Heck they should make it 1 star maybe even 0 if it’s possible. Delete this trash app, apple. Thank You. ### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible *2021-12-07, version 5.6.11000* I hate school ### 1/5 — No *2021-08-23, version 5.6.11000* Bogos binted ### 1/5 — Bob *2021-05-28, version 5.6.11000* ., ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iOS 14.2 *2020-11-30, version 5.2.100* Since upgrading to iOS 14.2, this app no longer works (crashes immediately when trying to open). Is there an update planned? ### 1/5 — not a good system *2020-08-22, version 5.2.100* very laggy and poor service and i do not appreciate this kind of service especially when i have to use this for school ### 1/5 — Login issues *2020-08-12, version 5.2.100* I can’t log in. When I try it keeps saying my password is wrong or they can’t find my username but when I log in online everything is there ### 1/5 — Very harmful. (Great for homophobic ppl 😁) *2020-08-11, version 5.2.100* When I first used this app it started bitting me FOR NO REASON!!! And you know what’s worse? The AUDACITY the app has to not even put on a MASK!!!! I could of had CORONA. This was very disrespectful and UNACCEPTABLE!!! Ugh the audacity this app has. ### 1/5 — Trash *2020-08-11, version 5.2.100* Trash ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-07-20, version 5.2.100* This site is not user friendly, and when you call for help after being on hold for a certain length of time it hangs up on you. When you ask school administrators what to do they tell you to call and when you call you get hung up on. Terrible!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer working on newer iPhones (iOS 17.0) *2023-09-27* I just switched to iPhone 15, from iPhone 11, and the app no longer works. ### 1/5 — Where did it go? *2023-09-14* I have nothing in this app but the pictures on top of the app screen that scroll. I did recently upgrade my phone but this didn’t start until after the recent iOS update. The app is useless to me now. Which is very inconvenient considering I can’t use a work computer to access Focus while at work. Which is usually when I need to look for latest updates, test scores, & grades for my children. ### 1/5 — App quit working properly many months ago *2023-08-31* App no longer works on my iPhone 14. Only see a picture at the top of the screen and nothing else. ### 1/5 — Where did the App go? *2023-08-27* This used to be such a full resource App. It hasn’t worked for three months. We are into a new school year. I’m disappointed that our tax dollars are not being used to full benefit. ### 1/5 — DCPS App not working *2023-08-24* App is blank on iPhone. Called the school and was told working fine. Has not worked for me since end of ‘23 school year. Was convenient when worked. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for iPhone *2023-08-23* No longer works on my iPhone. The top stories is visible but there is no navigation. App area is blank. I tested the app on my iPad and it DOES show the apps so programming needs to be reviewed/adjusted. ### 1/5 — No Longer Works *2023-08-13* I switched to an iPhone and this so no longer works for me singer I downloaded it to my new phone. I can only see top stories. I try to select the arrow and it does nothing. Same issue on my daughters iPhone. Please update. ### 1/5 — Blank screen *2023-08-09* Unable to see all information. ### 1/5 — No access *2023-08-09* I can no longer access information. I only see “top stories” with no options to navigate the app. ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-07-30* Whenever I try to log in to see my schedule it don’t work 🤦 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Michael Rah *2022-08-16, version 5.6.20000* Y’all trippin ### 5/5 — Great Info on county schools. *2017-08-18, version 5.2.100* Love this app. My Grandson started Kindergarten this year and the app helps me connect with his school. Love how notices will be in the app for school early closings or info about the upcoming eclipse. Very useful, love having the info I need just a click away. ### 5/5 — Perfect App! *2016-11-07, version 5.0.300* As a senior student at ACHS (Atlantic Coast High School), I was hoping that there would be a app for my phone that would allow me to connect to duavl's website to access my focus, achieve3000, contacting my teachers, etc. And was pretty much stoked when I found it. Anyways this pretty much does everything that I needed to do, and I don't have to access to my computer anymore but just pull out my phone and do whatever. 5/5 👍🏻! ### 5/5 — One thing *2016-09-15, version 5.0.100* Great app makes it easy to see my grades but I hate that there's no remember me button for focus login ### 4/5 — Great resource for parents *2018-03-07, version 5.2.100* This is a great app, and allowing the option to opt into difference a school calendars is a plus. I would give this app 5 stars if there was a way to enable push notifications for reminders day before/day of of early release and planning days. ### 3/5 — What happened? *2023-10-13* Iv used this app for years and has been great until I got new phone, on this phone it only gives me the top half of screen and none of the important things I need. I have deleted and redownloaded countless times but nothing helps. ### 3/5 — Useful but still needs a little work *2020-05-30, version 5.2.100* Should be able to save password or have face recognition enabled to login to Focus account. Push notifications should also be enabled for reminders. ### 3/5 — Log on issues *2019-07-31, version 5.2.100* It’s nice to have the calendar as a quick reference but can’t log into acct. I can log into my Focus acct but the app is not letting me log into my acct ### 3/5 — It's okay *2016-11-14, version 5.0.300* The features on the app are not very broad. For example, the app description says you can check your grades, but all it is, is a link to focus in your web browser, however, it is useful because now I don't have to keep going to the DCPS website to find focus or have to locate a computer. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t load *2024-05-11* Multiple times I have used this it does not load and has even blocked me from the app using my computer. Only works sometimes. Usually hav to restart my laptop. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
