I agree that the Transit app can be very useful, it’s a great concept and I try to use it when I can, but I do have a couple of issues with it.
a) when it comes to navigation I find it’s kind of confusing and I still need to use google maps to make sure I know which lines to get on. This wouldn’t be as much of a problem if I wasn’t new to the area and don’t know my way around, but it would be nice if it was easier to search a location accurately and I could just use the one app.
b) My phone is old and the battery life sucks so having the Transit app using my location the whole time I’m on the bus isn’t really practical - I like that it tells me how many stops are left and I want to be able to use it for that but then I basically have to turn my phone off until I get on the bus to go home because otherwise I won’t have enough battery to make it back. I know this is more of my problem because if I had a newer phone the battery wouldn’t drain as fast but it makes using the app pretty inconvenient for me.

No, I had a new phone and the battery still drained when I used it. It’s a lot to ask of your phone while you’re literally not “using” it.
I always carry a fully charged battery pack with me just for this reason.
