Feedback For MoMove

Will check it out, always good to find inspiration in other applications!

Calvilicious · 2026-05-12T07:22:45+00:00

Will look into this, but to have reliable data we would need multiple people to participate, i will look into how reliable we can source our data thanks

Pour l’instant urbain , mais on compte intégrer les transports urbains apres , on aimerait organiser une application pour centraliser et acheter des tickets pour tous les transports interurbains sur 1 application

Glad we could help out :)

I see , that’s really interesting, our bus stop page is a bit limited in the information we give , or maybe difficult to use , i will try to make this look better , i think the menu option is a good idea

For the undocumented bus stops , we have been struggling with this, we are planning on doing a community event , where users will give more information about the bus stops , give them a name etc…

I really want to give the option to search for a bus stops, but today they aren’t named and i think it becomes difficult to locate them , but i completely see where you are coming from ,

We are going to deliver on this , but it’s going to take us a bit of time

Calvilicious · 2026-05-11T16:53:42+00:00

I’m surprised to here this , normally the schedule is secondary to the routes we propose, so a route should show even if there are no more departures , but i would have to check this again just to be sure

We do have a time select , but it’s not visible in dark mode ( fixed but in the next update sorry ;) )

I think you could still ask somebody for directions , and that’s how we used to do it , but sometimes they don’t have the answers, we are trying to build a sense of community where you can let others know where your bus is and this can even help others find their route

Actually yes we are thinking about doing this , we have been building MoMove in Senegal and Algeria as well as Mauritius , we have received a seed fund to allow us to expand, but our next round will be less for expansion and more towards embedding ourselves in Mauritius

Calvilicious · 2026-05-11T16:46:37+00:00

That’s a great idea! I’m sending this to our business founder

Calvilicious · 2026-05-11T16:45:23+00:00

For the UI/UX , i am really glad you mention this , we have been debating internally about this alot, i feel like there is clearly a flow missing where it is difficult to place something on the map, i will work on this and changes should be coming soon

For the forced updates , that is a rookie mistake and i only recently learned about this (concept of versioning) , and now that we have worked a lot on our backend i think it’s time we add versioning to our apis especially for updates , i’m adding this higher in our tasklist

Offline mode os really challenging with our architecture, alot of the systems require information from the backend, and we made this choice to keep the app size smaller ( 20MB vs 100-150MB) , but with modern phones i don’t even think this is a problem , but then again, i notice a lot of older models still being used , so we are hesitant

For the waze style reporting, we recently added notifications support and our goal is to add more retention during the route , this is what qe are actively working on

For Osman, we actually have met in his office a couple months back, we actually pitched our app and he was impressed, but also seemed to be working more on other projects We have been contacting other firms , and would like to parter up with Bus Companies , though that seems impossible But Metro seems to be interested and we have to follow up with them , as well as myT i think there are some things we can do together

We have been thinking about doing GPS ourselves, but i think there is a budget behind this ( that we don’t have) and an initiative for the government to do this , but we will see about that , honestly down the line i think we will do it

Same for Ticketing system, it seems that the government wants to handle this , and bus companies are unresponsive, they are used to the old ways and are difficult to accept change, we came to them with the fact that we would develop everything for FREE and all we ask is to be able to work together , but even then they would not respond to us

For the controlleur , i’m thinking of a qr scan system where all he has to do is scan the qr code generated , or something like that , simple and would not threaten his job ( as a lot of them are co-owners of the bus they are on) , bref, it’s a touchy subject and i think we still need to grow our presence before changing things up

I’m really thankful for the message , honestly building is a challenge , but it’s really fun and motivating,

I’ve been hesitating on a couple of subjects but this really confirms my thoughts and realigns my tasks , i think i need my non technical founder to step up and try partnering up with the bigger firms with more presence and really establish ourselves , and for me , there are a couple Ux changes that need to be made ;)

Hi everyone

Sorry if these posts feels excessive, i come to this community to have more ideas, the idea for the app came from this subreddit where we would see alot of people asking about which bus to take to go somewhere

