Related Questions and Answers:

1. **Q: Can iOS users use the route search feature to plan their trips? **

A: No. The app's route search feature is currently only available for Android users. iOS users who are unsure of which route to take cannot currently use the app directly and will need to use a schedule or other tool to plan their trip.

2. **Q: When using Alexa to query bus information, do I need to say a specific command first? What's the most direct way to do this? **

A: You need to wake Alexa and explicitly mention the "Bus Coruña" sign. The most direct way is to use a query like: "Alexa, ¿cuánto tarda en llegar el [route number] à la parada [stop number] en Bus Coruña?" (For example, to ask how long does it take for bus number 2 to arrive at stop 20). Before using this, make sure the Bus Coruña skill is enabled in Alexa.

3. **Q: Are real-time bus arrival times accurate? Will buses disappear? **

A: Real-time information may be distorted by objective factors. For example, arrival times may be inaccurate during traffic congestion, inclement weather, or unexpected accidents. In extreme cases, severely delayed buses may even disappear from the display. However, under normal, stable traffic conditions, this information should generally meet your bus waiting needs.

4. **Q: Can ads in the app be turned off? Will this affect core functionality? **

A: Currently, there is no information available regarding disabling ads. Because the app is unofficial and not publicly funded, advertising is its primary source of operating costs. Ads will display normally, but generally do not interfere with core functionality such as real-time querying, viewing schedules, and setting reminders.

5. **Q: Will bus arrival reminders be affected by your phone's network status? **

A: Yes, they will. Reminders rely on the network to receive real-time data push notifications. If your phone is disconnected (e.g., in an underpass or signal-dead zone) or has an unstable network, you may not receive notifications of approaching buses in a timely manner. We recommend maintaining a good network connection while waiting for your bus.
