The app is good on the Nexus 4, but the text is way too small on the Nexus 7 and 10. It would be better with a Holo UI that can resize for tablets and have landscape mode. At the very least I hope we can have an action bar for easier navigation

I'd give this app 5 star if only it remembers the bus number that I entered before into a favorite list. This way I don't have to reenter the same bus number every time. For example 970x is not exactly easy to type while sitting in a moving bus.
