Awful
Why change something that isn't broken. This app is absolutely horrible. I like the original & want to stick with it. It's easier to understand & navigate. The information on each child is right there in one are so you can find it without having to go through a bunch of work to find what you need. This app needs to go not the original!!! If I could give it zero stars I would.

No Lunch Acct Balance Info - Old App Better
The old CampusPortal app was a better app.
I could access my kid’s lunch account balance information from that app. This new app doesn’t have the lunch account balances information. Our school doesn’t use this app to track grades so without the lunch account balance information it’s useless to me.
Please add back the ability to view the lunch account balance information and I'll update my review to 5 stars as it exists on the CampusPortal app!

Prefer Local UI over Responsive Webpage
This seems to be a responsive webpage instead of an actual local UI, this causes a ton of network based latency issues, which can be confusing to lower tier users. The decision to change to a responsive webpage as opposed to a UI overhaul is not welcome in my opinion. That being said, the website needs to be more mobile optimized, I suggest using bootstrap.

Like it!
I really like the new app. It is easier to navigate. Not sure what some of the low reviews are about - I think the update is great. Haven’t had any connection issues -
When it works......
If you can get the app to open, it works fine. Unlike other commenters, I don’t mind the way the new app is organized and I find the layout easier to read. Change can be hard. My issue is when I click on the app, it looks like it’s going to open, but it just goes to a blank white screen. You see the login screen briefly, then a white screen of nothing. If I open via clicking on a notification, it works fine, bUt I can’t open it from the icon. The old version was much more stable.
Spend more time testing before you release new versions. Your internal timetable is not as important as the end user experience. From the number of 1-star ratings, you have failed the end users miserably with this new version.

Work in progress
Performance is highly dependent on network connection. I’ve tried several times to use the app on cell data and it was unpredictable, so WiFi is recommended based on my experience.
UI organization could be improved. Filters would be a nice touch - it’s great to see missing assignments but it would be better to filter down to just missed assignments for talking points.
Grades - it would be nice to see a concise grade sheet in just one page and not have to scroll up and down so much. Again, many times we screenshot the activity to talk with the kids about. Having it all on one screen page is much easier to spot check.
Suggestion for news. Need an option to denote which school is sending out each notice. I have four kids at four schools and frankly... I’m never sure which notice applies to which kid.
