This is a great app upgrade from the previous version. I love the more accurate tracking for the bus! But, the push notifications are way too early for my child's stop time. Another thing I have noticed in the last couple days (since the most recent update) is that the notifications of the bus getting to a stop, I will get the notification at 4:43pm that the bus got to the stop at 2:23AM. So, something is wrong with the time stamp thing or something. Otherwise, great improvements!

this app is absolute trash. You can no longer set time updates, only distance. When setting distance location, you have to have an exact address, it won't recognize the cross street bus stop location. The map is terrible, it shows the entire globe, not your local district. the notifications don't work. It's a complete PITA to deal with, definitely a significant downgrade from the classic version, which was problematic, but still functional sometimes. This 1.0 version is completely useless.

Somehow they made it worse. The previous version was clunky and difficult, but at least it gave me an ETA, the new one is somehow more clunky and doesn't give useful information for parents. I want to have an idea of when the uss will actually arrive (today it's looking like 20+ minutes late) but that's impossible to actually figure out because the app doesn't tell me how many stops are remaining or an estimated delayed time.
