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.

Control who can see your student’s assigned trip stops, view attendance history, and receive notifications when attendance has been taken or a vehicle substitution has been made.

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

Ratings and reviews

Half the time it works, the other half it doesn't. It's always loosing the location of the bus (saying vehicle location unavailable) that's not helpful when the whole point of the app is to track the bus. The maintenance tool on the map never works and somehow the school transportation department isn't seeing the messages I sent through the app. The afternoon drop off and notifications seem to work as normal, but the morning (3 days in a row or more) no vehicle location. APP IS POINTLESS!!

School year has just begun. It's the end of October and this app has not been reliable, yet. I either cannot log-in, or the bus doesnt appear on the map and shows as " unavailable". When the bus does appear, its on a BIG delay showing the bus farther away than it really is. Glitchy. In our region, we get feet of snow at a time and rains constantly. Having your kids stand in the elements waiting on a bus that is not accurately displayed on the app stinks. This app could be awesome if it worked.

I've had issues with this app since day one. This year has been exceptionally worse than years past. Usually, I get a notification saying "location is unavailable." Since the weather is changing and getting colder, and I dont want to stand outside longer than I have to, I wanted to try and troubleshoot my issues, so I logged out, uninstalled the app, reinstalled, and restarted my phone and now my schedules/routes won't even load. So now I'm in a worse situation than I was before.
