How to track buses in China?
Is there any app allowing to track buses and other types of public transportation (at least large cities of) mainland China, which has an English interface? I assume even if one gets Google Maps to work, they won't be showing routes and schedules.

By using modern, GPS-enabled software systems combined with hardware like a tracking device installed within buses as well as apps installed on phones of users (e.g. drivers), a \u201creal-time\u201d bus tracking system can monitor the movement of buses on a map.How do you take the bus in China?
Most regular buses cost 2 Yuan for a single ticket and 1 Yuan when paying with the Yikatong (as of Dec 28, 2014). To learn more about the Yikatong, see my post on how to get around in Beijing. Without that Public Transport card, you have to pay exact fare and put it into a box next to the driver.How to take the BUS in CHINA | 2020 | Public Transport

Answer 2
I use a WeChat mini program called ??? (as mentioned on another answer). You just enter the bus number and it shows you the real-time route information, incoming buses and estimated arrival time which is pretty accurate — in my own experience. If you do not have WeChat, you can download it from the app store.
You can also download the navigation app ????. Simply enter your destination and location, click the mode of transportation (for buses and subway, choose ??) and it will show all the available modes of transportation, route information as well as estimated arrival time. (Sometimes the ??? app does not show any incoming buses when the bus is still operating, I use the navigation app to double check.)
Unfortunately, the two apps do not have an English interface, but in my experience, their visual guides are simple to understand.
