Pros and cons of bus@sg app for iPhone and iPad

bus@sg app good for

I think this is one of best. If we can search the bus of SMRT, its much better.
I have been using transguide for months. This app beats that hands down. You get arival times for current and next nuse for buses at a station. That allows me to plan my time. It would be nice if MRT arrival time can be incorporsted as well. Well done. People who value their time should invest US$0.99 in it. ==edit=== A suggestion: for bustop that has no SMRT info, extrapolate from LTA data for stop nearest to it that has the information. Another suggestion: Allow sorting of favourites.
Its got some bugs, though I cant tell whether my phone or the widget has sucky positioning. But generally its about as good as things can get for Singapore. Pls note that my review is for something built in and for Singapore and does not compare it to apps built by/for other cities.
Very convenient favorite tab that keep track of your most used stops.
I wrote to the developer for a little suggestion... And it show up on this new update within weeks! Love it!!! Its my favourite Next Bus app for a long long time!
I found this to be my daily buddy when I am at the bus stop. Highly recommended.

Some bad moments

The app provides general info about the bus route and schedule. However it lacks two major pieces of info: 1) doesnt show the bus route in map view; 2) doesnt show when the next bus will arrive.
