Awful ‘upgrade’
Like many others, I find this upgrade has ruined the app. The ‘my location’ and lots of info both sacrificed for .... well, I don’t know what! Please revert! Rubbish!

Out of date
Out of date app with incorrect bus times.
Rely on the app and you will b waiting in the freezing cold for a bus that will not turn up when expected.
DO NOT RELY ON THIS APP IT US RUBBUSH!
2018-06-07
Worthless
Takes an age to to plan anything and just can’t seem to customise it to preferred routes so instead of picking the best route it’ll give one with umpteen bus, rail and walks. Thought it would be better than downloading timetables but unfortunately not
2018-04-10
Merseytravel
Timetables an be inaccurate,not sure if they are ever updated, but don’t appear to be as my local route has been wrong for around a year,not what you need for a timetable app!

Upgrade Disaster
This used to be an excellent app but the latest upgrade is a disaster. Instead of defaulting to My Location as it used to - you now have to select My Location from a list. Most inconvenient. Also much fewer departures are now shown. Please revert to the previous version.
2018-01-31
Version 4.2.6 is unusable!
Have loved using previous versions of this app but not anymore. This version is hopeless! Instead of just opening the app and it immediately finding your location and showing nearby departures, you know have to select ‘my location’ from a list before the app will do anything. When you’ve finally worked that out, you are then left with a yellow box covering half the screen, allowing only 3 departure times to be displayed at the bottom!!! I have never seen such a disaster of an ‘upgrade’! Please bring back version 3 and stop trying to be so clever: it’s not working!

Frustrating
Potentially a good app. Trouble is, I can't use it properly due to constant crashing. Please fix it.
2017-07-12

Use to be a pretty accurate decent app, now it just constantly crashes!!
2017-07-09

Glitchy
Keeps crashing when you open it. Can't use.
2017-03-30
Please fix this!
Rely so much on this app. Latest update has rendered it useless.
2017-03-20
Previously worked
Latest update has completely broken the app. Closes on open. Unusable.
2017-03-19
Bring back the older version
It worked much better
2017-03-16
Crashing
The app used to work perfectly now every time I open it it just keeps crashing. I find this very frustrating and inconvenient. Please fix
2017-03-15
Broken
Previous versions worked Ok. This one opens then immediately quits. Every time!
2017-02-28
Needs regular updates
The app says the bus I need comes at 8 after; the sign at the stop says 18 after and that's when the bus arrives so I have to add 10 minutes onto the departure time showing n the app which invalidates the times of any connections and negates the usefulness of this app. Plus the routes change but not on the app. Needs regular updates. Please!
2016-10-19
Rename 'How delayed will my bus be today'
All this app does is point out the fact that every single bus is late every day. I've waited for the 62 bus in bootle scheduled for 16:59 for over a month. Not once has it turned up. It always skips to the next bus. Why make a timetable if it's not going to be adhered to. ALL I WANT TO DO IS CATCH THE 16:59 BUS HOME SO I CAN GET HOME IN TIME FOR MY SPECIAL TIME!!
2016-08-22
Worst transportation app ever!
Took me on the wrong bus! Had no idea where I ended up, without the bus driver being so lovely and directing me to the right bus and what I would do to get there I would've been stranded!!
2016-08-14
Journey planner, not timetables
This does include all forms of transport and it works well. There are two options: trips (typical journey planner using start and finish points) and departures (where you enter a start point and a time and it gives you all nearby departures). What you don't seem to be able to do is access the timetables directly, e.g. search for a particular bus route. Merseytravel produce very clear PDF timetables with maps and in some circumstances it's that quick overview you want in order to plan a journey, without having to enter specific times and locations.

Sickest app
I was in tocky at like 10 bells waiting to serve a punny when a firm of bizzy just jumped out of a base Obvly I flapped it cos I had a quart of kenny & a 4 pips of heavy flake 1 to 1 and that ye get me . Anyways I started leggin it and then a cheese box just swooped up Obvly by this time I phoned r kid and told him to pick me up but he was doing George in Scotland so he couldn't get me to I ended up by aigbuth maccies & I rang a delta but I was black listed for oweing a score to them so I downloaded this Merseytravel app and it told me a bus was coming in 1 min so I got on and while I was on the bus I seen 2 undercover Hyundais going past so I just knew tonight I wasn't getting nicked but I was going to have a hazey bug head in rs thanks to this app
2015-11-01
Version Doesnt work
I use this every day, great app. But the new version doesn't work!! Can't view ANY journeys. Tried deleting and reinstalling. FIX IT!!
2015-10-26
Busses only!!!
No rail information, just bus timetables. So not very useful.
2015-05-06
BOSS APP
great app that is really helpful if there is no tilt able in the bus stop. Much more convenient too, would highly recommend people to download it.
2015-02-13
Great public transport app
What a great app. Really easy to use to plan a journey that also shows if the bus is running late.
The info looks really accurate as well!
You can also see train information but this only appears to be timetable info.
Great app especially compared to some others of a similar nature and I am sure it will improve with future developments.
2015-01-12
Not great
Only really a basic shell for the website. Only gives scheduled departures from your location and route plans. Need to go to site for full timetables scheduled disruptions and service changes
2014-10-18
Has problems with iOS 8
It doesn't respond well in iOS 8. Most of the time it refuses to recognise when you tap on the screen.
2014-10-15
Half an app
It would be better to finish building the app before launching it. Seriously, no trains?
2014-10-09
Awful
Doesn't show any information for trains even though I live 2 seconds from a train station. Tiny unmanageable maps. Not a shock that Merseytravel made an waste of space useless app
2014-09-30
Mmmm
Needs work.
2014-09-30
No train information
I live right next to a merseyrail station but the app gives me no information of when the next train is due as only provides bus information (even tho the app is advertised on these trains...?). Train information is necessary to me and naturally thought the info would be present on this 'merseytravel' app. Can this be fixed?
2014-09-03
Marvellous
What a great app! thank you for producing the app, has made using public transport in Liverpool so much easier. The app has never crashed for me and I use it every day (numerous times).
The three thing would make the app even better, in my opinion;
-A “via” section on the trip search- for example it may be better for me to use a certain bus route or train, rather than using the default one selected by the app (which likes to go via the city centre at times, as in theory that is the quickest route, apart from in rush hour)- can make planning a journey with connections trickier- as you have to split the journey manually through your own preferred route (due to frequency of the buses, or more reliable services).
- Saved searches for trips- i know it has favourites for locations- but not journeys, but that would save two steps.
- Integrate the map with apple maps, so it is more interactive and searches can be done on the map- rather than copying and pasting the street names into Apple maps.
Regardless this app is a Godsend.
Thanks you once again.

Brill Little App
Has lots of potential. You can use the map to navigate to the location that you want to leave from such as the train station near by.
2014-07-29
Mr
Only found buses. No trains etc.
2014-07-28
