Too many errors

All the time I try logging in they say there was a error logging me in

Terrible support

I cannot return to homepage after opening any document or attachment without having to close the app completely and reopen it. Tried to contact tech support and got told they don’t deal with parents!!!!!

Cannot log in

Cannot log in as it is not accepting the schools name. It is asking for the school ID which I don’t have a there is no drop down screen to search for it. Useless apps

No longer works at all

Stopped working recently - error E08. Engage now directs to add a Safari shortcut to the clunky web based portal to Home Screen to access the Engage “App” (not an app at all). No mention anywhere in their documentation of this app so guessing they withdrew it but forgot to tell anyone.

Unnecessarily Complicated

Information has to be scouted for and not in obvious place . It’s Extremely time consuming. Also takes long to download information and there is no search option to make looking for info quick and convenient. You could spend 2hrs to locate information and still not remember where and how you actually got to it . It opens up to google drive and google docs and the cover page documents have no hyperlinks.so you have to read through at least a 13 page document to get gain your info. It’s not always accurate . The wrong links get opened. The info is hidden in a maze underneath another maze which is on top of a different maze, this system gives me anxiety each time I have to open it…most frustrating. Or is it just the school that we have underutilising the apps ability and creating the difficulties we parents are experiencing. There’s a community of us that are struggling .

Horrible app

Extremely slow and doesn’t load most of the time, there has been no update for more than 2 years.

Developer team or anyone who is reading this, please do something about it if not don’t bother listing the iOS app here at all because it just doesn’t work!

It’s very bad app , very slow, can’t delete lots of emails easily, I need to open every single email and then delete it. Very poor app needs lots of work to improve.

I am still not able to log in using my school email as my school ID

I’m just gonna use the website.

Sri Kdu uses it

Yes yesss yes if I could rate it 100 zigzaggillliom stars I would!

I love this app so much

I can login

C- can do better. Poor user experience.

The mobile app is slow and lacks functionality, my biggest annoyance is dealing with the emails, why can’t I mark as read on mass?

Many functions then direct you to the web site which in not optimised for mobile. Again handling emails is a pain. Making holiday clubs bookings is equally painful. Even using my PC dragging each option across is annoying, not being able to see which days have what without having to click through, which takes too long.

This app is very bad

It has many glithces and wont allow me to log in

Terrible app

This school app is rubbish, confusing and quite limited in what it does. It does not work on mobile devices. My daughters’ school is currently looking to shift away from this as it has not worked. Parents (like me) are frustrated and hate using it. I have heard that Barker (Hornsby) is taking legal action against the developers for failing to live up to their promises.
Can’t wait until I no longer have to use it.

Worst experience

Not if any use

The worst app I have ever used

Utter useless; slow and relying on the companies website rather than being mobile or app optimised. Repeated error code (E09) when trying to launch the app, impossible to find how to fix or contact for support via the app as it is stuck on the login page.

If I could give a minus rating I would. Why would schools bother paying for this junk? A carrier pigeon would be an upgrade.

A communication app that doesn’t communicate

This app does not notify you of new messages despite all push notifications being enabled. Ridiculous considering that is it’s sole purpose.

App not responding since IOS15 update

The app stopped working since upgrading to IOS15. It only opens the start page with the Engage logo but then nothing loads. Prior to the upgrade I loved using the app. Yes, it had a limited functionality compared to the PC version, but I could see the required items when I had to check while on the go. Please may you release an update soon to address the move of the IOS version. Many thanks.

Trash

Absolutely buggy

So slow it’s almost unusable

Just downloaded the latest version that suggested there were performance improvements. The app remains the slowest app I use - second slowest is the Engage website!
