Not an improvement
I’ve used this app for three days now after the bus service changed to this one from their own app, and it’s worse. It’s hard to set up alert zones and notifications are delayed. Today I just got notified my sons bus entered the alert zone to tell me it’s about 5 minutes away. His bus had already picked him up. It was also late by 10 minutes but I couldn’t even tell where the bus was and was scrambling to drive him on my way to work. It looked like it hadn’t even left the bus depot. At least the last app showed the bus. It would have been helpful to know where the bus was before I sent him out to stand in the rain. Might as well not have an app if the bus Isn’t going to be connected to it.

Makes Me Question Everything
I don’t know which bus the alerts I’m getting are for and I can’t see where the buses are. I’m getting alerts for unknown buses going to places they shouldn’t be.
I know I’m doing this app wrong, but I swear I am a fairly competent human. I read the instructions. I used the last bus tracker app pretty successfully. This whole experience is surreal and makes me question everything I thought I knew.

Doesn’t Work at All
It’s been a week since the start of the school year and this trash app has never shown the bus location or any notifications at all. Not even once. Everything is set up correctly. App Admins (if they even exist) are non-responsive and do not answer any emails, feedback, or requests for help. The Durham Bus App may not have been the best, but at least it worked!

Doesn’t do what it says it does
The app looks clean and has a lot of potential. However, an app is only as good as the data it provides.
Waited at the bus stop with my daughter and pulled up the app. Her bud did not appear on it at all. Double checked the bus number was correct (it was), and still no bus.
Ended up having to take her to school.
To be clear. The bud not showing up on time is NOT the apps fault. However, not providing any information about the bus route IS on the app. If I had known the bus was late I could have dropped her off and not been late.

Not updated
This app is different everyday. Sometimes it gives a notification and sometimes it doesn’t. I rely on this too so it’s kind of disappointing.

Won’t let me see my child’s bus
My child’s school just announced that they were using this app, so I went and created an account. It won’t let me add students until I add buses to follow, but every time I go to add a bus nothing appears. The app won’t work and the help section offers nothing. Would not recommend.

Horrible App
This app is terrible. We have the correct routes given to us from the district. The district says it’s working. Yet no bus shows up or notifications at all. I have no idea why they switched to such a crappy app. It’s clearly not just us that have this issue.

Horrible app
We used to have an app that allowed me to see where our bus was at all times. Now I can’t even figure out how to get alerts or see my kids bus at all. Not at all intuitive or user friendly. Very disappointed.

Horrible
Horrible app. Does not show my children’s busses at all. I do get a random notification that their bus arrived at school but it’s definitely delayed. Reached out for support and didn’t hear a single thing back. Worst app I have downloaded
