About this app

For participating Districts, Stopfinder gives parents and guardians access to view and share their student’s bus stop assignments as well as communicate with the Transportation Department.

With Stopfinder GeoAlerts, app users can create alert zones at any stop or school or along your student’s route. Stopfinder users will be notified when their student’s bus has arrived at or departed from an alert zone. Know where the bus is and know your student has arrived at or departed from any location along their assigned bus route.

Stopfinder Forms allows app users to complete electronic forms sent from their district through the Stopfinder app. Stopfinder users can view new forms and submitted forms through the Stopfinder Message Center.

Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) notifications can be configured by Stopfinder app users to display the bus’s ETA based on their student’s assigned stop and the bus’s location. ETA notifications appear on the student’s schedule in the Stopfinder app and inform users the amount of time until the bus arrives at their student’s assigned stop.

Control who can see your student’s assigned trip stops.

Send and receive messages from the school district’s Transportation department.

Ratings and reviews

Update 11/11/24 - app still inconsistent. Now a random child has been added to my account and bus tracking still doesn't work. That is not safe. Original review - The app is too inconsistent. One day, it works, then the next two, it doesn't. The alerts work when they want to. The bus icon sometimes populate but sometimes there's a delay where it's stuck, then it suddenly jumps to the location, or sometimes it says unavailabe. The ETAs don't even populate anymore.

UPDATE: They fixed the push notifications, for the most part. I still get late notifications. Would be awesome if there's an option to keep awake when looking at the map. OLD: Real time updates work. Setting up GeoAlerts is fine, but the most important aspect of it does not work. It will never push a notification to my phone and I will miss the fact that child departed from school or came into my neighborhood. Come on.....fix this PLEASE

People have been complaining about this app since it was released and they still haven't fixed it. Vehicle is never available. When alerts happen to work, it's well after the bus has already left, but still showing as unavailable. My child has walked home plenty of times, ALONE, because this app is useless and didn't tell me anything about the bus. Worst app on my phone when it comes to functionality. Wish I could give 0 stars since they don't fix it.
