Peace of mind
Our school corporation started using this app approximately three years ago, when my son was a 6th grader, and it’s been such a wonderful app for this mom.
As a mom (and dad) leaving before my son gets on the bus, it allows me a small peace of mind, knowing that our son can see the bus on the map, and get notifications when the bus is near, so he can stay in the house until he needs to go outside, and get on the bus. We live out in the county, so it was unsettling to leave my son at home, standing outside to wait on the bus alone. We downloaded the app to my son’s phone as well as mine, so my son will get the notification when the bus is just down the road, we can also see where the bus is on the map, which is what my son prefers to keep tabs on where the driver is. We can set notifications as close or as far out as we want, and we have the notification on close so my son can just walk out the door.
Gone are the days of waiting at the window and watching for the bus OR standing outside in the inclement weather. The IT staff at the here comes the bus are also very helpful and respond promptly, if your app is not working correctly. We are very grateful our corporation picked up this app, it’s been a life saver for our family in terms of getting our child on the bus without us being home, and gives this mom a peace of mind that my son is safe waiting at home for the bus.

Kid saver!
This is app is Great! Before I heard about it I was sending the kids down to the end of driveway 10-15 early in the summer and 5 min early in winter so they wouldn't freeze to death but the 5 min window wasn't enough sometimes they would miss it and then I would have to drop them. Then I heard about this bus app and boy was I excited!! Now I have it timed perfect to where I let them walk down the drive(I have a 900 ft drive, cause we live in a farm in the country) and by time they get to the end the bus is pulling up- perfect! Now don't have to worry about someone snatching them(not that I worry about that where I live) but never know? Better safe than sorry and they don't freeze waiting on it! Excellent app, there's only 1 day to where it didn't work but I believe it was a setting in my phone so gets 5 stars in my book the alerts don't work or are off sometimes but I don't worry about those anyway as ling as I can see the bus in motion and know where it's at is good enough for me!
If you have kids that get on a bus YOU NEED THIS APP!

Excellent concept, and needs tweaking
The concept of this app is groundbreaking and very 21st-century. Using the GPS technology on board buses, one is able to see the exact location of the bus relative to your children at their bus stop. This is very helpful, and a great use of technology.
However, technology needs all facets to work; if any part of the chain is unable to function, it will not help you or be very informative. What I have noticed about this app is that the real time GPS tracker is excellent. However, the email and app notifications that are sent that your child has been picked up or dropped off or are seriously delayed. This needs serious tweaking if you rely on the emails or notifications and are unable to be there with them live. Consider the working parent who is at the office and waiting to hear if their child was picked up or drop off- they would be waiting for up to an hour before receiving that notification or email. If the company can tweak this, the app will be perfect.
All in all, a great partnership between school districts/parishes and software development companies. Good work guys- and please tweak it!

Lost Info= re-login/re-load to FIX!!
This app has been a godsend this entire school year! Everything was working nicely until the most recent update; all of my info (bus, school and bus stop icons) disappeared and I got a message saying the map info “wasn’t available” when I tried to adjust the notification radius. Everything was fine on the website, it was just the app that was screwy. I came here to see if anyone else was having this problem and just as I saw that it was mentioned in several other reviews, I got a Notification that my son’s bus was in the designated range. I checked the app and there were still no icons so I deleted it and immediately re-downloaded it. After I signed in, everything is working as expected! I bet if I had just logged out and logged back in, everything would have been fine too. Hopefully this can help other users and save you from unwarranted negative reviews!
Wamylay,
GPS is different from Actual bus transportation
I have three kids im school. One im kindergarten amd two im middle school. For my elementary school it work good till today. Waited at the bus stop watch the bus move around on the gps.
Did not come to our stop. We took our child to the school. Then my middle school student are waiting at the stop because I noticed that same bus didn’t even come in our neighborhood to
Pick students up is already at the middle school. I called transportation to ask what’s going on. I said my kindergartener never got picked up.
We saw the bus on the gps while at the stop but never came. After she checked her end of the GPS it said it come to our stop. While going back and fourth with the people on transportation they said their GPS was correct. I asked so your GPS with the app aren’t the same ?!!. She said it was, that it depends if the driver checked off when they came to the stop. I honestly don’t understand how this app works. Since we were actually out there on time. I need the developers to contact our district transportation to make sure they Updating the info correctly!!!

