### 1/5 — Waste of my life

*2016-11-09, version 5.0.100*

It just makes me sad 😪

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2015-11-09*

I can't login even though the same user name and password combination works in the browser and in the Power School app. No response from the app developers, no help from school. Others apparently have the same problem, but nobody cares. I have uninstalled the app, deleted its data from iCloud, and reinstalled, to no avail.

### 4/5 — Fairbanksparent

*2015-09-21*

All the features available on the app are great - I rarely need to log in to my parent account on my computer anymore, I can get all the info I need right here.

### 1/5 — Still can't login.

*2015-08-20, version 4.3.003*

I have not been able to login since the 2013-2014 school year.

### 1/5 — Need to redo app

*2015-08-17, version 4.3.003*

Not even worth messing with! Thumbs down!!

### 1/5 — Login??

*2015-07-30, version 4.3.003*

I can't login anywhere on this app and I've seen other students get their schedule.  I need to know my schedule before school starts so this needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Login?

*2015-07-30, version 4.3.003*

I can't find where to login! please fix before school starts so I can know my classes ahead of time.

### 2/5 — Cannot login

*2015-07-27*

The idea of the app is great, but I've found that there is no PowerSchool section and no way to login in order to see my class schedule. Other students have found their schedules on the app, but I have looked all over and there is no way to see my schedule or PowerSchool account. And I am not the only one who finds this very frustrating. PLEASE FIX! Or allow access to PowerSchool online please. I really want to see my class schedule.

### 4/5 — Review

*2015-07-25*

I love this app. I can see my classes, late busses, profile, news, notifications, upcoming assignments, and more! I really love this app and will keep it through all my years of school. Thanks FSD k12

### 3/5 — Student

*2015-07-24, version 4.3.003*
