Never Works

It’s the first day of school and this stupid app is already not working. It showed my kids’ bus being across town, but then it suddenly pulled up outside our house and we had to rush outside. I hate this app so much and wish our school would use something else. What’s the point of tracking the bus if it’s never where the app says it is?

Never smooth at year’s start

This app has trouble updating my child’s info at the start of each year. Even the customer support form gives me errors when I try to submit the problems. Very useful when it works but it’s still my least favorite school app.

Unreliable

Whether or not all features work is about 50/50. The tracking of the bus is delayed or will freeze and arrival notifications are often inconsistent. It’s only function is to track a bus yet a cell phone does a better job

Good app

Worst Bus app

You don’t upgrade your software properly. Everytime you try to do any changes in the app it get even worst. None of the notifications are shared on time.
