Parent review

There is no justifiable reason for the personal info required by minors in the app’s onboarding steps. I do not want this info about my kids collected by app developers or anyone else. Further, these private details are unnecessary for the app’s functionality. Any info that might customize user experience, can be collected while allowing complete anonymity and respecting the privacy of minors.

Response from developer

Hey there, We're really sorry to hear that SchoolMate didn't meet your expectations. Regarding the personal info collected during the onboarding process: We only require a user’s name, their school name, grade, and type of school to get started. The location info, like city or state, is totally optional and can be skipped. Moreover, any data you enter into SchoolMate—from your name and location to your schedule and more—is stored right on your device. It doesn't leave your device, and will never leave your device, unless you choose to share it externally. This setup keeps your data private and secure, ensuring it's used solely for enhancing your personal experience with the app. Best regards, The SchoolMate Team

Amazing app!!!

I love this app so much,It’s very helpful allowing me to see my schedule without using the internet. Don’t listen to the bad reviews, all those features are available. 5 stars.

not a big fan

i found this app on instagram, but i am not that big of a fan. firstly, you get asked a bunch of personal info. seriously made me take a look at the privacy policy. honestly do not care at all what it says; why would you need my full name, grade, and high school? pretty disgusting. next up, i legit downloaded this on my ipad. it does not even support full screen. seriously? the adding schedule thing is fine. however, when i make assignments, it does not even let me select from classes in my schedule. what? like, what even is the use of adding my schedule then? the grade calculator gets me stuck on the screen. there is no done button or anything. the calculate button legit does nothing. overall, very weak app and i am disappointed

Bugs

I love the concept of this app, my old school had something like this and now I feel like I get it back but with more personalization. Unfortunately as it is a new app there are a few bugs that actually make it unusable. (Sucks but all can be fixed so yay!)
1. I love adding my blocks, but when i edit the block it doesn’t show what I changed afterwards. unless I click on edit and it shows how it should be. Which makes its really hard too see what I actually have that day as it stay to the original block that I created. and I can’t edit it to fix it as it says it’s correct in the editing section. (It’s not)

2. It crashes while I’m editing the blocks and it doesn't seem to save what I do. (Its hard to tell because it’s not updating my blocks)

3. If it does work (the editing of the blocks) its not showing up on the right day. (Might also just be me so not 100% on that )

I’ve only used it for a few minutes I’m not going to lie.( definitely spent longer writing this) But I see a lot of potential and maybe after a few bug fixes I’ll actually get to use it, (I love this so much I hope it gets fixes soon) also I’m an iPhone user and I’ve only used the blocks feature so far so I have no clue about anything else. I also can’t tell if the days of the week change when it’s that day because I think that would also be a great feature.

Hope this helps the developers or anyone interested in this app ✨✨ have a lovely day!