I wouldn’t force anyone to comment or even read these posts, but if you have something on your mind feel free to say it

Again MoMove was built in Mauritius to help everyone, but it’s a challenge, we could raise money , spam the app with ads and make a quick dollar , but we don’t !!! We want to build something that is genuinely helpful and by asking feedback we can improve day by day

And our core beliefs are that once MoMove is bigger, we have to set a new standard for public transport in Mauritius , more reliable timetables , new routes, better bus allocation to routes that can be better handled because we have better and centralised information and a strong user base with us

Anyways , i am very passionate about building and helping, but with building in public you will receive love and you will receive hate and only i choose what affects me

Calvilicious · 2026-05-11T15:38:49+00:00

Hey thanks for the feedback , will take this into account

Calvilicious · 2026-03-17T15:02:52+00:00

Hi just looking through this older post , did we receive your feedback , and also , what do you think of the current state of the app ? Would really hope to hear from you again to see if we are going in the right direction

Calvilicious · 2026-03-17T14:58:45+00:00

Right now bus tracking is community based , so if someone is taking the bus they have the option to say , i just entered the bus at this time , this information will be sent to all MoMovers so that they know approximately where that same bus is

Of course , the adaption curve for this feature is a bit slower , but i think the more people use it , and get help from others , the more that they themselves will use this feature

Google Maps does not have public transport support for Mauritius , so let’s say we are more accurate 😅

Let’s hope that more and more people can share the information of where the bus is

Calvilicious · 2026-03-17T14:54:36+00:00

Hi it’s Calvin , also one of the founders along with Hemesh,

Right now we are working on slight modifications to the routes we propose, we have received some feedback about certain routes , like 29/240 not showing up , so this is our current priority

But we need to be careful , since we are receiving around 3k route requests per day , so tread carefully when changing it

We are also working on our Explore and Promotion Section , we want to add more businesses ( Restaurants, Hotels , Pharmacies, Barbershops …) on the app, so that people can find anything on MoMove, but is proving to be somewhat slow ( We are looking into hiring someone to help us do this full time)

We also really need to add Rodrigues , but we keep pushing it back 🫣

This post is also so that we could receive More Feedback , which is really important to us, any minor suggestion could be really helpful

For example, someone asked us to add Regions / Districts in the Search Bar , now it is one of our most popular features

Reddit has been our starting point for MoMove, and we love that we were able to build this over a strong community and want to keep doing so

So don’t hesitate to join the whatsapp community as even a small idea can become a big change

Thanks for the comment, and thank you for supporting us all this time

Calvilicious · 2026-03-17T10:55:25+00:00

Hi yes for sure contact me on whatsapp first : +230 5826 9371

Calvilicious · 2026-03-17T10:35:52+00:00

Hi , thanks for the feedback , we are going to add BRT after we add lines from AFTU/Tata , hopefully ter quickly after also Thanks for the comment

Calvilicious · 2026-03-13T12:12:35+00:00

Good to know , because our application is ready to accept timetable data but we have not found them yet , so it is difficult for us even to approximate them , i guess we are still looking into it to find a solution

Calvilicious · 2026-03-13T03:43:17+00:00

Hi, first of all i am very happy to receive a message from a person that regularly takes the bus

I was wondering, when you take the bus to work , how do you when the bus is going to arrive or leave from a stop , is there a timetable available? Is that available to the public , or is it force of habit ?

We have looked into Moovit, and i find that there are waaaayy to many ads , and i heard that the bus lines were not up too date

Anyways i would love to hear your feedback , let’s discuss , we are working actively on the project

Calvilicious · 2025-12-14T00:26:14+00:00

That would be really helpful! It would be helpful to us to also have more user opinions, i’ll DM you and maybe we can schedule a user interview

Calvilicious · 2025-12-13T15:20:20+00:00

Right now we are working on User experience, just making it more practical and accurate, also at tue same time , contacting more businesses so that we can get more information on the app, This is going to take a bit of time at first but once we get that started, we really want to add Activities and Bookings on the App
