Login button doesn’t work afterwards. ### 1/5 — Logging in *2026-09-06, version 1.0.15* The app was already really laggy but now the app refuses to let me log back in. Now I am unable to look at my lessons or any room changes. This needs to be fixed. ### 1/5 — Wasting my time. *2026-09-05, version 1.0.15* It says there is an error and it says I have to log out. I log back in and still says it. I take it to school IT to sort it out and then works. But after a couple of days it stops working again. I have to go during MY break time to sort it. It happens to my school friends a lot. Now, I do not want an AI response to answer this. I want an actual person please. ### 1/5 — doesn’t work *2026-09-05, version 1.0.15* app isn’t that good is lit 1 star uhmm ### 1/5 — Never works *2026-09-04, version 1.0.15* This app fails 80% of the time and currently will not show my schedule even when everyone else can see there’s it is useless and even when it works it breaks within two days when it works it’s great but it never does so it is pointless and just takes up storage for nothing ### 1/5 — Works just as well as using a cactus as a dildo *2026-09-04, version 1.0.15* Tell me why when I try to log in whilst using the CORRECT PASSWORD your poor excuse of an app doesn’t let me log in. I would have an easier time logging into Elon musk’s bank details. Resetting my password doesn’t even work because you imbiciles don’t even recognise a password I made a second ago. Please consider hiring actual coders the next time you make an app. ### 1/5 — my password is correct mate *2026-09-04, version 1.0.15* when i try to login it says my password is wrong, when i try to reset my password it says the link is expired. a gcse computer science student would code a better app ### 1/5 — I died *2026-09-04, version 1.0.15* It was so terrible actually don’t say that I’m so bad at English ### 1/5 — Honestly 😤 *2026-09-03, version 1.0.15* I literally can't sign in and I am still trying to work it but please fix this bug because I have literally put the right password and the right email in and it just keeps saying incorrect password or email and it is just annoying me so bad like I can't describe it ### 1/5 — Arbor…. *2026-09-03, version 1.0.15* As another reviewer has quite eloquently put it, I would rather walk into oncoming traffic than use arbor again. Edulink, my beloved, take me back. ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2026-09-03, version 1.0.15* My name is luca dino ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2026-09-03, version 1.0.15* Made by mossad agents ### 1/5 — Impossible to login *2026-09-02, version 1.0.15* Won’t accept my login details. Pressed forgot password - got no email to change it despite the app claiming I did. ### 1/5 — Horrid *2026-09-02, version 1.0.15* Why couldn’t they just stick with class charts? This is horrible, so hard to manage, and barely helps students like me. I have over 100 unsubmitted assignments that I’ve done and it won’t let you submit it for one dumb reason. (This is not the main issue) the issue is it’s just hard to use and a drag to login everytime. They still won’t change it even when many people complain. Bless x ### 1/5 — absolutely horrendous *2026-09-02, version 1.0.15* hate this app ### 1/5 — Shocking app *2026-09-02, version 1.0.15* It is absolutely useless to be honest impossible to log in and you would need to be a rocket scientist to figure out how to use it ### 1/5 — This app is garbage *2026-09-02, version 1.0.15* I HATE THIS APP WITH EVERY SINGLE BONE IN MY BODY. Many of my relatives, friends and siblings agree that is app is extremely underdeveloped and utterly ridiculous. It won’t even let me accept the MIS terms and conditions for the app, which means I am locked out of the app and I cannot see my timetable for school. Do not use this app for your school. It simply is a cheap, money grabbing scam. DO NOT USE. ### 1/5 — Nothing but problems *2026-09-02, version 1.0.15* My school had been previously using EduLink but moved to arbor. Since the switch close to all of the students have been unable to hand in assignments or log in. This app is nothing more than a mediocre attempt that even a student , from one of the many schools who have been suffering through the years with this, could build in a week or two for a project. A massive disappointment that has led to so many complications for everyone who uses this app. At the time that I’m writing this my school is at the 3rd time that arbor has locked out everyone. Some people haven’t been able to access the app for just over a year now . A massive disappointment and I hope that they can get their act together and do something useful. ### 1/5 — I’d rather be teared into 1 million shreds and casted into Tartarus than use this app. *2026-09-02, version 1.0.15* The Arbor Student App is honestly the worst app to ever exist on the App Store. It literally gaslights you. It will tell you that you have school on a SATURDAY. Like sorry Arbor, I am NOT coming in on a Saturday to do maths, I have a life. Half the information on it is just straight-up wrong, it's like it makes up its own version of reality and expects you to just go along with it. And the best part? You CAN'T EVEN SUBMIT HOMEWORK ON IT. What is the point of a school app where you can't do the one thing you actually need to do? So now I have like 647 tasks I haven’t apparently done; from 3 years ago just sitting there staring at me, all marked as OVERDUE in big red letters, giving me anxiety at 11pm. I've done everything by humanly possible but according to Arbor I apparently haven't done any work since Year 9. It doesn't help you stay organised, it just makes you feel like a failure. Delete the