In short
Ridekick is a free Android app from Valley Metro. It is a great way to navigate around town.
Highlights
Incorporated yet independent from Trip Planning
Yupp GOOGLE MAPS TRY IT
Would like to see integration of NextRide and Google
Easy to navigate around town
Valley Metro location is as reliable as their schedule
I can travel on unfamiliar routes with a decent level of confidence
This is the best way to find out your next ride fast and easy
No where to enter destination or departure locations
This is the worst app for finding a bus
The GPS location feature of tracking buses is a joke
About useless since it doesn't tell you when the NEXT bus is due
Arrival times are way off
Don't give all the arrival times as the older version
But I am going to uninstall as this is currently redundant
I dont know who designed the layered interface but its awful
App crashes and often will not show the correct route
Too many notifications poping up
