Zonar MyView

We’ve been using this app for yrs. When it works it’s very helpful but often it doesn’t track buses. 2 of my buses were not tracking until 7am for 2 yrs. They finally started after contacting support again. The notifications can be a bit annoying. They tell you yr bus has entered a zone but do not tell which bus. I track 3 and they go through the same zones. It would be nice if they would add which bus has gone through which zone. The bus badge system scanning is hit or miss. This yr so far it’s hit. Unfortunately one of my children has lost their badge and it seems they no longer issue them every yr. No idea where to get a replacement.

It has been 3 years the school my son attends has used this app. It’s great when it works, but it constantly has problems. They don’t answer help questions and the school says to contact the app so nothing gets solved. The school says they have a rep, but doesn’t seem like they get much help? If the app developers don’t answer help tickets how can they make the app work? If the issues is student safety and the schools are paying this app money to help with that and it doesn’t work? I am starting a petition for my sons school to search elsewhere for an app that cares about kids safety. Technology isn’t perfect, but when the company doesn’t respond it shows their intentions.

This app has helped me have my daughter ready for the bus in the am and me ready to stop work and go out and get her in the pm. You can set different zones so when the bus hits that zone you are notified. I have a “Get shoes on!” Zone which gives us about 8 minutes to get shoes, coat and backpack on. The next zone is “Bus is here” when it is coming around the corner so we have enough time to walk out. In the afternoon I set the zone when the bus is about 5 minutes away so I can get things settled at my desk and walk out to get her. Only thing I would to see improve is the load/refresh time otherwise it would be 5 stars.
