App is basically useless
Doesn’t show where the bus is ever, half the time doesn’t let us know how many stops away the bus is.
Worked perfect first day now don’t
The first day of school it worked perfectly. Showed where the buses were on the map and how far away it was. Now it works for the most part for my son in middle school but it says it arrived to pick up my daughter in elementary school an hour early. It don’t show her bus on the map at all don’t tell how far away it is. This is really frustrating! And yesterday afternoon it said arrived to pick up my daughter at her bus stop then a minute later said dropped her off

Needs work
I can never see when the bus is coming to pick my son up or on the way to drop him off.
Unreliable/ they delete bad reviews
I never see updates for my elementary student. The app is not reliable, glitchy at best, the map feature is the worst. It will show my high schoolers bus all the time, even after it drops them off and heads back to the bus depot. But never showed my other children’s bus.
SKSD Sept2025
Based on previous reviews of this app, it seems like a lot of updates have been made. The school district that I use this for doesn’t require my kid to scan any kind of fob, the gps on the bus (so far) has seem to be very accurate and I like the refresh rate for the bus being every 2-4 seconds.
The only adjustment that I would to be the most helpful, is if the notifications chimed like other apps notifications. I’m not sure if other users have had this problem, but I only SEE the notifications on my Lock Screen and banners. Even when my phone ringer is on and I get notification sounds for other things, this one seems to be the only one that I don’t get the sounds for. Which means I have to constantly be looking at my phone while getting my child ready and packed for the bus.
If some kind of update and/or bug fix for this could happen, I would be more than happy to change to a 5 star review and even recommend to other parents in the district and bus area to re download the app.

No notification sounds
The tracking has been working to some extent but the notification sounds will not work. I have adjusted all my notifcations and there is no sound which defeats the purpose of having the app at all.
Sometimes works
It's been frozen and won't load half the time
Almost gave me a heart attack
This app has not been working properly. I cannot see when my child’s bus is coming on the map. Today my heart dropped in my stomach because I was waiting for my child at her bus stop and it suddenly said she was off the bus but she was not at our stop. I instantly started panicking thinking maybe she got off on the wrong stop. The bus arrived at our bus stop 2 minutes after it said she was already off the bus. This needs to be fixed ASAP. In early called the school and the police thinking my child was let off somewhere else. RIDICULOUS!

Does not work
I was really excited for this app. The map feature does not work, it’s inaccurate and spotty at best. Our school started it this year And I can see why it only has 2 stars.
No notifications, no map
The map sometimes shows the bus location but 90% of the time it doesn’t work. I was getting notifications when pick up/drop offs happen but that has now stopped working. I can open the app and check and see they’re picked up/dropped off and the time it happen but no notifications whatsoever. It was working fine at the start of the year and 3wks in and it’s broke already.

Useless!
I can’t believe schools are recommending this! It took forever to get logged on (says network is busy), provides incomplete and inaccurate information, and the map feature has always been incorrect and mainly unavailable.
Total garbage
This app rarely works. It says the kids are on the bus when they aren’t, it doesn’t show the bus on the map until after it’s gone, it logs you out randomly and/or shows that you have no bus riders, and often won’t let you log back in for long periods after forced log out. It’s just generally trash and the developers should be ashamed of themselves. Their families should be ashamed of them. Their mothers should stop loving them because of how bad this app is.

The best
This app is great! It helps see where the bus, and where your child is. It also helps show where and when the buss will be at your stop. It does get better with updates
Notification not working
Works maybe 3 out of 5 days of the school week. I always have to log out the back in to maybe get some bus info. Also the notifications do t make a sound I double checked my settings but I never hear the notifications.
Dumb
Waste of time… doesn’t track properly and doesn’t notify you of anything! Two thumbs down!
Bus Compass
The map part of it has only worked for part of a day. The notices rarely work. The “Bus is near” has never worked. Often it doesn’t register when the kids get on or off the bus.
Why in the world would school districts pay good money for an app that doesn’t work?

Not functional
Horrible app probably the worst ever.
Not reliable since it never works when you open it.
Thumbs down! Don’t waste your time downloading. Just use another app for phone tracking which will be reliable.

Notifications stopped working
App pretty useless without notifications
No notifications
As I work from home, I relied on this providing updates to confirm I’m available to pick up my young child. I can no longer count on this and now rely on calendar updates. Was nice when it was actually working.
Used to be pretty good
I think the last update messed up more than it fixed. Last school year, I got notifications. So far this school year, since August, I don't get any notifications. Total bummer.
