Inconsistent

My experience with the app has been inconsistent. Had lots of issues last year. The wrong bus was being tracked but I received notifications for the right bus. It worked perfectly during the summer. And this year, tracking and notifications aren’t real time, very late, which makes the app useless. These issues might be the fault of the district transportation department. Not sure. Trying to troubleshoot with them is a dead end.

A joke

I have 2 kids who ride 2 different buses this app is never accurate with my sons bus. It will tell me at 7:48 that his bus has arrive at the bus stop which is incorrect because by that time my Son is already at his school

Just stopped working

It worked great for about a month and suddenly it stopped. No one k owes why or how to get it back online. Every time I login the map drops straight onto the center of my city and shows nothing else.

Doesn’t work anymore

It was a good app until the start of the school this year stopped working for us. We have 2 kids in different schools and it’s doesn’t work.

Functionality

My daughter has a shared household due to divorce and I cannot view my route this year as I am not the primary address. I find it odd that for as many children that exist in the same scenario as my daughter in our country, that there would not be an update upcoming or planned? Please find a way to help those of us caught in this situation. App is very informative and helpful and I miss its content. I have used the app for years prior but since my daughter now has 2 different routes, I have no access to such things as delays, bus substitutions, etc.
