This major update yields a positive net impact, driven by an Android rating increase of 0.46 stars from a 2.9 baseline to 3.36. While journey planning features stabilize overall momentum, the update lacks post-update iOS data and suffers from a small Android sample size of 11 reviews. Users report improved map and timetable utility compared to the website, though discrepancies in bus arrival times persist.
