It's just not as user friendly as it should be. Feels clunky to use, and not as smooth as the older version. Screens seem to be used to take up branding or obvious information, rather than providing details on the job you're trying to do, such as quickly buying a ticket. Overall - just very poor UI, as if been designed by people that don't use buses.

It would be really nice if you made the application show the QR code of a ticket straight away after running the app. Now you have to press several buttons before you can show the ticket to the driver, sometimes it rains and tehere is no shelter and you cannot do it outside the bus, before the bus comes, sometimes you run to catch the bus, and it's not so easy to run the app when you get into a bus

Extremely sluggish app constantly popping information in and out. Slow and difficult to navigate, with annoying UI elements you can't remove. Also, times are not adjusted to reflect reality. Busses can range from 30+ minutes late or early and the app does not reflect this. Thankfully, it does show you the physical location of the busses on the map, so you can guestimate their actual arrival times.
