  1. [R5] GoPass 5/5 · US Quick and easy: Load a card to pay with, and this is easy peezy. But the trains need to show up on time. And customer service and safety is priority! Keep the DART at Dallas College North Lake & Irving/Las Colinas stops. Keep it safe. And thank you.
  2. [R8] GoPass 5/5 · US Nice and easy: This app is very fast, helpful when you need a month pass and very easy to use.
  3. [R11] GoPass 5/5 · US Pass: I love this app it is very convenient
  4. [R47] GoPass 5/5 · US Easy to use!: Love the app, easy to use and you no longer have to stop at the ticket machine. Easy peasy!
  5. [R20] GoPass 5/5 · US Review: Super handy and user friendly!
  6. [R26] GoPass 5/5 · US Single Rider: It is very helpful and easy to use
  7. [R1] GoPass 2/5 · US Not reliable: told me the incorrect stop twice in a row. i even tried to wave down the driver but they did not care
  8. [R7] GoPass 1/5 · US Ride share pickup/ drop off time terrible: Ride share is terrible! You never know how many stops/riders there are before your ride. Had to pick up 2 other riders for 20 min before I could get to my 7 min travel time destination
  9. [R13] GoPass 1/5 · US Unreliable: its works to a point but even with uber and lyft agreements turned on its unreliable you don’t know when your gonna get anywhere you could get a ride and be waiting anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 hr 30 don’t count on this app if you need to be anywhere important more than likely you’ll be late
  10. [R18] GoPass 3/5 · US Almost missed my stop: App is easy to use and generally works well. I turned on notifications because the trip mode told me to and assumed it would tell me when to get off to change trains It did not tell me me when to get off to change trains
  11. [R4] GoPass 2/5 · US Apple Pay: This app does not work well with Apple Pay. Tried multiple times and wouldn’t accept the payment until I input my card information in manually.
  12. [R9] GoPass 3/5 · US Payment Method/Apple Pay Problem: I am no longer able to use Apple Pay or delete payment methods, very inconvenient. I can use the same card that the Apple Pay option doesn’t allow me to if I manually input it through the add a card option.
  13. [R72] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US Not quite there: I recently went on vacation and used it as an opportunity to test out more features. I knew we’d have no service in some areas so I downloaded the maps of 3 different states we’d be passing through. Idk if its a compatibility issue or what but when my phone was connected to the car through apple airplay, the image of the map/route would glitch. The map would frequently zoom in w
  14. [R77] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 4/5 · US Beautiful, Functional: I have been using this app for several months and am loving the clean design and many of the features. Though, the CarPlay implementation seems to be a bit buggy especially during navigation when WeGo is minimized. Additionally, the app will white screen when opening it for the first time. I would love to see more features and customization options added, both functional fea
  15. [R84] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US CarPlay features lacking: I like that it is not apple or google but I need dashboard view in CarPlay in order for it to be my daily driver
  16. [R87] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US CarPlay issues: The app is very Spartan when it comes to CarPlay. There is no button to select a different type of view when not actively going to a destination. It just gives you a top down view, which wouldn’t be bad in a way only if the map would follow your driving direction which it doesn’t. A report button or option to report inaccurate information would be great. Some information on the map
  17. [R69] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US Not bad: I’ve been using this app for about a month. Very appreciative of the fact that it collects less personal data than some of the other GPS apps. It does an okay job at choosing routes. Offline mode is a nice feature. I just wish that when using this through CarPlay there was the option to ask for directions via voice command.
  18. [R81] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US Offline use: Does anybody know why off-line maps download so much faster on an iPhone than on an android phone and an android tablet?
  19. [R85] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 1/5 · US Map downloads do not work: Can't download map, just gives an error message saying "download stopped try again". I tapped the retry download option and it still didn't work. Same message every time.
  20. [R28] GoPass 2/5 · US The app is a hit and miss: I really depend on the app to make it to work on time and sometimes it’s good but when the bus doesn’t have a tracker, it can be misleading, especially for the #22 bus route. Sometimes they come early and they see you running but keep going. Really need a tracker on all Busses especially when the weather isn’t perfect.
  21. [R90] HERE WeGo Maps & Navigation 3/5 · US Love it, but it needs better CarPlay support.: It’s a great and smooth app! It allows offline downloads of maps, and has pretty good traffic rerouting (all those luxury European cars that use this for native mapping give good data). CarPlay support is lacking. It always makes me restart the application before I can use it. You also can’t have the map and music controls at the same time. A real bu
