### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2025-08-26*

You are better off calling the school district transportation directly than relying on this app to tell you the status of the bus, it doesn’t work. It will either show the bus being late by the wrong amount of time OR show the bus is on time when the bus is close to 40 minutes late. The concept is great but the execution is terrible.

### 2/5 — Cancel

*2025-01-09*

It doesn’t let me cancel the busses

### 1/5 — Busses not cancelled

*2024-12-11, version 4.1.0*

When I checked the app the busses aren’t cancelled and when I deleted it my foreskin came off

### 1/5 — Partially working app

*2024-09-03*

Would give 0 stars if possible.
App won’t perform Reset App. Have to delete and reinstall to change school district again.

### 2/5 — Somewhat Helpful, Keeps Forgetting Info

*2024-04-03*

This has been somewhat helpful.   We at least know if they are running late or not.   But the buses for this district themselves are very unreliable as far as what is “on time” especially in the afternoon.  That’s not the app’s fault. 

However it keeps losing my bus info - school district and favorites.   So I have to keep looking it up and entering again which is really frustrating!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-03-06*

Use it all the time

### 1/5 — School district bought it but isn’t using it

*2024-01-17*

There is absolutely no information on this app for our school district’s buses. Seems like we wasted tax money to purchase the app, got as far as adding the names of all the schools served/bus routes, and then at some point entirely gave up on it. I would blame the school district bus company, like another reviewer, but I think that’s leaves the app designers off the hook. When technology is not adequately designed to consider ease of use / use cases / usability, then you have a situation where people pay good money for something and then don’t use it because it makes life harder, not easier. This app isn’t well designed and any district considering purchasing should beware.

### 1/5 — Flakey

*2024-01-11*

This app never sends notifications no matter how many times I delete and reinstall.

### 4/5 — Multiple divisions needed

*2024-01-11*

Needs the option to favorite busses in more than one school division. Or at least to save busses starred when switching divisions.

### 1/5 — Can’t track 2 different bus routes

*2023-10-26*

My kids go to schools in different districts. Can’t track both busses. Need to delete one or the other. Guess I’ll have to choose my favourite kid.
