Versatrans My Stop 4+

I used this app at our school we just moved from and it was helpful when it worked, now at our new school we use it too, but it doesn’t tell estimated time of arrival and never updates when open, I have to close it out or get it to load by switching from tabs. Otherwise the bus stays in one spot forever then is way behind on showing where it actually is. I always wondered what “scans” were so today I looked on the App Store and found it’s something I would love IF actually worked! I’ve never had it load scans at either school. I will say although annoying to have to make it update every couple mins manually, I like having it in winter but truly wish it did what it said it would do. But I’ve been using it 3 years and seen all the complaints so it seems they (developer) have no plans to fix or change anything as it’s been the same and the same complaints with no changes. Why our schools don’t get a better and WORKING app is beyond me.

I have mixed feelings with this. I like the idea of it, but it’s often not that helpful. First off the tracking doesn’t seem right. So often it tells us the bus is still 10 mins away then 2 mins later the bus is here. I feel like it more likely to have kids miss the bus then make the bus on time.

2nd why is there not a feature to have multiple kids saved within one parent email. I have to log each out and in every time I would like to see their bus. And I don’t have each kids student id memorize.

The app work decently for the first week or so of having it. Afterwards it tells you the expected bus arrival time (the time your bus is SUPPOSED to be there) and tells you how late your bus is running but only AFTER the time your expected bus arrival time has passed before the app eventually commits suicide and gives up on any hope of being of use to to you. By this I mean that it will only sit there lying to you telling you that your bus is on time so that you leave your house and stand outside for 20 minutes only to realize that your bus is NOT running on time and that you had enough time to brush your hair and wear sneakers or finish your 30 question chemistry assignment before leaving the house. If you’re looking for an app that’s the perfect representation of 15 minutes of fame, have your way at it. Afterwards, spare your phone the useless storage and delete it or risk developing high blood pressure from how many times you get angry at the app in the early morning or hypothermia from standing outside in the cold for way to long for no reason.
