Would love to have access

I have reset my HAC account 6 different times now, and can finally log into it from the web. Was told to use this app as GradeWay is a third party app. Being it is ran by PowerSchool (same as HAC), I chose my district, and it asked me to log into, yet it says my login credentials are invalid!! Reset HAC AGAIN and still same results. It would be nice to have access without having to go to the web where it’s tiny print and I have to zoom in. After 3 hours of back and forth with support, they are now telling me “just follow the link you were provided to access it”. Extremely frustrating!!

Comms error

I seem to be able to log in for LISD and after selecting one of my kids it returns a communication error.

Outdated, buggy, and overall prefty bad

This thing barely works, the ui is harsh on the eyes like if it was made in the 2000's.

It just stop working

It just stop working I can’t even login

Was working but not this year

App worked great for me last year, but this year not so much. I can log in but when click on my kids I get an error message saying to contact support. Please resolve the issue so I can watch over them

DOESNT EVEN WORK

Have never been able to log in, everytime I try it tells me to contact technical support. Can’t even access my child’s school info. Waste of space on my phone.

Life ruined

App made my family hate the sight of my face as my grades were down in the depths of Mordor. Will never recover from this. Daily beatings start tomorrow wish me luck!

**The Unexpected Downfall: A Tale of eSchoolPlus Family**

In the quiet suburb of Willow Creek, life was mostly serene. For many years, the rhythm of daily life was punctuated by familiar routines: morning coffee, work, school, and family dinners. For the Hamiltons, this was the bedrock of their contentment. That is, until the introduction of a seemingly innocuous app—eSchoolPlus Family.

The app was intended to be a bridge between school and home, offering parents a real-time glimpse into their children's academic lives. When Mrs. Hamilton first downloaded it, she was optimistic. With three children—Ella, Jake, and Lucy—keeping track of school schedules, assignments, and grades was a daunting task. The app promised to make things easier.

At first, it seemed to deliver on its promises. Mrs. Hamilton received notifications about upcoming tests, missing assignments, and even school events. She felt more connected to her children’s education than ever before. But soon, the constant stream of information began to have unintended consequences.

Ella, the eldest, was a bright but anxious student. She thrived in her studies but was easily overwhelmed. The app’s relentless updates on every minor grade fluctuation and assignment due date started to weigh heavily on her. Mrs. Hamilton, eager to support her daughter, began micromanaging Ella’s schoolwork. What she thought was helping soon turned into an oppressive oversight, leaving Ella feeling suffocated and stressed. Her grades started to slip, not because she wasn’t capable, but because the pressure became too much.

Jake, on the other hand, was a free spirit. School had never been his forte, but he excelled in creativity and sports. The app’s frequent reminders of his academic shortcomings and missing assignments led to constant arguments at home. Jake felt he could never measure up to his parents’ expectations, which were now laid bare by the app’s unfiltered data. The tension grew, and Jake began to withdraw, spending more time away from home and less time on his passions.

Lucy, the youngest, was caught in the crossfire. She adored her older siblings and often felt overshadowed by their achievements and struggles. The app highlighted the differences in their academic performances, creating an unintended competition. Lucy’s self-esteem took a hit as she felt less accomplished compared to Ella’s previous high grades and Jake’s creative endeavors.

Mr. Hamilton watched helplessly as the harmony in their household eroded. Family dinners, once a time of connection and joy, became battlegrounds of blame and frustration. The app’s updates and notifications seemed to invade every aspect of their lives, leaving no room for respite.

Desperate to reclaim their family’s happiness, Mr. Hamilton suggested they take a break from the app. At first, Mrs. Hamilton resisted. She believed that being informed was crucial to supporting their children. But as she looked around the dinner table at her stressed, withdrawn, and disheartened children, she realized the cost of their constant surveillance.

They decided to uninstall eSchoolPlus Family, opting instead to communicate directly with their children and their teachers when needed. It wasn’t an immediate fix, but gradually, the household began to heal. Ella’s anxiety lessened, Jake found joy in his hobbies again, and Lucy’s confidence grew. The Hamiltons rediscovered the importance of balance and trust, learning that sometimes, less information can lead to greater happiness.

The app that was meant to bring them closer to their children had nearly torn them apart. In the end, the Hamiltons learned that technology could never replace genuine, heartfelt communication and understanding within a family.

Bad

I want this app takin down

Embarrassing

Wow this app is terrible, seems to be abandoned at this point in terms of making substantial changes.

The android version is even worse but no excuse for the iOS version given your coding against a fixed number of devices.

Not sure by districts use this as even the website is very dated

Doesn't work

It is buggy - sometimes lets me in, sometimes doesn't recognize my is, and sometimes doesn't even recognize my school district. It's totally random when it does this. I deleted it because it's easier to bug my kid to show me the information on their computer (which with a teen is not actually easy).

Login Error

Worst app ever! App has continuous login errors and rarely lets me log on! Amazed after over two years at using this app it seems that they have put zero effort into correcting this bug within the app! Great concept terrible experience!

Doesn’t let me log in

This doesn’t let me log in and I’m putting my info correctly!!

really ugly and bad

horrible app! switch to gradeway for hac if you want to actually be able to see your grades! this app is so confusing and has a horrible ui don’t waste your time with it!

Amazing

This app is awesome and it’s way faster then the web browser.

Bad

Hard to use and confusing

It works… but…

This app works to view my grades and status of classes, however this app looks outdated and is pretty slow. If PowerSchool has a awesome look, I feel like this app should have a new look as well… including the Home Access Center website

buggy and outdated

it feels like someone created this app on the first smartphone to ever exist and has since forgotten about it

Use the browser version instead.

First off, the UI is not good. It is pretty outdated, and the screen is crowded as if it was suppose to be used on an iPhone 4. The app hasn’t had a major update in 6-7 years and it shows. The app also won’t let me log in but the website does.

Unless this app gets a major overhaul, I’ll stick with the browser version.

*edit*
They updated last week and they still didnt update the UI.

Horrible

Just tried to use it to check my kid’s grades. Literally impossible. Why even bother making an app and advertising it if it’s not going to work at all. Waste of time for anyone using. Website is horrible too but at least I can see what I’m looking for.
