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.

Glitchy but gets the job done

The main purpose, to see where the bus is and how soon it will be here, works great. That’s the important thing. However, it’s a bit annoying that it has you set a home zone only to have the map center on a spot nowhere near my set home zone. And worse, I move it to my home area, only to have it recenter every time the bus moves. And naturally it’s also not centering anywhere near where the bus is either. Makes no sense and is really annoying. But at least it works for the main goal.

Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear the main feature—tracking the bus and its arrival time—is working well for you. We understand how frustrating it can be when the map doesn’t stay centered where you expect.We’re actively working on improving this experience. In an upcoming update, we’ll make sure zooming and centering behave more intuitively, so your home, school, or custom locations remain clearly marked and the map stays focused where you want it.If you have any additional feedback or suggestions, please email us at beaconconnect@gobeacon.com. Your input helps us make the app better for everyone!

Great in concept, not so great in execution

App crashes whenever I try to update my zones. Notifications rarely come through despite correct configuration. If an earlier bus for high school has the same ID as the later bus for your elementary school kids, the alerts, when they work, end up triggering for the earlier bus but don't reset for the later bus. A little TLC and this app would be pretty amazing.
