When it works it's fine, but sometimes it doesn't, I just know the bus is moving because the screen will flash. More often than not, I have to log out and re-enter my password, but even that is not resolving the issue anymore. The last 03 days it is still telling me I can't see visibility because the school drop off is complete, however, that's from 03 days ago. *The app still doesn't update properly. Still showing the end of a sub route from a week ago.

The concept is great, and when it's working, the experience is great, and makes sure we make the bus on time. But most days, the app tracks the wrong bus, or doesn't show the bus, or claims the bus has passed the stop. I don’t know, though, whether this is a problem with the app, or the district switching bus routes and not sending updates.

App WAS very useful & accurate in the beginning. It was a great tool to use especially on rainy days and would've been helpful on cold days such as road. But the past month or so it either does not notify at all (most often), notifies miles away from specific radius, notifies both push and email (when push only) and notifies multiply times at once. It was cool for the kids to see the bus moving and where the bus was. Now it says bus is not in service so there is no information. Please fix!

What's new

For students who use Bus Pass in the HCTB app to scan on the bus, added the option to use either a bar code or QR code for the scan.
