Geo Alerts

I like how the geo alerts work. I don't know what happened to the estimated time of arrival alerts, but still, I like the fact that you can share maps.

Searching for bus location

I love that we are able to see when the bus is here but it now it seems we can never see it in the app. It always says searching which is frustrating especially when I want to know when the bus is at the stop or made it to school.

Accurate and Helpfull

Specially during the cold, rainy days it is nice to know when bus will be arriving so the children are not out in the weather.

Tracker improvement

I wish the tracker would continue tracking when the bus is running late. It just shows a map with a start and a stop but no bus icon to track the bus. The late days are the days we as parents really need a tracker.

So good!

This is the best app I’ve every had. I love that it can find my bus for me so I can see where it is when I’m running late. I also love how I can always know when my sister gets off the bus so I can pick her up. This is the best app I’ve ever had and I hope it never goes away.

Testing App but looks fantastic.

This is the app that I was waiting for. I’ll keep using it and maybe later I will update my review.

Peace

I am at peace knowing where the bus is. It makes me feel informed.

💜

I love this app!! Cause I don’t have to be guessing if the bus will pass or not on that day!! Thank for every single notification about No School on that day👏🙏

Location errors

Sometimes the bus cannot be located

Great till it hiccups

It’s great to be able to see our students’ buses, but the app often glitches with a bus jumping miles on the map.
The bigger issue is that when the app has a problem is school district must put in a ticket. There is not a way to quickly resolve it.
A few weeks ago our district had an elementary holiday so Stopfinder turned off for the entire district: elementary middle and high school. Despite multiple tickets, the high school and middle school were never turned back on, not even seven hours later for the afternoon rush.
Unfortunately district officials can see Stopfinder, but cannot see the parent version so they never knew it was off until the calls started coming.
Today Stopfinder is turned off for the district. Again, they did not know until parents started calling and there is no way to get it turned back on other than to put in a ticket that will be resolved eventually, but not in time to help parents today…
Additionally, the Geo alerts only trigger sometimes and occasionally move around the map.. I’ve had to reset mine multiple times this year. This was not an issue last year.

Not reliable

This app sucks for the most part. Doesn’t load as quick as possible. The days school lets out early , it doesn’t provide bus location. It does not send me alerts when the bus driver is late. For an app that’s so important for parents, it needs to be changed to updated to the of the best!

Inconsistent and Unreliable

Child did not ride bus today and this app says they did. The notifications and inconsistent and unreliable.

Annoying

This app is really pointless it’s not live and the times are always wrong. As a parent it’s pretty stressful. We are in 2026 n this app/process really needs to be updated. If you need help I’m sure Mesa school district wouldn’t have a problem assisting

Driver

Love her!

No notification when bus is near

What happened to getting notifications from this app?!

Very helpful

Downfall is that the notifications regularly stop firing (despite confirming os settings, app configs, etc). Especially those tied to time notifications. Would give it 5⭐️ if notifications were persistent and reliable long-term.

No notifications

App stopped sending notifications on 10/5. I deleted and reinstalled it, but I still don’t receive notifications.

Stopfinder

Great app nice to know where the bus is and how long it’s going to be before it arrives at your stop.

Stopfinder

Send a notification bus my son

MUST HAVE FOR ALL TRANSPORTATION!!
