  1. [R1] Momego 1/5 · US Antes siempre estaba buena sin fallo: Ahora ya no marca los viaje 🥺😔😔😔
  2. [R6] Momego 3/5 · US Times…: The app would be Better if the times were 100% accurate like actually having trackers on each bus. Also let people know when buses are cancelled ahead of time
  3. [R14] Momego 5/5 · US Great!!!!: Great estimates of when the bus is coming!!!!! Much appreciated.
  4. [R17] Momego 5/5 · US Works great for NJ/NYC Commute: This has been great for my commute. All times on the subway and NJ transit bus are accurate. I also like the notification if my subway line is having issues during commuting hours. Really helpful app.
  5. [R12] Momego 3/5 · US Why do I have to try so hard to use this??: Not easy to put in two destinations and figure out the time in the future. Could be more user friendly. But improvements have been made since I was using it 2 years ago.
  6. [R15] Momego 3/5 · US App: The app could be better. It need work on its accuracy, speed & it needs to be more user friendly.
  7. [R23] Momego 5/5 · US Awesome: Quick, True-Time, User-Friendly, Bravo!!
  8. [R42] Momego 3/5 · US Review: Difficult to use
  9. [R2] Momego 5/5 · US Best app for far travel via public transit: Other ones like Transit and Citymapper are tied to your county or city. While momego allows you to travel across the globe or USA. I like this app. I’ve had it since 2021 and I plan to keep using it.
  10. [R3] Momego 3/5 · US No local Transit: This would be a perfect app if they included local/city transits instead of just regional in local market In DC Metro Area
  11. [R4] Momego 1/5 · US Fix your app on Apple Watch: I had to stop using app cause it’s been wonky on my Apple Watch. It keeps glitching , doesn’t show your stops, keeps freezing. The transit app doesn’t have this problem - so why is Momego have this problem- I paid for a lifetime membership of 89.00 and this is ridiculous and embarrassing for Momego to have this issue. I’m going to transit app until Momego update and fi
  12. [R8] Momego 5/5 · US Reliable and feature-rich: Pro version does all I need for complex rides across multiple transit systems. I appreciate that schedules for remote towns with limited service are kept accurate and timely, and that alternatives are offered for busy metros. I recommend it often! However, would you improve the ability to send a link? I found Settings > Share but it sent an iPhone link, which doesn’
  13. [R5] Momego 4/5 · US Great for planning, but MASSIVE battery drainer: As someone who’s just now started riding the public buses, this app has been really helpful. However, it is a massive battery drainer, even with some of the background location and refresh turned off.
  14. [R11] Momego 5/5 · US Promising, but some broken features: I’m generally happy with Momego, but some of the (less crucial) trip tracking features don’t work. The arrival times that are displayed on the home screen and the Apple Watch often freeze, so you can’t trust that the ETA is counting down properly. The arrival times in the app are reliable, but the app’s Live Tracking feature often shows bizarre information - I
  15. [R7] Momego 1/5 · US stupid ads that pop up constantly: what the title says
  16. [R13] Momego 1/5 · US Ads are unbearable.: I've been using this app for several years. almost 10 years. and it's been so helpful to me, until today. For some reason i am bombarded with ads. it's absolutely ridiculous. I'll have to just delete the app and find another one that works as well.
  17. [R16] Momego 1/5 · US Annoyingly begs for notification permission: If I don’t want your app to send notifications I don’t want your app to send notifications! Stop pestering people to allow them! Got free lifetime, but this is irritating enough to instantly uninstall.
  18. [R63] Moovit 3/5 · US Great until it’s not: The app worked great at first for paying for busses until it blocked my account for no particular reason. No one answers the support phone number so there appears to be no way to fix it.
  19. [R75] Moovit 3/5 · US Good but needs customer service: I have Premium Moovit, and it’s so much better than other options. But the AI is incredibly bad, and I can find no help desk. Right now, the app is telling me to start my trip by driving several miles to a station, instead of just walking 0.5 miles to a station. (!)
  20. [R85] Moovit 1/5 · US Ticket disappeared: I inputted my email and phone number and the ticket was never sent to either and it took my money. Terrible customer service I called and they drag you on with robots for 5 mins until eventually ending the call and saying you can find everything on their website.
  21. [R28] Momego 1/5 · US Could they not slap an AirTag on the trains?: This is the most unreliable app I have ever used. The times fluctuate seemingly at random from one minute to the next. Many times I’m given a time of zero minutes to arrival, only to stand another 15 minutes at Stark and Grand with no train anywhere in sight. Just now, it said arrival in 2 minutes, then changed to 14. I would get more accurate times i
  22. [R70] Moovit 1/5 · US Unreliable and full of ads: Not only is this app wrong with ETAs constantly, but it’s impossible to navigate because of the incessant advertisements.
  23. [R76] Moovit 1/5 · US Horrible App: The app is useful if you could quit having continuous apps popping up w/o having to upgrade for a fee, that don't even let you put in your information properly, because the ads keep blocking you. It doesn't always give you a chance to put a certain date and time each time you want to find out what the schedule for the next day or two would be.
  24. [R78] Moovit 3/5 · US Too busy; key info missing: I got a very high recommendation for this app from a fellow commuter. Plus it had ‘real time’ information on the conveyance I going to use. But unfortunately I find the app lacking or actually too bloated in many ways. First there are too many boisterous ads. I purchased the so-called ad free option but it never seemed to take I am still getting ads that are very annoy
  25. [R82] Moovit 2/5 · US The ads: I get the free version needs ads, but why so damn many? It’s every other thing I do there’s an ad. Are you all really that low on funds that we have to see ads every time we do anything in this app? I’ve nearly missed crucial information waiting on the ads to finish if they don’t freeze the app and forces me to exit and hope I’m at the right bus stop. Man I hate how corporate decisions ki
  26. [R48] Momego 3/5 · US Still no watch support?: Hard to believe you spent the time, money, and resources to rebuild this app, but still don't have some form of watch integration.
  27. [R97] Moovit 1/5 · US Stay Away - Sneaky Thieving App: I downloaded Moovit while I was in Türkiye and never agreed to a Moovit+ account. Now I’m being charged monthly and apparently have been doing so for the last several months. Garbage business model, stealing from people.
  28. [R100] Moovit 1/5 · US Charge for app: Ridiculous that. Had to pay $11.99 for this app that I only used to give me information not a ride. Don’t use it.
  29. [R110] Moovit 1/5 · US Data stealer: I installed this app and it immediately asked for credit card info while saying that the Moovit app is free. I got charged for two different services I never wanted.