Works whenever
This app works whenever if feels like it. Instead of the developers putting out a message that they are having problems, they instead make it look like you’re doing something wrong. I could not login to this app at all this morning, this usually happens sometimes but they mislead you on their error messages. Oh and this is the second time I’ve written a review within the hour because they deleted my comment on here and magically the app started working again even though it didn’t work after deleting and reinstalling. This thing is completely unreliable, honestly we need it now in this day and age because the buses never arrive at the time they are supposed to. They are either early or 25 minutes late. The route also changes in my area because we are all spaced out and the bus doesn’t stop at other stops if they know a kid isn’t getting picked up in that area… this is only okay when this app works so we know when to get to the stop. We can’t be having outages like this when the bus routes change from day to day. Also stop covering this up and deleting my reviews or I’ll let them on the BBB website.

Bus app
I appreciate this app because i like to see when my child boards the bus & gets off the bus. The only thing i don’t like is that we’ve had plenty times when we couldn’t even see the bus on the app so we couldn’t track it and i hate when we can’t see it because that lets us know when the bus is near or when it isn’t or if it’s running behind because that way my child wouldn’t have to stand at the bus stop for too long just waiting and waiting especially if it’s cold outside. I hope they fix that because the app works best for us if we’re allowed to see/track the bus and it’s location every single time. I hate it when we have to guess what time to be at bus stop in hopes the bus comes on time or even if the bus comes at all. (We’ve had issues in the past before when the bus didn’t stop by at all and went past the stop, I’m assuming it was a sub bus driver) which is why I rely on this bus app to always be visible/able to track on the app.
Cross Angry,
Very very helpful
This app helps out so much, especially with having five children at home with their buses showing up at different times at different bus stops. It gives me the opportunity to download the app on each kids phones and they can also track where the bus is. I can also meet my children at their bus stop when they are too early or on a late bus. Only thing is when students have a specialty bus, for example my daughter school bus never shows on the bus app because she rides a specialty bus because she attends a school outside of our school zone but the school is on the same county and the same city. Also, sometimes the bus the children are on is not even the bus that shows on the app. It will show another bus. If my kids didn’t have cell phones where I can track them I would think they were on the wrong bus because of the app. You can rely on the app to much because of that. But when it is right it helps out alot.

App is not working.
This is my first school year using this app. At the beginning, it seemed to work fine. Then slowly things started breaking down. First there were no sounds with the notifications. This caused us to miss the bus several times. Then the pop-up notifications for this app on my cell phone stopped working. Now the icons showing the bus stop and school aren’t changing from red to green to let me know the kids have arrived. I can still see the movements of the bus if I keep the app open. I am using an iPhone 8. I have reset the app as well as my phone. Nothing seems to work. I have checked the notifications settings in the app as well as in my phone. All are set correctly. I have 3 children who ride 3 different busses to 3 different schools so the problem can’t be the drivers since it worked fine for the first few days of school. I have attempted to contact the developer and the website has no clickable links to allow me to fill out their “form” for support. I was excited when I had heard about this app. It is a terrific idea, however the actual app is not as user friendly as it could be and is extremely unreliable.
Treacy4,
Never works
I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled. I’ve re registered my kids for the new school year. The map is always blank. It goes to a random location 15-20 minutes from our school/home. There’s no yellow arrow or school icon on the map. When it did work (randomly) last year, it would notify me that the bus had arrived after it left the bus stop. It was only useful for the notification that the bus arrived at school. Because I have 4 kids, I received 4 text messages and 4 emails every time it decided to work and let me know the bus had arrived. I never saw a place to get only 1 notification per family/school/bus route. Today it was 23 degrees and our normal wait time of 10-15 minutes was 45 minutes by the time all parents (who’s apps didn’t work) were able to contact the transportation department of our county to find out our bus was having mechanical problems. No notice from the app at all. Yes, we started investigating the delay after about 20-30 minutes. For those who care, the bus finally arrived at our bus stop 1 hour and 35 minutes late after the parents decided to drive kids themselves.
