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

upd 5/1/25 1⭐- just don't use it; Upd 11/11/24 2 ⭐️ - app still inconsistent. Now a random child has been added to my account and bus tracking still doesn't work. That is not safe; Orig rev 3⭐️ - The app is too inconsistent. One day, it works, then the next two, it doesn't. The alerts work when they want to. The bus icon sometimes populate but sometimes there's a delay where it's stuck, then it suddenly jumps to the location, or sometimes it says unavailabe. The ETAs don't even populate anymore.

Probably one of the most frustrating apps to use because it just doesnt do what it is supposed to all the time. I get notifications of the bus like 20-30mins late most times, if at all. Edit: 9/30/2024: Notification issues confirmed doze related. People need to get doze stopper to kill doze feature since devs didnt do this app properly Notifications for busses still spotty and not working all the time either, but at least with doze disabled they are timely when they do work.

Never worked perfectly, but the latest update broke it. The app only shows the regular schedule, which I already know. it no longer shows the real time information or location, so what's the point? Bonus: I got notified of an update via text. I have notifications turned off. Edit: Real time info has appeared. That gets two stars. Let's see if it keeps it up.
