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!

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.

App works well enough. We had an app for another service last year and it notified when the student arrived at school. That is one feature that I miss. We also have instances where a trip is missing, or shows canceled when we didn't cancel and a call to dispatch confirms it's not canceled. On those days we don't have any visibility or arrival notifications. Dispatch isn't sure why this happens.
