App WAS very useful & accurate in the beginning. It was a great tool to use especially on rainy days and would’ve been helpful on cold days such as road. But the past month or so it either does not notify at all (most often), notifies miles away from specific radius, notifies both push and […]

Update: 2 years later and there’s no change! It’s just an app taking up space. When the app is working, it’s good. When the bus is linked to be tracked, it’s pretty cool because I know when to leave the house with the kids rather than standing on the side of the road, unknowing of […]
As all parents of bus riders know, bus arrival times can be pretty variable. This app is great for time management – we no longer rush and worry about missing the bus nor spend a long time waiting and wondering when there’s a delay. One warning though – don’t rely on the push notification to […]
Love the app, but for some reason my wife and I can’t login after 3-25-2019. It’s like the new update cleared our data. We try to enter our kid’s last name and school ID, but it’s like she doesn’t exist. Weird because we still get an email saying the bus is in radius, but we […]
After using this app for more than a year, it seems that not much has changed regarding its reliability, as crucial as it is. Three weeks into the school year, the GPS is not updating. You have to switch children, or exit and return to the app to see movement. Today, the bus came and […]
Great concept, poor execution. I love the idea of this app, and it’s great that one morning of the week it actually updates the location of my sons bus, but most every day the app will just stop updating. I log out and back in, no change. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no change. Also, the […]
Update: A new school year and the app has gotten worse. I would call dispatch wondering where the bus is and they would give location then indicate that the app hasn’t update in over 15min to reflect current location. This new update does not work. The map loads but it doesn’t show the bus location. […]
Totally unreliable. App does not show where this bus is like it was meant to. Icons do not change as bus reaches school or bus stop. Maybe developers weren’t prepared for shortage of bus drivers. I’m sure the constant change of busses and combing multiple routes for one bus has something to do with it. […]
Doesn’t work well. Bus only shows up on map sometimes. Now after yet another update it keeps saying “no map data found” for my student. It removed the radius that was used all last year and won’t let me make a new one. Now I get multiple notifications that the bus has entered my area […]
This app would great if it worked. Only locates 1 of the 3 buses my kids are on. Have ALL my notifications on with the correct student ID’s but still doeant work.when notifying the ‘help desk’,you just receive the same song and dance. It may work for others it may not, you take the chance […]
When the app is working, it’s a really great tool to have. However, it frequently has glitches or simply fails to work at all (mostly the latter). In fact, the app hasn’t worked once for me this week. I’ve tried logging out of the app and back in, I’ve restarted my phone, and now I […]
TRASH. Even after reinstalling, this app does not work. Period. The email notification is probably the most reliable way to see when the bus is within the radius of the bus stop. Push notifications are so infrequent that the feature may as well be non-existent. The map to track the bus? Nope, always shows the […]
Doesn’t work, It was working the 1st week or so when school started, I would get BOTH notifications and emails, now for the the past week and a half I no longer get the notifications, just an email. I checked app settings, it is turned on, I checked each tab on the app and all […]
Last year, this app was fantastic. I got notices promptly when I should have, after fiddling with the range settings. This school year, it’s worked three times. It won’t stay logged in, it keeps dropping my phone as a device (even though it was listed a dozen times), and logging and resetting everything only works […]
**Edit….Bus not visible pops up again today. Please resolve. When the app is working, it’s great, however lately it’s had issues. I receive a notification that the bus is in radius, but the app pops up a message that the bus is not visible at this time. It doesn’t show up at all. I receive […]
Last year, this app was a game changer for us, reliably sending notifications when the bus was in the set radius. I was especially excited about the new scan notification feature this year! Unfortunately, it stopped working after the first couple of weeks, which was really frustrating. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the app, […]
I rarely ever get notifications from this app and when/if I do, the notice is way TOO early or my children are already off the bus and home! It could be that the driver forgets to log info or doesn’t know how. I’m not sure. I do know, until I got an email requesting my […]
When it works, it’s great, the rest of the time, it’s glitchy and slow to update the correct bus when they need to change it, which is daily for us. Transportation says the problem is with the app, not with their updating the bus on their end. Sigh. Still unreliable often and customer service doesn’t […]
It would be nice if the app actually showed a round about time the bus would come, have more available features to adjust such settings. nothing has changed no matter whether you even set your proximity alert, you get 0 notification until you’re lucky the bus actually honks and waits, then you only get an […]
Nearly useless. It only works about a third of the time and I’m positive it’s the app because there’s been plenty of times my wife’s would work but not mine, or vice versa. Then when it’s supposed to send me a notification and email when the bus is a mile away, it usually sends neither, […]
