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

Very helpful when it works, but that is almost never. Screen freezes, geo alerts won't work, the bus location is usually unavailable, and if the bus does show up on the screen, it's not actually where it claims to be. It will show the bus immediately by my house upon opening the app, but then it won't move/freezes for 10+ minutes. At this point, we just watch for the bus because this app is not accurate and reliable. Potential to be very, very helpful if it can work consistently.

Worst app EVER!!! If I could give this negative stars I would. This has been nothing but a headache. Great idea, extremely poorly executed. For the random few times it has worked for me it's notifications are frustratingly delayed. You can't count on them. I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app, force-stopped the app, signed out and back in again more times that I care to count, reloaded my geo locations numerous times and nothing helps. The app creators need to to fix this on their end.

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.
