Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

About OneBusAway
When's my bus coming? OneBusAway tells you, in real time, at every stop in your region: on your iPhone, iPad, Lock Screen, and Apple Watch.
It's free, it has no ads, and you don't need an account. A nonprofit builds it in partnership with your transit agency.

- Set an alarm that reminds you to head out before your bus arrives.
- Plan door-to-door trips across every agency in your region.
ON THE WAY
- Follow your ride from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities.
- Watch your bus, train, ferry, or streetcar move on the map.
