Eleven send us timetables directly and the rest are compiled from published schedules and user corrections. The release notes list every route added, with its source.
Before you install it
Does it work without signal?
Yes, entirely. The whole timetable is thirty-eight megabytes on the phone. Only live running updates on the paid tier need a connection, and everything else works without one.
What data do you collect?
Almost none. Location is used on the device and never transmitted. There is no analytics SDK and no advertising identifier. The only thing that ever leaves the phone is a fare correction you have deliberately sent.
Is the free tier a trial?
No, it is permanent. Routes, timetables, fares, stop photographs and walking directions are free for ever. The paid tier adds live updates and journey history.
How accurate are the fares?
Each fare shows the date it was last confirmed. Anything over sixty days old is flagged in the app as unverified rather than presented as fact.
Do I need an account?
Not for the free tier. For Rooky Plus it is an email address and nothing else — no name, no telephone number, no social login.
You do not need to make an account to use it
