This morning for example, estimated 20 minutes away as my children were getting on the bus. ### 2/5 — Annoying to deal with *2026-06-26, version 3.4.6* Super clunky and unreliable, one second it shows the bus at 6 minutes away and the next shows it at 2 minutes. ### 3/5 — Map switched to google *2025-11-25, version 3.3.2* 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??? ### 4/5 — Louder notification please *2025-10-03, version 3.3.0* 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. :) ### 3/5 — No notification Sound *2025-09-12, version 3.2.4* 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. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2025-09-11, version 3.2.4* 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? ### 3/5 — Why is there no notification sound? *2025-09-04, version 3.2.4* 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??? ### 4/5 — Ok *2025-04-07, version 3.0.6* 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. ### 2/5 — Help! *2025-01-31, version 3.0.3* 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. ### 1/5 — The stops are not updated and incorrect information *2024-09-24, version 1.2024.23* The information on my app is from the schools my kids were at last year. Additionally, the really crappy IRCSD Transportation office updated my routes, never told the bus drivers who left my children stranded and obviously that information still hasn’t gotten to BusRight. ### 3/5 — Better than nothing *2024-09-24, version 1.2024.23* It’s ok. Our bus route vary. One day it will be 15-20 minutes later than the previous day. This app does give an estimate, but those estimates are off by a lot. We live in WA. While keeping track of where the bus was yesterday, it showed the bus in Salem Oregon. ### 3/5 — Learning curve *2024-09-17, version 1.2024.23* It’s a good app, but if the bus driver doesn’t use it right it can cause a lot of frustration. ### 1/5 — Not enough Option *2024-09-16, version 1.2024.23* I have multiple kids riding different busses at different times but the app only allows me to see the whole school district, but doesn’t have em labeled for what school they go too so I can’t figure out which bus my kids are suppose to be on. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t show time *2024-09-10, version 1.2024.23* This app would be great if it provided timestamps because otherwise what’s the point. Either my app it faulty or it’s the app. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-09-05, version 1.2024.23* The app doesn’t let me sign up I keep trying it but it keeps saying invitation not found ### 1/5 — Not Accurate *2024-09-04, version 1.2024.23* Tracking not reliable ### 1/5 — Not accurate! *2024-08-28, version 1.2024.23* The times and bus location are off by substantial times. ### 3/5 — They can make it better *2024-08-19, version 1.2024.23* The app doesn’t update on time. Sometimes it just keeps offline during the whole ride. It’s not accurate ### 1/5 — No veo *2024-08-14, version 1.2024.23* No se nada del movimiento del bus ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Total trash *2026-08-25, version 3.4.7* 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. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-18, version 3.4.7* 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. ### 1/5 — No timely support *2026-08-17, version 3.4.7* 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. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2025-10-28, version 3.3.1* The app is too slow to be useful and it notifies you with inaccurate information ### 1/5 — App regularly won’t load *2025-09-29, version 3.3.0* It gets stuck on the initial logo. Won’t work for me or my wife or daughter. ### 1/5 — We shall see… *2025-08-07, version 3.1.4* 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… ### 1/5 — I do t like the new update *2025-04-14, version 3.1.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-12-06, version 3.0.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Worst *2024-10-02, version 1.2024.23* 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 ### 1/5 — Only works if your school admin uses it correctly *2024-09-30, version 1.2024.23* Can’t seem to link up with out school routes. Worked the first year, hasn’t since ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I’m a middle schooler and the app helps me a lot *2025-11-10, version 3.3.1* It helps me in the morning when my bus will come so I know how many minutes I have to get ready ### 5/5 — Awesome App, but…… *2024-06-19, version 1.2024.23* This app is so much better than the stopfinder app our district transitioned from. The app is very consistent and hasn’t crashed nor lagged since we started using it. It would be the school app of the year in my opinion, but it needs to be compatible with Apple Watch. Most of us parents aren’t walking around with our phones early in the morning, we are trying to get our kids ready for the bus. Unfortunately I have to wear a Fanny pack to keep my phone with me to get updates about the bus. Please make this app compatible with Apple Watch asap please please pretty please. ### 5/5 — Bus app *2024-01-29, version 1.2023.38* I absolutely love this app because it’s very accurate ♥️ ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-12-04, version 1.2023.38* I really like having this app it helps me out to know if there is any problems with pick ups or drop offs and I like to know where the bus is at so if there is a problem I know where my son is and get him if the bus breaks down or something like that ### 5/5 — Great App. WatchOS version please! *2023-10-04, version 1.2022.22* Love this app. As a busy parent it removes so much anxiety to make sure I get my kindergartener out the door on time. I only wish there was an accompanying version of the app for my Apple Watch for a quick check. Instead I find myself setting a timer as a backup when I know the estimated time to arrival on a given day. ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-08-02, version 1.2022.22* I really enjoy this app and knowing where the bus is located. I recommend more schools should do this. It keep me at ease knowing where and when my children will be arriving or picked up. ### 5/5 — Great! *2022-11-04, version 1.2022.22* My terribly anxious son with Autism is soothed and relieved being able to see where the bus is. So helpful! ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2020-08-19, version 1.3.0* Like Uber for school buses. So great to see the real time location of the school bus!! ### 5/5 — Peace of Mind for Parents 🤩 *2020-06-11, version 1.3.0* Knowing where my child’s bus is has been incredibly helpful in providing me with peace of mind. Nice to see new innovation in school buses. Thanks, BusRight! **Developer response:** Thank YOU! We are so glad you're enjoying BusRight - your support is invaluable to us. If you have any fun & innovative ideas for product enhancements, we're all ears! ### 5/5 — Wonderful way to track my son’s bus! *2020-05-06, version 1.1.4* I can now get notifications when the bus is arriving or dropping off. Really helpful when the bus arrives earlier or later than usual. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
