I do recall a while back - I don't know if it is still the case - that the First Manchester app had other operator times on the stop information screen. Whilst it did have just the First times highlighted and being tracked I do know that it was used in areas of Manchester where First services weren't accessible / infrequent.

Maybe if operators do this, it would give incentive for more people to download them instead of relying on 3rd party applications. Hopefully once TfGM have resolved thier issues with timetabling / service updates on their website, they can look into bringing back their app as that was more useful. If the stops included both the timetabled and tracked times it would add additional clarity (as then passengers will know what time to get their instead of finding a late bus has made up the time).
