Alerts.

Still aren’t getting afternoon alerts when the bus is in the radius. Really frustrating

Good but

The bus pass only works sometimes because when I accidentally forget my id i use the bus pass but only works a certain amount of times and when it doesn’t work the bus driver just gives me a disgusted look.

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t show locations at all, at times it tells you where they been and time they finish hours after it happen , it’s been 4 months and still the same, school also has been asking to fix it

Missed Bus

Trying to figure out where the “Failure” is… my child’s bus is NEVER on the App…I’m going to guess it’s with Hoke County

garbage

its not user friendly
also the school district sucks

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.

Sketchy at best

It didn’t work for the first 4 weeks of school. I reached out to app support and the school multiple times. Tech support put in a ticket per their email and 2 weeks later it was working.
It worked well for 2 weeks and now doesn’t work anymore after week 6 of school. The bus went to the garage for repairs so I don’t know if the tracking system was shut off at that time but it didn’t work afterwards. Luckily, at least for the afternoon, my child has a tracker in a book bag so I have an idea when drop off will be.
2 stars is because when it worked it worked well.

Trash

Does not work with modern password managers. Someone should pay me to use this piece of garbage app.

Doesn’t work

When I tried to get a email sent to my school email to verify it even though it says it was sent it wasn’t in my email

Afternoon bus tracking information is delayed

I’m not sure whether the issue is with the app itself or the bus tracking system, but there is a significant problem with the afternoon tracking information.

In the morning, the app works as expected. It provides live updates when the bus enters the designated radius and immediately notifies me when my child has been picked up and dropped off. However, in the afternoon, those notifications are not provided in real time. Instead, the pickup and drop-off information may not appear until 3 or 4 o’clock the following morning.

This defeats the purpose of having a real-time bus tracking app, especially when parents rely on it to know when their child has safely arrived home. This issue needs to be addressed and corrected. Unacceptable.

Clyde-Green Springs Schools

The app is probably fine. With that said it is only as good as the morons in your school district entering info to use it

A issue

This app is good but sometimes am not able to see the bus at all and it logged me out my account and now I can’t see my bus

Awful

App never works correctly. Busses are constantly not showing and when you try to get it fixed nobody cares.

no divorce mode!

I live at two houses and often cant see the one im at, wish there was a way to switch for divorce

App keeps saying bus is changed and its the same bus

The app keeps saying my sons bus is replaced with another bus, and shows a different bus across town and my sons normal bus picks him up. Whats the point of this app if it doesnt work properly?

Updates

It never updates quick enough and im not sure if its because of the bus itself or the driver but it shouldnt take 20 minutes for it to update
