Ratings and reviews

**Edit....Bus not visible pops up again today. Please resolve. When the app is working, it's great, however lately it's had issues. I receive a notification that the bus is in radius, but the app pops up a message that the bus is not visible at this time. It doesn't show up at all. I receive notifications when she scans her badge, but still no visibility. This happens in the afternoon as well. Please fix these issues.

Nearly useless. It only works about a third of the time and I'm positive it's the app because there's been plenty of times my wife's would work but not mine, or vice versa. Then when it's supposed to send me a notification and email when the bus is a mile away, it usually sends neither, or only one, and that's when I often don't even get the notification until AFTER my 5yr is dropped off. Doesn't help that her bus driver takes a different freaking route half the time. Garbage written by amateurs

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!!!!
