United StatesBus Compass partners with school districts to provide parents and students with the information they need to dramatically improve their school bus experience. Students no longer need to stand outside and endure excessive wait times for their bus. Parents will know when the bus is arriving, when/where their children get on/off the bus. View the actual location of the bus and spend less time at the bus stop - increasing safety and security, and limiting unhealthy exposure to inclement weather. Parents have the added benefit selecting a host of additional notifications to keep busy parents informed. With Bus Compass, you will always be in the know!
No notifications
As I work from home, I relied on this providing updates to confirm I’m available to pick up my young child. I can no longer count on this and now rely on calendar updates. Was nice when it was actually working.
United StatesUsed to be pretty good
I think the last update messed up more than it fixed. Last school year, I got notifications. So far this school year, since August, I don't get any notifications. Total bummer.
United StatesWhere did the notifications go?
When it works, it’s fine. But many times we’ve gotten notifications that our son was dropped off at school before we got the notification that he was picked up. Our biggest complaint, however, is that the notifications just disappear after reading. Why can’t the notifications for the last 24 hours be posted under a tab in the app titled (get ready for this) “Notifications”? This would be especially helpful for when they change his bus number. Good idea, needs some work.
United StatesUnreliable. Complete trash.
Doesn’t work more than it does. Logs me out constantly and then keeps telling me “something went wrong” and won’t let me log back in. It’s not even possible to report the issues to the developer. I’m deleting this terrible app.
United StatesSuper inconsistent
This is a great idea, and when it’s working at 100% I love it, unfortunately it very rarely is 100% working. The map has been broken for a couple of weeks now, and the alerts are very unreliable. There is no end user support that I can find.
United StatesInconsistent
The app is inconsistent on sending alerts. One phone will get alerts that the bus is 2 stops away and another phone will get no alerts. The tracking is off on locations of the bus. It’s a great thought but there are several improvements that still need to be made in order to put trust into this app.
United StatesThe worst
I really don’t get the purpose of this app because it does not do what it’s intended for. It does not give notifications when the bus is moving, or when it’s close to the stop. The map only works about 10% of the time, so I can’t even track the bus that way. It’s not “cellular data or gps” signal being lost because I live in a full coverage area. There really is no point in this app if it does not work properly!!
