BusZone 4+

Some times the bus doesn’t seem to move even when refreshing the app again and again and we are clueless where bus reached

This app is used by my child’s school transportation company. It was easy to download, easy to start an account, easy to get connected to the bus route my kiddo is assigned to, easy to set up my zone to get alerts. That’s where the good stuff stops. Sometimes the app sends notifications of bus location, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it send a notification of the bus arriving/departing the school and sometimes it doesn’t. The whole purpose of this app is to assist in the location of a child, especially in the time of a crisis or emergency…… this app is a waste if it cannot work properly when their is no crisis or emergency. Please patch the failures of the current coding.

I’ve used this app for three days now after the bus service changed to this one from their own app, and it’s worse. It’s hard to set up alert zones and notifications are delayed. Today I just got notified my sons bus entered the alert zone to tell me it’s about 5 minutes away. His bus had already picked him up. It was also late by 10 minutes but I couldn’t even tell where the bus was and was scrambling to drive him on my way to work. It looked like it hadn’t even left the bus depot. At least the last app showed the bus. It would have been helpful to know where the bus was before I sent him out to stand in the rain. Might as well not have an app if the bus Isn’t going to be connected to it.
