I do not. I never do. But it asks every time before it even allows me to use the app. I dont understand why this is something I need to answer every single damn time. ### 3/5 — Great idea but needs work. *2025-09-15, version 1.14* It’s a great idea, we were really excited to hear about it. That didnt last very long, it just doesn’t seem to work and there is no way to get any help. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t track *2025-07-23, version 1.14* The tracker doesn’t work. It just says “no recent bus location”. How helpful is that?… ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-08-23, version 1.14* My kid has 3 routes and only one ever shows up randomly, about 20% of the time, and it's never correct. No ETA is given either. Waste of space. Don't bother downloading. ### 2/5 — Great idea but needs work. *2024-08-19* It’s a great idea, we were really excited to hear about it. That didnt last very long, it just doesn’t seem to work and there is no way to get any help. ### 1/5 — 0 stars.. *2024-07-31, version 1.14* The idea is great, but this app does not work. Every year my school district pushes us to use this app and every year the issues are the same. For the past 12 years, this app has been glitchy when it does work and it has only actually worked maybe 10%. The map always states that there are no recent locations and all you get is an empty map or if you do see your bus it will be stopped in the same spot for 10 minutes. I wish our district would choose a different more reliable app for this concept. ### 2/5 — Needs more options *2024-07-14, version 1.14* All only allows you to track four routes. If you have even two kids at different schools in activities, that’s six routes between AM, PM, and after activities. It’s a nice idea that could be a great resource, but I guess since it doesn’t make anyone any money there’s no drive to fix or improve anything. ### 1/5 — Do Not Use! *2022-04-21, version 1.14* I missed my bus because nothing happened on the app. This app is terrible and should not be a thing. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-02-03, version 1.14* This is the worst app! If you are charging $30 for each bus in our school system to track the busses, then the school is being screwed.if I could give a negative rating I would. The app has never worked. I have it on multiple devices, have entered the school code and route multiple times and nothing gets fixed! No bus is ever shown. I highly recommend NOT to use this app. ### 1/5 — Does not update fast enough *2021-10-22, version 1.14* Setting the app was very easy, no login or account needed. Just enter the school code and the bus route. That is where the good ends. The location lags about 5 minutes and the app updates location every 40 seconds or so. The first day I saw the bus not move for 10 minutes or so, but the clock was still running. I thought the bus had break down or gotten into an accident. Nope, the app was just not refreshing the location. The notification do not function, there is no alert the bus arrived or a way to configure options. It would be nice to get an alert saying “ the bus is on route ETA 3 minutes” or something configurable. It would be nice if the refresh rate was less than 5 seconds and was accurate to 100feet or so. It would be nice to get notified the bus arrived at school or just departed school. Again configurable options. Good concept terrible execution. Totally missing on what it advertises to do, which is reduce time wasting at the bus stop. ## Frequently asked questions about SpotMyBus! ### How does SpotMyBus work?
