### 2/5 — Used to work.

*2026-05-19, version 2.4.4*

Used to work great but last few days wont load at all.

### 1/5 — BusQuest

*2026-04-20, version 2.4.4*

Horrible no bus :(

### 2/5 — Nash McFann

*2026-02-02, version 2.4.4*

I updated my phone and now I can’t log in cause my username can’t be found

### 3/5 — “Entered zone” issue in AM only

*2026-01-28, version 2.4.4*

for some reason in the mornings the “bus entered your zone” notification comes through after kid al ready picked up. BUT it works like normal in afternoon.

### 1/5 — Dumb app

*2025-12-04, version 2.4.4*

I just downloaded the app as a student so I wouldn’t be late because I get to my house around 621 sometimes and this app wouldn’t even let me sign in.

### 5/5 — It makes every morning easy!

*2025-12-03, version 2.4.4*

I love this app. It tells me when their bus is nearby so they’re not sitting out in the rain getting soaking wet in the morning. I also love it because if they think they’ve missed the bus, I can tell if it’s still coming.

### 1/5 — This app is trash

*2025-11-24, version 2.4.4*

Has never worked from the beginning to this day

### 2/5 — Bus tracker does not work right

*2025-10-24*

Some morning it will work but most of the time it doesn’t work.   There has to be a better app for parents to use than this one

### 1/5 — Not a great app

*2025-09-24, version 2.4.4*

This app is not good. It has logged me out repeatedly and when I try to log back in it says my information isn’t in the system. So when I try to create a new account it states that my information isn’t in the system. There is no way to troubleshoot to fix on my own or even speak to anyone from support.

### 1/5 — literally never works

*2025-09-19, version 2.4.4*

my son has missed the bus multiple times because it has only tracked his bus one time.
