Fixes

Please stop zooming out after I zoom in. Please. Please. Also, when viewing the bus on the map, having it labeled with the route name or letting us label it would be better than a random 5 digit number that doesn’t tell me which bus I’m looking at when we track multiple buses.

Useful mist days

App us great when ut works and saves sitting at the bus stop in the rain but it can be glitchy and logs out out periodically then obviously doesn’t send you notifications until you log back in again

Won’t let me enter a route number

I love the concept of this app, but it will not let me enter a route number to be able to actually use it. Support seems to be nonexistent, hoping a review will help get some attention.

Inconsistent & never works on non-typical days

I usually don’t write reviews, especially negative ones, but I’m at my limit with this app today. Open it, doesn’t show the bus. WHAT?!? Nothing is different today. Of course, on days when schedules are different, like early out, delayed start (i.e. snow or ice delays), and first day of school, year after year, the app fails to show the buses, which on these days are the absolute most important, because they are different from the regular schedule, and as parents needing to change our schedules and get kids, knowing where the bus is on “off-days” is most critical, especially for those with young children.
Why can’t this app just function normally everyday???? It’s not like it’s a new app and everyone, including the bus drivers, are trying to figure it out. Don’t understand why app and technology tweaks haven’t been figured out and set by this point.

Another addition to the review: Multiple times I’ve submitted feedback about the alert zones not allowing a smaller target area to be set, but haven’t heard back and nothing has been done.

The smallest circumference (zoomed out), is still way too big for those of us whose bus travels through a residential neighborhood on streets that are nearby parallel or close-knit streets. I can’t set certain alert zones for my kids, because if I put them on the places I want to, the alert sounds when some other random person is in that location with an alert.

Would it be so hard to allow us to make much more precise locations and choices in the app?

I just want the option of taking with my daughter’s stomach attendedrexekcwkne. Dose admiadfmkoladdsssssssss

Do we receive any credits or compensation for accepting the replacement materials, but the. That they were going to leave. Maybe in should have greeted them.
