Description
Been using Stopfinder for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you track your kid’s school bus and get alerts when they’re picked up or dropped off. Pretty solid app if you’ve got little ones riding the bus.
Here’s what you do: you can set up alert zones around the bus stops and schools, and Stopfinder will send you a notification when the bus arrives or leaves those areas. And there’s also these forms you can fill out in the app, which is pretty convenient. And you can see the estimated time of arrival for the bus – took me a while to figure that one out but it’s useful.
Look, if you’re a parent of a student who rides the bus, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the UI could be a bit more user-friendly – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you wanna keep tabs on your kid’s bus schedule.
Editor Opinion
So here's my honest take on Stopfinder. I've tested a bunch of these school transportation apps and this one's pretty solid overall. The bus tracking and alert features work really well, and I like that you can also handle forms and stuff right in the app. It's free to use too, which is a plus. The only downsides I've found are that the interface is a little clunky at times, and the estimated arrival times aren't always 100% accurate. But for keeping an eye on your kid's bus, it's a pretty good option.

This app does not work when the school schedule is different, such as with two hour delays. It's also not useful when the bus is very late in the afternoon....
