### 1/5 — Can’t add children

*2026-08-18, version 9.9*

One child in primary 2nd child in 6th year has now been removed off it and can’t receive emails from the school as they go to the Eduspot they need to have a but were you can add ur own child school details

### 1/5 — Changes

*2026-08-15, version 9.9*

There’s not an option to change my last name as it was wrong from the moment this app was loaded!!!

### 5/5 — School

*2026-07-14, version 9.7*

Very useful easy to use

### 3/5 — Okay

*2026-07-07, version 9.7*

This is great… in theory. I can’t get notifications on my app at all. I have tried everything from checking settings to uninstalling the app and reloading. Nothing works. I don’t always remember to check the app unless I know there is something to check. I have missed letters because of this. Having said that, the layout is fine and, in principle, it’s a great idea.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Load

*2026-06-30, version 9.7*

This app is good when it loads. It is completely useless at times as it doesn’t load. You press the refresh button and all you get is the white page with nothing else. Needs an update BADLY! Until then this app is at times unusable!

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-06-29, version 9.7*

This app is not fit for purpose. For many months now I’ll get notifications of messages from the school and they simply do not load. I have to keep closing the app, reloading it and sometimes the message will never load. It’s really frustrating. I am always updating the app in the hopes that the bug may be fixed but it never is. I don’t recommend

### 2/5 — Soooo slow

*2026-06-29, version 9.7*

I’m constantly checking to see if there are any updates for this app as it is ridiculously slow to load, and clunky to use.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-23, version 9.6*

Keeps you up to date

### 5/5 — Good communication channel

*2026-05-12, version 9.5*

Good communication channel for parents about their wards in school

### 1/5 — Omg

*2026-04-23, version 9.5*

What is it with this app?? You open all the notifications and delete what you can delete.  The red notification disappears but then appears again and there is nothing new to read.  It’s very helpful tho but this needs fixed…
