Either way, 100% useless and cannot under any circumstances be relied on, let alone even used as a rough guideline. The ONLY way to use transit in this city is to show up 10-15 minutes early and hope. It can easily be that far off schedule, in either direction, on an ideal day. The value of this app would be to stay at home until the bus is 5min out or whatever, so you can walk to the stop, but unfortunately it would be totally useless for that. They say it's "real time" but there is no way that is true. It must still just run off of extremely rough estimates, maybe based on the bus's location pinged every 10 mins or something. I used it for a few months and it was late for work every day that I didn't just go out super early and wait.
