Here Comes the Bus for Android

This app is a lifesaver. It’s always right on the money. Let’s you know down to the minute when the bus will arrive

This app helps out so much, especially with having five children at home with their buses showing up at different times at different bus stops. It gives me the opportunity to download the app on each kids phones and they can also track where the bus is. I can also meet my children at their bus stop when they are too early or on a late bus. Only thing is when students have a specialty bus, for example my daughter school bus never shows on the bus app because she rides a specialty bus because she attends a school outside of our school zone but the school is on the same county and the same city. Also, sometimes the bus the children are on is not even the bus that shows on the app. It will show another bus. If my kids didn’t have cell phones where I can track them I would think they were on the wrong bus because of the app. You can rely on the app to much because of that. But when it is right it helps out alot.

I have been using this app for years. Since day one it has been giving the same issues. It’s either bus isn’t showing up at all on the app but I still get the notification that it just came in the radius I set it too, it’s badly delayed like it’ll same the bus is 10 streets away and next thing you it it’s actually 1 street away from the bus stop. These glitches need to fixed. Besides those issues the rest of the time it’s working properly. I feel as though if the bus was because tracked/ moving like a regular gps then it would be more accurate.

This app works whenever if feels like it. Instead of the developers putting out a message that they are having problems, they instead make it look like you’re doing something wrong. I could not login to this app at all this morning, this usually happens sometimes but they mislead you on their error messages. Oh and this is the second time I’ve written a review within the hour because they deleted my comment on here and magically the app started working again even though it didn’t work after deleting and reinstalling. This thing is completely unreliable, honestly we need it now in this day and age because the buses never arrive at the time they are supposed to. They are either early or 25 minutes late. The route also changes in my area because we are all spaced out and the bus doesn’t stop at other stops if they know a kid isn’t getting picked up in that area… this is only okay when this app works so we know when to get to the stop. We can’t be having outages like this when the bus routes change from day to day. Also stop covering this up and deleting my reviews or I’ll let them on the BBB website.

Update. The app support link links to Synovia but the support page is not found. No support for you ! Update. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I guess just another day we are not able to track the bus. Update. I guess it is on the school but one child gets tracking and the other mostly does not. And today at 8:50 I received the alert that the bus entered the area at 7:02 Another day another false alert. School not even over and the kid’ll be home momentarily. Really ? Another day another false alert. School has not even ended and I am getting an alert my student will be home momentarily. And yes I have set the alert notification radius to almost zero. And now it has alerted, well I am not going to get another one until the next route tomorrow. Who knows if there is a problem with the bus. Back to the old days and just hope and pray my child gets home. The twisty route our bus takes has the bus entering the geofencing well before it is actually anywhere near us, like today in the afternoon when it was on the way back to the school after some run, before school was even let out. And if you set it for the last minute the bus is 30 seconds out and a 4 minute walk from the house. Nice idea. Could use some refinement.
