God Awful
To be fair it’s better than the web version which borders on unusable, but the litany of issues here are too numerous to list. Why do you default parents to non emergency contacts and not eligible to pickup the child?
The app is laggy and buggy, drop downs don’t work properly and refreshing issues undoes stuff you’ve filled in.
I’m also suspicious of some of the things they try to encourage you to fill in like parents NI numbers and dates of birth- why do you need this and where is that data going?
Finally the update this evening… background updates to keep the app running smoothly. You’ve broken it. Can no longer log in and Face ID doesn’t work either… I mean, I am dreading having this as the central hub for my child’s school life currently.

Temu version of school ping
Absolutely shocking since my children’s school switched from school ping to arbor. Notifications stop working all the time, messages have no subjects and there’s no search option to track old messages. The school used to send out regular ‘pings’ on the previous app - often sending last minute reminders a day or 2 before school events. Now you have to manually search and trawl through previous notices in the arbor and the app is just so messy in navigating through the menus.
I receive carbon copy’s of generic messages due to having 2 children. A complete waste. Do not recommend but the school have looked to save money by using a cheaper version.

App is usable
But login experience is terrible.
Feels like devs never tried to login into own app.

You rarely come across apps this badly coded nowadays thankfully.
Clunky interface - tick
Date entry poor - tick
Random errors - tick
If your school gets this cheap you have my sympathy, there’s no way anyone would pay money for this in the real world
