What's New in Carpool Scheduler App
1.3
August 26, 2026
Choose how driving is split. When you create a carpool, pick one driver per event (the same parent drives there and back) or two drivers per event (one each way). The availability questions and the schedule adjust to match, and there-and-back events swap as a whole. A new preference question: families can say they'd rather drive both directions on the days they drive. The schedule honors it when it can, without making anything less fair. A progress bar now shows while the app reads written availability, and reading is faster. The Generate button now waits until each family has confirmed their availability, not just started entering it. Bug fixes, including the Rate the App and Share the App links.
MoreFAQ
How does Carpool Scheduler ensure fairness?
Carpool Scheduler prioritizes fairness by never assigning a family a slot they cannot do. It aims to keep trip counts even for both drop-offs and pickups, considers preferences, and spreads out trip types to avoid overburdening any single family.
Can families without the app participate?
Yes, families you invite to your carpool can access the scheduling system through their phone's web browser. They do not need to install the app or create an account to provide their availability.
How are changes to the schedule handled?
When drivers trade a day, any member of the carpool can record the change within the app. The schedule will reflect the update, showing who originally was assigned and how the trip counts have adjusted.
What happens if a slot cannot be filled?
If no family is available or able to cover a specific carpool slot, the app will clearly mark it as needing a driver. It will not assign the slot to someone who has indicated they cannot drive.
How often is Carpool Scheduler updated?
The app was last updated on August 26, 2026, with version 1.3. This indicates a recent update, suggesting ongoing development and support.

Carpool Scheduler is designed for organizing carpools and requires an iPhone for setup. The families you invite only need a phone with a web browser to participate.
