User Reviews

Users value the core feature of tracking bus location for peace of mind, but reliability and map/notification bugs dominate feedback. Location updates and notifications are frequently inconsistent, and UI quirks like auto-zoom and constant re-centering frustrate users. A minority praise ease of use and support, but many reviews call for fixes before the app becomes dependable.

Pros

Shows bus location and helps parents track the bus, providing peace of mind.
Generally reliable relative to similar apps with improvements in updates.
Easy to use with an intuitive interface.
Helps with timing pickups and planning when to walk to the bus.
Good support from the team.

Cons

Location updates are unreliable: buses sometimes don’t show or the bus icon disappears.
Map UI frequently zooms out or re-centers, making it hard to pinpoint the bus.
Notifications are unreliable or only work when the app is open; push and audio alerts are lacking.
Setup/UX issues like inability to edit notification times, sign-up verification problems, and occasional crashes.
Settings/data don’t persist consistently and can reset when closing the app.

Slow to notify and not all options show up, edit/delete buttons do not show for me. Maybe it’s not capable either my iPhone. Not sure the reason!! I also can’t edit the times for it to notify me, and I have to be in the app to get them, I don’t get alerted by text or anything, and I can’t put in my email.

The tracker rarely works when needed. Sometimes it will work for a minute then the bus icon disappears from the map leaving the app useless.

It actually really helps my child knowing her buses near and it’s really sweet and I think you should get it because it helps your child know where her buses is and this bus company is really good
