Version History of Shuttle Tracker

2.0.1

October 13, 2023

We’ve fixed some bugs with notifications, status messages, and more that crawled into the previous update.

2.0

September 21, 2023

After years of development, this is a massive update that delivers significantly improved accuracy and tracking coverage. Once you join the Shuttle Tracker Network, we can show you where the buses are even if you never tap the Board Bus button! • Join the Shuttle Tracker Network to unlock Automatic Board Bus! Your phone will communicate with Shuttle Tracker Node, our custom bus-tracking device, to detect when you board a bus and to activate the crowd-sourcing functionality. • Your privacy is protected by removing all identifying information from location submissions. Shuttle Tracker never tracks your location when you’re not physically riding a bus. • Receive push notifications when new announcements are posted. • Opt in to analytics collection to help our team plan new features, changes, and bug fixes. To protect your privacy, this feature is off by default. • We have a new logo, a new app icon, a new accent color, and a new map design! This is the biggest update to Shuttle Tracker with the most significant improvements in accuracy and tracking coverage since the introduction of the original Board Bus feature. If you haven’t been using Shuttle Tracker recently, then give it another try!

1.6

December 19, 2022

We’re releasing this update to prepare for some massive improvements that we plan to deploy early next year. • Shuttle Tracker now automatically detects errors and uploads diagnostic logs when they occur. You can see a record of recently uploaded logs or disable automatic uploads entirely in Settings > Logging & Analytics within the app. • We’ve made many small design improvements throughout the app. The new logging system is the first step towards an entirely new initiative that will dramatically increase Shuttle Tracker’s tracking coverage. Stay tuned for the big announcement early next year. In the meantime, remember to use Board Bus whenever you ride the shuttle!

1.5

October 21, 2022

Our next big update is here! Shuttle Tracker is ready for the Fall ’22 semester. • With our Dynamic Routes feature, you’ll see different routes separately on the map, each drawn in a unique color. • Unviewed announcements are now highlighted and are no longer included in the badge number, so you’ll know what’s new and what you don’t need to re-read. • The re-center button now ensures the complete visibility of all routes on the map. • We’ve made some minor design improvements and fixed some bugs. That’s all for now, but we have more big updates coming soon. Remember to use Board Bus whenever you ride the shuttle!

1.4

May 19, 2022

Here’s a small update with some features that didn’t make the cut last time. • With Dynamic Schedule, the schedule information in the info sheet will always be up-to-date. • We’ve made some minor design improvements. We have so much more planned for future updates. Remember to use Board Bus whenever you ride the shuttle!

More

1.3

March 28, 2022

The next big update to Shuttle Tracker is here! • The default maximum distance away from a stop at which you can board a bus is now 50 meters. If the setting doesn’t update automatically, then you can manually change it in Settings > Advanced. • We’ve significantly improved the app’s navigation structure, so it’s now much easier to find information and additional functionality. • Board Bus requires location access, so we’ll now prompt you to share your location. • We’ll notify you if you forget to tap “Leave Bus”. • You can re-center the map with the new re-center button. We have so much more planned for future updates. Remember to use Board Bus whenever you ride the shuttle!

More

1.2.1

February 23, 2022

This version includes a hotfix for a bug that prevented the bus markers from updating properly.

1.2

February 19, 2022

There’s a lot that’s new in this update! We’ve overhauled the onboarding flow; added some advanced settings, such as the maximum distance away from a stop at which you can board a bus; implemented some small improvements to the UI layout in many different parts of the app; and fixed many bugs, including the one that made the route and stop graphics flicked whenever the map was refreshed. We’re working on new, innovative technologies to improve dramatically the accuracy of Shuttle Tracker. You can help: remember to tap “Board Bus” whenever you board a bus!

1.1

November 23, 2021

Price History of Shuttle Tracker

Description of Shuttle Tracker

Shuttle Tracker lets you track the real-time locations of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus shuttle buses with crowdsourced location data. Now more accurate than ever before, never miss the shuttle again! Shuttle Tracker never collects your location when you’re not physically riding a bus. Features: • Automatic Board Bus augments GPS data with crowdsourced location data, even for buses that don’t have GPS hardware. • The Shuttle Tracker Network connects your phone with Shuttle Tracker Node, our custom bus-tracking device, to enable a completely transparent experience that automatically activates Board Bus in the background. You don’t even need to take your phone out of your pocket! • Announcements deliver timely information, such as schedule changes, right in the app. • The App Clip provides quick access to Shuttle Tracker just by scanning an App Clip Code at a shuttle stop or by launching relevant Siri Suggestions from your Home Screen. • Universal compatibility works across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Shuttle Tracker for iOS and iPadOS works best on iOS/iPadOS 17 and newer. We recommend that iOS/iPadOS 15 and 16 users update to the latest version of iOS/iPadOS to get the best Shuttle Tracker experience.
