### 2/5 — Poor design

*2025-11-13*

It took me months to figure out how to add a second student because a somewhat useless dialogue box on the bottom blocks the “add” icon and it’s not clear that there’s an option to swipe it away to reveal the button underneath. Similarly, there’s a dialogue box that pops up over the “Save” button on other screens. Non existent customer service too.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-08-28*

I don’t understand why the school district have selected this app. It’s been more than a week I registered and I don’t see it working for one time. Not able to add bus and student waste of time and efforts

### 1/5 — Hasn’t worked for us once

*2024-10-11*

I don’t quite know what the problem is with this app. It hasn’t worked for us once meaning the gps location of the bus rarely changes and/or updates. I called the schools admin office and they even view the app and program as a giant joke and waste of money.

### 1/5 — It never works and worse development team, it seems fools develop this app not engineers

*2024-01-17*

Never trust this app, this app is not even a joke but also gives you false delay notifications.

It is a simple GPS app how can they not make it right

### 2/5 — Good when it’s working but…

*2024-01-12*

Half the time it doesn’t work. It never works on early dismissals. 
So it’s just sometimes helpful.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-11-06*

Where’s my kid? Don’t know because this app worked only for 2 days!

### 1/5 — Never can get it to work

*2023-08-24*

Last year the app just never tracked the bus. This year I can't even get it to let me choose a bus to track. There are no FAQs.

### 1/5 — Don’t let your district waste their money on this

*2023-02-08*

I like the idea behind this app However, it’s consistently not working. It took me a  while to set it up on my phone & I couldn’t get it to work the first day. Logging in the second day it appeared to be working. Worked for a few weeks and stopped working, again and again. The inconsistency in this app is the main problem, I also find it less easier to use. Simple is much better when it comes to parents. Our district is using this app for the year. I hope they return back to “Here Comes the Bus” as that app is much more consistent and easier to use.
