It’s a great app

I love this app! It helps me keep track of my student, and I get a notification when the bus is near. It makes things so much easier and gives me peace of mind.

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.

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!

Needs audible notifications

Recent updates have improved reliability, but still misses notifications occasionally. Needs an audio notification so I don’t have to keep checking the app (I use an Alexa reminder to check the app). Changes/delays to the bus route should come via push notification too. Overall, it gets the job done.

Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback. We’re glad to hear the app is getting the job done and that reliability has improved. Audio notifications and push alerts are currently available, and missing notifications isn’t the experience we want for our riders. Please reach out to our support team at beaconconnect@gobeacon.com so we can help troubleshoot this and make sure notifications are working as expected. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

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.
