App consistently resets settings making viewing the map an exercise in frustration. The service itself is also terrible: in the time it took for our bus to arrive (which is supposed to come by every 10 minutes) 3 competing services had 4 buses each drive by that stop. Even the afternoon tea bus drove by twice! When we finally got picked up, the bus drove past one stop and then said we weren't leaving for another 10 minutes! The buses' routes overlap but don't specify which route they're taking.

absolutely HORRIBLE customer service. customer service agent refused to resolve my issue for 29 minutes. then issued a correction for my problem at 7:29. the correction was issued for 7:30pm. the bus driver then drove off without me. had the customer service agent not spent more than 20 minutes claiming to be unable to do what they ultimately did I could have gotten on the bus. I'm deleting the app, initiating a charge back and never using the service again

Was not very helpful. Audio via headphones play mostly music instead of a guided tour and information. Bus stop numbers shown on the app are not reflected on bus stop signs. The bus ended abruptly at the farthest point from our hotel, so we had to pick up a cab. It is listed that it ends at 5:45pm, but it ended at 5:00pm. Would not use this again.
