Ok for the most part

Buses can sometimes not appear on the map at all, causing a student to miss their bus, this is because the bus can lose connection and the gps signal fails to go through. It was fine most of the time though. But there were several days where I didn’t know where the bus was.

Could be better

This is definitely more convenient than waiting around for the bus. However between the live activity sometimes glitching with freezing on the map location and the custom time alerts for the bus arrival not taking other stops into account for an ETA, it's not as helpful as it could be. Having a status indicator or status bar with upcoming stops and completed stops would be extremely useful to quickly glance at with a chaotic morning. It would be even more useful to have a status indicator, live activity, route information, and notifications easily viewable/accessible in a widget so the app doesn't need to be opened every single time. My child's bus route has been changed by the district's transportation department and the change didn't come with any notifications which has caused a lot of confusion. Even if the district should send out their own communication, the app should provide alerts for any programmed route changes too. Additional changes that would be useful are allowing student accounts so that they can also access the route info/changes/live tracking on different devices and having integration with different home hubs like Alexa or Google Home to help with household management.
