### 1/5 — Password reset

*2025-08-18, version 2.4.4*

It tells me that my credentials don’t match/exist but still send me a recovery code. The recovery code can’t be used because the app thinks my credentials don’t exist. So I never get to the page for the recovery code to enter the recovery code….🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-08-05, version 2.4.4*

I’m not sure what made them want to go to an app for this but this app is trash. Doesn’t work, glitches, doesn’t allow the screen to drop do you can add something. This app operates like someone in elementary school made it. Horrible!

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-08-04, version 2.4.4*

Can’t even get pass the login! Absolutely unacceptable! Not surprised with district 150

### 1/5 — Still doesn’t work

*2025-04-26, version 2.4.3*

The app doesn’t work properly. Explained to school who proceeded to tell me that it does. How can you tell me what works on my device I even explained that the app reviews talks about how horrible app is. But I digress. The person I spoke to I guess knows everything. Anyway. Horrible app. Hasn’t worked at all this whole year. Gave my kids watch trackers. Less stress fully accurate. Waste of phone space.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-04-24, version 2.4.3*

This app is terrible! Never works right. My kid’s school uses this app and it is so frustrating, early on most of the features worked but then they didn’t. The app will occasionally sign me out and my credentials will not work even though I know 100 percent they are right, so I end up having to recover password and set new one. But when I go to set the new one I get a “password reset had failed” message. This has happened before then suddenly the old one magically works again. There is no support for the app.

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2025-03-05, version 2.4.3*

Idk if because this app is new but we can’t even track the bus at all just 2 big blue bubbles that’s it , no notification when they come or close , the notifications pop up but always a white blank screen

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-01-29, version 2.4.3*

This app worked the first 2 weeks but now when I open the app the bus pops up but then disappears and I can’t track it ! Notifications pop up but when I go to see what it is nothing shows. This app needs some serious work.

### 1/5 — Cannot reset password

*2025-01-09, version 2.4.3*

Doesn’t work. No one to contact website doesn’t have help.  Terrible set up.

### 1/5 — App Fundamentally Flawed

*2025-01-07, version 2.4.3*

I can’t register as a parent because during the registration process the app has a keyboard that blocks the “verify” button. There is no way to swipe/close/enter through the keyboard after typing the verification code.   Visit My Stop was a much better app all around.  I’ll petition the school board to go back. What a waste of taxpayer money

### 1/5 — Notification and location tracking are bad

*2024-11-08, version 2.3.9*

You only get notification when the bus is close to the pickup location. Other apps do much better job and provide notice when bus starts and route and give you estimated arrival time.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-10-22, version 2.3.9*

Transportation said it would hopefully take 3-4 weeks to work out the bugs. However it’s been about 3 months and it still doesn’t work. Still has last years dates and information on it. This app is useless….

### 1/5 — THIS APP IS FRICKIN TRASH

*2024-10-11, version 2.3.9*

This is a bad app for the first days of school it’s gonna tell you but after that it’s not gonna tell you if the bus is in my zone it’s so trash it caused me to miss my bus

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-09-12, version 2.3.9*

So I downloaded the app and it doesn’t work. Nothing works at all. I’ll receive a notification on my phone and then when clicking it it completely disappears and o have an email set up with it and doesn’t even send it to the email! It tracks nothing at all. I’m lucky if I even receive a notification. Just horrible. HORRIBLE app. Nothing works on it. They need to fix it!

### 2/5 — Multiple issues

*2024-09-04, version 2.3.9*

The app does not work half the time. Initially i was receiving multiple notifications when the bus was in the area, as of this week i am not getting any at all. Very frustrating

### 1/5 — BusQuest

*2026-04-20, version 2.4.4*

Horrible no bus :(

### 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.

### 1/5 — This app is trash

*2025-11-24, version 2.4.4*

Has never worked from the beginning to this day

### 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.

### 1/5 — doesn't work

*2025-09-17, version 2.4.4*

I downloaded the app, registered a phone number, and entered my first and last name. I tried to log in, but the app asked me for a username! Which I didn't create! I entered my first and last name, but nothing worked! Then I decided to reset my password. I entered my phone number, and bam, it didn't exist in the system, but it still sent me a verification code.

### 1/5 — What a trash app

*2025-09-05, version 2.4.4*

I would give this app below zero star if I could. It’s not working as it should. It’s not even tracking nothing. I don’t get no notifications. I get students that’s not even mine added on when I did not request. I can’t even remove students from the app. It’s just all frustrating!!! Stupid app. Not useful at all. Why is the district even pay for this.

### 1/5 — not able to log in

*2025-09-04, version 2.4.4*

I’ve been signed on for years with no issues. I was recently required to put in my log in credentials and when I click forgot my password it says no account exists. Then I go to create an account and it says an account already exists.

### 1/5 — Used to be helpful

*2025-08-28, version 2.4.4*

This app has never worked right, however it did used to send notifications when my child was picked up/dropped off and that was helpful. This new school year it is even buggier, never sends any push notifications now, and the bus tracker often just doesn’t work at all. The notification list within the app stops working randomly also. I really wish our school district wouldn’t waste time and money on such a badly developed app. Frustrating.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-08-26, version 2.4.4*

It doesn’t notify when the bus get to the bus stop or in the zone

### 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.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-05-19, version 2.2.5*

Very helpful

### 5/5 — Information at your fingertips

*2024-05-17, version 2.2.5*

I really enjoy the ability to be able to register my student for transportation and also stay informed when my student gets on or off the bus

### 4/5 — Enhancement Request

*2023-09-22, version 1.2.13*

The app is great and usually works without issues. I would love to see the ability to reprint a new student badge. Kids are rough with their badges and need new ones from time to time and it’s not always convenient to travel to the school to have a new one printed.  Especially when the school charges $10!

### 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.

### 3/5 — A work in progress maybe?

*2025-01-08, version 2.4.3*

The app was working ok. The prior reviews were mostly on point for me at some point in time. Many have been updated. Forgot password does not work. After switching phones for the second time in 4 yrs the app tells me that the email address does not exist in the system. Same thing happened before and I used a secondary email address. This time I receive an email with a reset code but nowhere to enter it on the app. I have no desire to create a completely new email address for one app that I am forced to use by the school district. I have started driving my kids to school and they ride the bus home. I even reached out to the school hopping there was a back way to get back in but that’s a different story.

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2024-08-21, version 2.2.5*

Appreciate the navigation update. It’s helped me track the bus easily. The bus being slightly delayed is no issue either the issue is how much times I have to uninstall and reinstall the app because it’s stuck on the loading screen even with good internet connection. I hope this gets fixed soon

### 2/5 — Used to work.

*2026-05-19, version 2.4.4*

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

### 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

### 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
