Here Comes the Bus! What a great app! It lets me know where the bus is with my child. It tells me when it has entered my stop radius. And I can even see if it has arrived or left the school on time. I really am glad to have this.

Having this app saves me a lot of time. We have a very long driveway which is where the bus stops. By using this app I know exactly when I need to be at the stop.

Doesn't show bus till too late or send notifications till after bus arrives, I have the latest edition samsung android. Yes I've adjusted the notification ratio around our location.

Incredibly glitchy and rarely accurate. This is not a reliable way to track when your kids are dropped off
★☆☆☆☆Cheryl Frebault Binns· May 13, 2026
As in past reviews of the last month, the update is bad. Just now I was notified the bus was in the area when it was outside my house. Also didn't get the email notification I always get either. This app is putting kids at risk of not getting to school or no one being there when they arrive home. I am livid you haven't fixed the problems people have been complaining about for the month and some even longer.
