Ratings and reviews

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 email that the bus came. FIX TO HELP OTHERS ASAP!!!!

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 call or email back.

This app barely ever works. There are times it will not show the bus. There are times it's showing a bus but it's not your child's bus! The app is so hard to maneuver. It's like the app really needs to be a little more easy to use especially when parents are extremely busy and just want to know where our child's bus is and how long till it arrives. Estimating times for pickup and drop off I understand do very but trying to get it a little more precise, especially when the weather is bad outside.
