Belfast Bus Tracker 4+

Positives

When you have your stop to work, stop to home and favourites setup the app works great. 90% of the time the app displays where the bus is on its route and lets you plan when to leave. The other times I am guessing the GPS isn’t on on the bus.

Searching by route works well when setting up your favourite stops.

Negatives

Not the freshest UI but it works

It can be hard to find the stop you are looking for due to numerous stops with similar names. Particularly in the nearest stop feature. It would be great if it showed you which direction the bus was heading from each stop and not just in the route search.

Conclusion

Much better than the local service provider for providing real time updates on buses around Belfast.

The layout is a bit old school, and saving your favourite bus stops can be a hassle as loads of them have similar names. It's handy when the busses are running early or late, you can check the map to see where they actually are. I suspect not all buses have their tracking devices turned on though. A few times it has crashed on me or taken ages to load

ETA has stopped working since I updated to iOS 14

Useful app that shows you where your bus in Belfast actually is. Needs some improvement — the stop info for some Glider feeder services which run in a loop is inaccurate (the time for the beginning and end of the route is the same) and some East Belfast stops have been placed in the Chester/Merseyside area!
