So convenient

This year app has worked amazingly, love that I don’t have to be outside waiting without knowing how long is going to take as is time I could used for other things. Hope app keeps working as it as las year it was not reliable at all

Great when it works

This app is great… about 10 days a school year. The rest of the time the bus never displays on the map so you have no idea how far away it is. Very cool idea but it’s just not reliable

Alerts

This app is not working well for me I’m not receiving any alerts for one of the zones although set up properly and receiving alerts for the other zones…

Awful customer service

My app doesn’t work with my student name and ID number and it’s correct because I double checked with the school . I’ve been trying to contact the company via email and also with phone calls since the school year started and they never reply and never even tried to help me figure out what’s going on to try fixing my issue . It’s really frustrating to send tons of emails and not a single person to help .

Great App

I love this app. I’ve had to use it for 3 years for my son and it works great. I’m very happy with it and it’s dependable. Makes life easier for the parent.
