wow

honestly this is fire 🔥

A steaming pile of garbage.

If I could score a 0, I would. This is truely one of the worst apps I have interacted with, and unfortunately am forced to use. Little to no thought has been been to user experience. It pains me to know that somewhere, someone was paid a sum of money to deliver this steaming pile of garbage. Worse yet, there is appears to be no desire to change it, despite the consistent, appalling scores and reviews

I have never written an app review ever, but felt compelled to on this occasion. For any parents out there who are forced to use this because you have a child in school - You deserve better. Brace yourself.

Not fit for purpose

Can’t handle multiple students in different schools.
Please NZ schools: don’t use this app!

Ugly

One of the ugliest and least intuitive apps I have ever used. What a shame schools settle for something like this.

un intuitative

How disappointing when looking for ways to encourage parents to keep connected with kids that schools use this.
Kids miss out when parents aren’t involved. Having an APP that works matters for our kiwi kids. ☹️

Worse app I’ve been forced to use

It may be ‘free’ but it will cost you in frustration, time, annoyance and pain. Forced to use this by a school. Unreliable, grim ux. Just rubbish. Whoever developed this should be ashamed of themselves.

Absolute rubbish

Constantly logs me out. Very frustrating

Hmmm

Same experience as the below user. Keeps logging me out, then when you request a new password everything freezes. Also don’t seem to get the notifications, even though I’ve “ticked” the notifications settings within the app. So far not a great tool for the parent user.

Terrible UX & authentication

I wonder if this company ever does user testing with actual caregivers? I truly hope they do for teachers because there must be some reason schools are signing up for a substandard user experience. The authentication is horrific and must cause headaches for the administrators in schools. Why does it automatically log you out? Why does it require a 12 numbers with / userid? Why does the password reminder not work? Don’t get me started on how it looks & works once you actually make it into the app. School staff & caregivers deserve better. Start designing for your customers.

Extremely frustrating - good when works

Constantly logs me out, then when I sign in I often have to get sent a new password. But the app freezes on the screen that advises that you will be sent a new password so the only way to enter user ID and new password is to delete app and download again. Quite ridiculous.
When it works it seems to work well enough directing to the various pages.
