Huge help in prepping kids for school bus. I don't rush my kid in the morning as i know when the bus is near our place. one issue i see is the transmitter on bus seems not reachable occassionslly and app would not show updates. Another one is i would love to turn off audio announcement especially in afternoon as my kids go to daycare.
