Ratings and reviews

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!

the app isn't really super intuitive, and there are lots of clicks to get to what I used to find easily. I also find it VERY difficult to set my notification parameters. I get a notification 30 minutes before the bus arrives and cant change that easily - but my kids won't be attentive that long! in general I just find this version of the app to be very frustrating compared to last year's version.

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.
