually coming (ie live info) Would be good to have a feedback button in case any issues with the bus the passenger wishes to report Thanks, and well done.
Need more help on what the icons mean and how to navigate. Bus route search should allow point of interest search, such as the estate name or a shopping center name.
