Look for one and the same connection and one minute later you will get a different option making you walk in the other direction to different stops/stations. If you don't double check the connections manually you will often spend more than double the time on your trip. Doesn't automatically show any bus options but the next connection. Much(!) room for improvement, especially when location is turned off. Just about acceptable for train/underground but for bus abysmal.

On the whole a good app. A few improvements would make it a great app particularly to help people from outside London. 1 - Show the zones on the map. It will save having to download a separate map. 2 - make it easier to plan journeys by allowing you to easily put in from location and different travel times rather than 'go now'. 3 - allow a longer time before the app auto refunds oyster credit or make it so you dont have to tap a reader to apply it to card. It allows for ahead planning.

Hi Richard, thank you for your feedback and ideas for improvement. Regarding point 2, you can do this currently in TfL Go; tap the 'Current location' button in blue to change the from location when searching for a journey; tap on 'Leaving now' to adjust the time of departure or arrival.

Writing this after the app led me to believe that I could catch the last bus of the evening, but no bus arrives and the app just acts as if it never existed (clearly some sort of hallucination). this is on top of the fact that it has extremely limited functionality compared to other maps apps. No London map, no bus map, can't look at bus arrival times at specific stops unless you turn on location (and still only shows you nearby stops). Extremely disappointed and uninstalling now.

Hi Emmanuel, we've just released an update to the Bus area - now you can move the map to view arrivals for stops anywhere in London, even if location is turned off. We've got a few other things planned for this area, including the ability to save your regular stops - coming soon.
What’s new
This update includes a whole new look for Bus information, aiming to make it easier for you to find the bus information you need, including:
* Move the map to find bus stops anywhere in London, just tap to see live arrivals
Also, now that Payments has been around for a while, we've removed the 'NEW' labels, and stopped animating the main buttons so they don't move when you least expect it.
