Good but not always reliable

Great when it works, but one month into the school year the tracking has stopped working 3 times. However, they are very quick to respond and resolve issues.

**Edit: change to my rating. Save yourself the headache and just send your kids out a few minutes early.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing this! We’re glad our support team has been responsive, but we apologize for the tracking interruptions you've faced this month. Reliability is key, and we’re currently developing new performance updates to prevent these drops. If you ever run into trouble, please email us with your information at beaconconnect@gobeacon.com so we can help you!

Doesn’t work

I had both kids registered then they disappeared, can’t add them in anymore ? 1 bus is now missing? Annoying/ useless App - district should not spend on this . It’s 2026 an App this easy should work, get the app development dept from Uber .

Fix auto zoom out!

I don't understand how this app has 4 and 5 star reviews. I zoom in to see where the bus is and before I can read any street names the app zooms me back out. In 2025 a developer said they're working on a fix. Please publish a public API so we can access the GPS data. Claude can write a more functional app in 40 seconds.

Response from developer

We apologize for that. Trying to view street details shouldn't feel like a struggle! We are actually working on a fix and app enhancements right now to stabilize the zoom controls and smooth out map tracking. Please contact our support team at beaconconnect@gobeacon.com so we can help you more.

Never shows the bus

App never shows the bus and hardly ever lets me know when it’s within range.

Really helps a lot

Provides peace of mind and consistent bus notifications.
