Notifications Don’t Work

I’ve checked every setting and followed every instruction, and notifications still don’t work. I miss important information from my children’s teachers. There should also be an option to receive text messages AND have the app. I can only get text messages when I delete the app and then have to reinstall it to reply. It makes so much extra work for parents and I wish schools would stop using this app.

Bug Fix

Please fix the notifications issue! I received none between yesterday and all day today. I received one tonight but now I feel I can’t trust it.

Broken notifications

I’m not receiving notifications. Settings are all correct and the notification test through the app works but I don’t receive important time-sensitive notifications from my child’s teachers or nurse! I’ve even upgraded to a brand new phone and they still don’t work. Even reinstalled the app. Needs to be fixed NOW.

Where are the notifications

I get notifications about 20% of the messages. I’m missing important time-sensitive messages.

Hard to understand I don’t know what I’m supposed to do

Notification Problems

Seems to be a consistent issue with notifications. Sometimes I get them, most of the time I don’t. And my spouse’s phone is the same so it’s not a device issue.

Notifications are awful

Notifications do not persist and I am consistently missing important communication from my kids teachers. Had to switch to text messages to ensure I get my messages.

Can’t log in

Used the app last year, deleted it at end of school year, downloaded it again and can’t log in because I’m not getting the text message with the verification code. Can’t get any help with this issue

Love it so much☺️

My school made a strict law that we can't communicate through email, neither google chat, only through school email, which I don't have one. I have a feature request that you can also be able to send just voice messages to teachers. That's all, thanks 😊

Good

Mrs. Whiteman

My daughter is a student of Mrs. Whiteman and that’s the reason I got in touch with Mrs. Whiteman and got to know her. Mrs. Whiteman is an Amazing Teacher, awesome human being and always ready to help student and also satisfy parents with Their questions, irrespective of the time and day. She helped me during the weekend which no teacher will do and I really appreciate that.
Thank you Mrs. Whiteman. It was awesome working with you over the summer.

Some bad UI elements

This app should not interrupt my audio player on launch. The notification badge number is also always incorrect. It will show 5 or 7 when I have one new message.

Needs work

There should be a way to archive or delete announcements from your stream once you’ve read them.
Also, as a parent I should be able to message multiple teachers at once.

this sucks

I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

Accessibility is importante

Just wish to understand how a such simple app cannot have dark mode or use smart invert on it! It is a great app but accessibility is missing big time!

App frequently does not work

Would give it 4 or 5 stars if it worked but I continuously get a “We’ll be right back. Our site is currently down” page when I open the app no matter how many times I restart the phone or reinstall the app. Been like this for more than a year.

Unreliable

Never opens announcements when I click on a notification, instead we get a screen saying it’s unavailable. Usually have to close out and reload or re-download to get it working. Confusing to navigate when it does work. You cannot see the messages sent by the other student’s guardian either. So often my spouse & I are playing separate catch-up during the workday uncertain what the teacher is addressing. Worst part is the school relies *exclusively* on this unreliable app for all comms, so good luck keeping up on deadlines or assignments.

Stopped Working

The app stopped working when the kids went on Christmas break. It’s says the site is currently down. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, nothing!

Very Unreliable

This app is constantly offline and the presentation format leaves a lot to be desired

First working now not

At first, this app was great! Now it says I need update but it wont with my device not updated. This issue needs serious help right now.
