### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-09-25*

This app is pointless. Never shows the buses updated location. 

My wife will have her app open showing the bus in its correct location, I’ll open mine standing next to hers and mine shows its sitting at the bus garage. 

Maybe works 2 days out of 5.

### 5/5 — Amazing, just… amazing.

*2023-09-07*

I don’t know how to explain this, it’s amazing.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2021-10-29*

This app doesn’t even deserve the one star, but unfortunately that’s the lowest you can give. It’s very rare that it actually works. Most of the time the buses are frozen, and other days like today you can’t even logon. It will work in the morning when I first bring it up, and five minutes later when I go to check it is no longer working. I was going to say that it was inconsistent, but it consistently doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Not that bad

*2021-10-27*

it help me because i’m always scared if ill miss the bus so i’m always out there like 15 minutes early so now i’m there just about 5.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-08-27*

One star I am giving is for the driver who brings my boy home other than that it’s just horrible. The bus keeps leaving my boy and I can’t even track it at all

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2021-03-23*

This app is completely unreliable, one day it works fine, the next it says that it’s not able to find the same rout for the same student, and now the gps tracking so so off that my child is dropped off as the app says the bus is till ten blocks away.
Completely useless, at least deliver the basic service!

### 4/5 — Works but glitches

*2021-03-09*

You have to live in Ohio or have your bus be petermann so that’s why it is bad for some of you. Works for me but u have to refresh it a little bit. Sometimes it says the bus is off road.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2021-02-23*

Does not work. Just says error no students found.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2021-02-08*

This hasn’t worked in a few weeks now. Very inaccurate and the bus icon doesn’t even move any more. Sad, we used to rely on this app a lot.

### 1/5 — Terrible!!!

*2020-09-01*

When the app actually works it is great! However it never works it always logs you out and then never lets you log back in!!! It is super frustrating especially when you have kids walking to the bus at 6:30 on the morning!! It’s just so annoying!
