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.

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

Ratings and reviews

This app is garbage. No school district should use it. It's most basic function, showing the location of the bus, works maybe 10% of the time. On the rare occasion you can see the bus location, don't let your screen go to sleep! Because then it will have to find the bus all over again, and usually it will not relocate the bus. Even in the unlikelihood that you do get to see the bus location, it never updates to show any movement.

Doesn't work half the time. Often says vehicle location unavailable and will not locate bus. Very inconvenient when trying to untilize it to prevent student from having to stand out in the not so great elements here in Oklahoma! Needs alot of work! Would be nice to have a feedback section and help section to click on for help with troubleshooting when App is not working properly and to suggest additions/changes to the App!

If I could give this app zero stars, I would. It took weeks for me to even open it because it kept crashing. After many uninstalls and re-downloads I was finally able to get into it, only to find my child's route was stuck on a map of NY (we live in TN). After getting that issue fixed, we can see a location dot on our house, but no bus. Stopfinder- we already know where we live. We would like to know where the BUS is. Please fix this issue! Otherwise, this app is completely useless.
