How does time work for you?

The estimated time is very rarely accurate. This morning for example, estimated 20 minutes away as my children were getting on the bus.

Total trash

My school switched to this app this year, they deleted my son’s name. He missed his bus and now maybe in a few weeks he’ll get back on the app. What a joke what a piece of trash definitely don’t get this for your school.

Terrible

Appears this app is like all other apps, profit first, functionality second. If you are a parent, be prepared to just ditch the app and call the school.

No timely support

Back to school season and zero timely support for the app. Unable to access the app via invitation and it’s been crickets on all fronts.

Annoying to deal with

Super clunky and unreliable, one second it shows the bus at 6 minutes away and the next shows it at 2 minutes.

Map switched to google

For some reason, the maps have switched to using google map. There goes my privacy! BusRight needs to ditch google or fix their privacy policy to read, “We don’t collect your data but google sure does!”
It changed to google a while back. Somehow I was able to change it back to Mapbox. Today, it changed back to google and I can’t figure out how to change it back again. Apparently google is sending money to BusRight in exchange for our IP addresses, our physical location details, our WiFi information, and anything else they want???

I’m a middle schooler and the app helps me a lot

It helps me in the morning when my bus will come so I know how many minutes I have to get ready

Pointless

The app is too slow to be useful and it notifies you with inaccurate information

Louder notification please

I love this I just wish I could hear or change my notification on when it arrives, it’s to low and sometimes I get busy for a couple minutes when I get it if I could change it that would be great. I have an iPhone and couldn’t find where to change it on phone or app. :)

App regularly won’t load

It gets stuck on the initial logo. Won’t work for me or my wife or daughter.

No notification Sound

Good app other than there’s no notification sound or vibration. It would be very helpful if we could get alerts about the bus route.

Could be better

For the morning route the app seems to give correct notifications to my phone. I am already at work though so I am not able to check it. In the afternoon the app is not correct. My daughter just got dropped off and I had the app open to see where she was and the app said she was 26 minutes away. Every afternoon the app has been like that. I don’t understand why I am not getting correct information. I have an iPhone so maybe the app doesn’t work great with it?

Why is there no notification sound?

So far the app seems to be really helpful, however I miss all of the alerts. This app really needs a notification sound for all notifications. Why is there no alert noise???

We shall see…

Our school district switched to BusRight for the upcoming school year and so far the majority of the district is getting an error message when trying to log in after making an account. First bus of the year comes in about 7 hours…

I do t like the new update

New update makes it pretty much useless to me. There are times when the bus is 30 minutes late due to lack of bus drivers. They updated it that now I can only see where the bus is when It is within 5 minutes from me. If I can’t see where the bus is from start to finish I can’t decide whether I need to bring my kids to school to get him there on time. Stupid update that I hope they fix.

Ok

It’s better than the app out district used to use which I think was StopFinder. It always works which is more than I can say for the former. The tracker can be a bit off some times, it’ll show the bus quite far away then all of a sudden it’s really close.
What is minor but really bus me is that when you open the app it defaults to whatever route is listed first. So mine opens to a sub bus that was used once. I wish it would default to the bus route that is the next one to run chronologically.
Also wish it worked with Apple Watch.

Help!

When the app works, it’s great. But I’ve been getting nothing but a yellow screen for a couple of weeks now. The app works for my husband, but not for me. I’ve sent emails but still still no solution.

Awful

This app rarely works and I’ve tried to contact support but the support link sends me to the website that has no support link to actually get support from.

Worst

I don’t know if it the company or app but this is very unorganized. It said one thing then do another. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone!!!!!!! Bb

Only works if your school admin uses it correctly

Can’t seem to link up with out school routes. Worked the first year, hasn’t since
