Latest reviews of TransitLink How2Go app for iPhone and iPad
This application shows the route using public bus. Very useful for strangers of Singapore!
When I downloaded this app, there were no reviews at all, not even for past versions. Currently, I am using iPhone 6plus on iOS 8.1 with this app and it crashed after a few minutes of using. In terms of functionality, another app that we use locally (map app) does pretty much the same job but slightly better. At least I tried. Maybe some of you may find this app useful for you.