whole app and start again because this app is so genuinely unusable that even God himself can’t use it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s an app *2026-09-09, version 1.0.15* This app is so bad that the App Store should completely scrap the app from existence and then sue the company for 10 trillion pounds then throw the owner into ongoing traffic and then go to the headquarters and turn it into a flat and sell it to Hitler. If arbor and Hitler were in a room I’d shoot arbor twice. If arbor Hitler and bin Ladin were in a room and I had t2 bullets I’d shoot arbor twice arbor is the worst app in existence ### 1/5 — The app is terrible *2026-09-09, version 1.0.15* The app wouldn’t log me just before I got to school this is absolute madness I used the right email and password ### 1/5 — Worst school app *2026-09-08, version 1.0.15* My school switched from Class Charts to Arbor last year and all the students, parents or guardians and even some teachers hate it. It’s confusing to work with sometimes not being able to submit homework. Not to mention that it never lets you log in easily. You want to log in? Just delete and re-download it; even then it’s not guaranteed to work then. Useless and a waste of a new system. ### 1/5 — Istg what’s the point in ts. *2026-09-08, version 1.0.15* I try logging in because my school changed from edulink to arbor. But it keeps saying that apparently it isn’t enabled, keep in mind IT IS. And when I go to find help, there is nothing about it. What’s the point in looking for help if you don’t even have help for the errors you’ve added? Omd. ### 1/5 — Tf is this?? *2026-09-08, version 1.0.15* I know I entered in my password correctly for a half an hour and it keeps telling me it’s wrong no typos no nothing it’s just that one of the two don’t match?? I think I would know my login details that I’ve had for three years and a almost recent update on a password ### 1/5 — Bring back back class charts *2026-09-08, version 1.0.15* Buns ### 1/5 — Absolute joke *2026-09-08, version 1.0.15* The app won’t even let me login to my school account I literally had the IT department redo a password and it still won’t let me log in 3 months later so it couldn’t have been a bug just a bloody joke ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-09-07, version 1.0.15* This bloody app is the worst thing brought onto the poor face of this hell we call earth. Using this pains my soul in a way so unique it makes fire look peaceful. Never in my life would I recommend this “service” to ANYONE. ### 1/5 — Rubbish app never works *2026-09-07, version 1.0.15* Bad app doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Waste of electricity *2026-09-07, version 1.0.15* Nothing works in this god forsaken app istg i cant sunmit homework, showing i have school on bank holidays AND some sundays??? cant even check my housepoints, just dont download this waste you might aswel print a paper timetable because thats all this app can function ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s terrible but It needs to be seen *2026-09-06, version 1.0.15* So basically im tryna log into arbor and im putting in exactly the correct password and email and it’s won’t let me in ### 5/5 — Arbor is the best!! *2026-09-01, version 1.0.15* For me arbor is the best except when we have an unexpected update then it takes FOREVER to load properly but arbor tells me all my classes and where and what teacher! It shows me how many negatives and positives I have. Arbor is so good definitely get ! ### 5/5 — really bad *2026-09-01, version 1.0.15* It randomly signed me out one day and won’t let me sign back in . I have no clue of my new timetable because it’s impossible to view. It also doesn’t connect to sparx properly. I think schools shouldn’t use this app at all. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-03, version 1.0.12* It worked 1 time very good app ### 5/5 — The reason god hates us *2026-06-18, version 1.0.8* I every one on earth didn’t sin this app still would’ve killed Jesus Christ. I would rather be skinned alive with needles and glass in my skin while in a boiling pot of lime and lemon juice than use this app again. If it ment I became a terrorist to stop this app being created I would. I would be a suicide pilot to get rid off this app. I wonder how less dystopian this would would be if this didn’t exist. One star is not enough to say the amount of pure HATE I feel for this app. ### 5/5 — Boring *2026-05-23* No one likes homework but this just makes it worse: •On half of my homework it won’t let me submit them so I now have over 50 overdue assignments •It doesn’t connect as whenever I submit a homework and then go on arbor on my laptop it still says the homework isn’t done •It tells me every day that I need to change my passcode when I did it literally every day for the past month so wastes so much of my time and stops me logging in I don’t in know why schools use this it is absolutely useless and I would not suggest down loading it at all. Very Disappointed :( Look forward to hearing the AI response to my review that will probably read: Hi Luke, We are sorry to hear of your displeasure at our app but we are working hard to fix the bugs and constantly improve it and hope you will change your mind…. It’s literally the same every time :( ### 5/5 — what the sigma *2025-03-17, version 1.0.5* how sigma ### 5/5 — Nice designs *2025-03-05, version 1.0.5* The designs are much nicer than the old one, very good animation and easy to navigate ### 5/5 — Rubbish *2025-02-06, version 1.0.4* Terrible ### 5/5 — Amazeballs *2024-10-18* So much better than the website you ungrateful fatties --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
