## Bus Compass Description
Bus Compass partners with school districts to provide parents and students with the information they need to dramatically improve their school bus experience. Students no longer need to stand outside and endure excessive wait times for their bus. Parents will know when the bus is arriving, when/where their children get on/off the bus. View the actual location of the bus and spend less time at the bus stop - increasing safety and security, and limiting unhealthy exposure to inclement weather. Parents have the added benefit selecting a host of additional notifications to keep busy parents informed.

With Bus Compass, you will always be in the know!

## Bus Compass Reviews in United States

### *---- "Needs work"
I can never see when the bus is coming to pick my son up or on the way to drop him off.
-- Jess9829, 2025-12-05

### *---- "Unreliable/ they delete bad reviews"
I never see updates for my elementary student. The app is not reliable, glitchy at best, the map feature is the worst. It will show my high schoolers bus all the time, even after it drops them off and heads back to the bus depot. But never showed my other children’s bus.
-- porn on video search, 2025-10-03

### ***-- "SKSD Sept2025"
Based on previous reviews of this app, it seems like a lot of updates have been made. The school district that I use this for doesn’t require my kid to scan any kind of fob, the gps on the bus (so far) has seem to be very accurate and I like the refresh rate for the bus being every 2-4 seconds. 

The only adjustment that I would to be the most helpful, is if the notifications chimed like other apps notifications. I’m not sure if other users have had this problem, but I only SEE the notifications on my Lock Screen and banners. Even when my phone ringer is on and I get notification sounds for other things, this one seems to be the only one that I don’t get the sounds for. Which means I have to constantly be looking at my phone while getting my child ready and packed for the bus. 

If some kind of update and/or bug fix for this could happen, I would be more than happy to change to a 5 star review and even recommend to other parents in the district and bus area to re download the app.

### *---- "No notification sounds"
The tracking has been working to some extent but the notification sounds will not work. I have adjusted all my notifcations and there is no sound which defeats the purpose of having the app at all.
-- violentlyserene, 2025-09-18

### **--- "Sometimes works"
It's been frozen and won't load half the time
-- 138473750, 2025-09-16

### *---- "Almost gave me a heart attack"
This app has not been working properly. I cannot see when my child’s bus is coming on the map. Today my heart dropped in my stomach because I was waiting for my child at her bus stop and it suddenly said she was off the bus but she was not at our stop. I instantly started panicking thinking maybe she got off on the wrong stop. The bus arrived at our bus stop 2 minutes after it said she was already off the bus. This needs to be fixed ASAP. In early called the school and the police thinking my child was let off somewhere else. RIDICULOUS!
-- Mainnnnnn2025, 2025-09-05

### *---- "No notifications, no map"
The map sometimes shows the bus location but 90% of the time it doesn’t work. I was getting notifications when pick up/drop offs happen but that has now stopped working. I can open the app and check and see they’re picked up/dropped off and the time it happen but no notifications whatsoever. It was working fine at the start of the year and 3wks in and it’s broke already.
-- ZombieQueen316, 2025-08-28

### *---- "Useless!"
I can’t believe schools are recommending this! It took forever to get logged on (says network is busy), provides incomplete and inaccurate information, and the map feature has always been incorrect and mainly unavailable.
-- BretL1980, 2025-08-14

### *---- "Total garbage"
This app rarely works. It says the kids are on the bus when they aren’t, it doesn’t show the bus on the map until after it’s gone, it logs you out randomly and/or shows that you have no bus riders, and often won’t let you log back in for long periods after forced log out. It’s just generally trash and the developers should be ashamed of themselves. Their families should be ashamed of them. Their mothers should stop loving them because of how bad this app is.
-- jhnmiller84, 2025-04-17

### ***** "The best"
This app is great! It helps see where the bus, and where your child is. It also helps show where and when the buss will be at your stop. It does get better with updates
