1. 5/5Very helpful to know where the bus is.

   It’s very helpful to know where the bus is so my children dont have to wait for the bus so long esp in cold days. It tells me when it’s arriving so i can get my kids to the bus stop. The GPS tracking is actually a little 1 or 2 mins slower than the actual bus, its says its going to my bus stop but the actual bus arrived by then , if that makes sense. Thats the only problem.

2. 1/5Terribly Inconsistent

   If you’re a school system looking for a consistent system, look elsewhere. We had no problems with this system for years. The bus route did not change. All of a sudden this year, the app is not tracking the bus 90% of the time. The school system and the company (which I’m sure the company is feeding them the garbage) both say that it’s the cell signal dropping out. I get that it is possible to drop, but shouldn’t it reconnect when it comes back into service (like it always did in previous years)? It never does. It sounds like bad hardware or a bug that got introduced into the system, but they’re just saying it’s signal when, for years, it wasn’t a problem like this. They can’t convince me that cell signal has degraded that significantly in less than a year in this area. Way to try and avoid fixing your hardware or software. Terrible all around. Think of it this way. If you think this app is going to only partially work, you can’t trust it at all. Find a better service!

3. 2/5Unreliable

   When this app works it is incredibly helpful. The amount of times it lags or just doesn’t work is incredibly frustrating. When the regular bus driver is doing the bus run you get into the routine of things and the app is not as necessary. But when there is a substitute, being able to track where the bus is can mean the difference between 15-20 minutes. In one instance we were alerted that the bus was on its way 30 minutes before the normal alert time. Thankfully I could actually see that the bus was still at the bus lot on the map and didn’t have to rush my child out the door. Just this morning the app froze up again. I closed and reopened it several times. Then I got a message saying now I don’t have access.

4. 3/5Great app when it works

   This app is really helpful when it works. Our school district started using it this year. We don’t have to wait in the cold anymore. However with a caveat! Often times when it’s cloudy, all we see is Waiting for GPS’ and we have no way to know where the bus is. In Pittsburgh, majority of the days, it will be either cloudy or raining. If the device on the bus is not communicating with GPS the driver needs to be notified. Atleast he should be able to set the location of the bus manually and display that location as text or push a notification in the app.

5. 2/5What happened?

   This app used to be great! Was accurate and you could easily tell where the bus was on its route. Now everyday I have to scroll between the Am and Pm and different routes to find where the bus is. Most days as she’s running the high school am route it shows her on the elementary school am route. Also the gps jumps all over the place. One second she’s on a road, then it jumpy to a different road, then jumps again. Never saw this issue in the prior 2yrs of using this app, suddenly started about 2-3weeks ago. Phone is updated, app is updated, and bus service says their stuff is updated and it “must be the app”.
