LOCATION SERVICES
As with all good location-based apps, Bus Guru works with your phone’s location services (3G/GPS/GPRS/WiFi) and searches for up to 10 seconds to locate you as accurately as possible when you open the app so please make sure your setting for location services are on.
TFL LIVE COUNTDOWN DATA
If the app ever says ‘No Data Available’ it is either due to TFL’s data being temporarily unavailable or your location is outside the TFL Live Countdown zone.
HELP
If you do experience any problems then please do contact the Bus Guru Support Team [email protected] (before rashly leaving a bad review) as we can most likely swiftly solve it for you. Feedback is always read and considered.

Latest reviews of Bus Guru London Live Bus Countdown app for iPhone and iPad
Would be great if it worked properly, and as it stands is worth downloading but has lots of rough edges. Faults range from fairly minor- does not resize properly when pad is sideways to pretty major. Major faults include inability to find major landmarks when searching and the fact that the display seems to continually update making you pause every few seconds. Would give it two and a half stars if I could as the maps are nice.
The journey planner simply doesnt work. Did anyone QA this at all?
But since the software update by apple it is not working. Not sure if its going to be fixed but I miss it working.
Every time I tried to use it - before I deleted it - it would not connect.
You deleted all my favourites, and its hard to tell which bus directions Im adding now when many buses stop at several nearby spots.
