Another poor school app
Why are the school apps that parents are forced to use so frustratingly bad? These are often private schools that pick these platforms and so they have no excuse to be so sub par.
Annoyingly Firefly fits this same pattern, and it looks like it was designed 10 years ago - with a UI and usability to match.
Every time there is an update you pray that they fixed something but sadly not.
Recently the lower nav bar was converted to a trendy oval - but it looks wrong and the oval sits too high on the background (is there no pride in design?). The messages section always shows the wrong unread messages count (it doesn’t update properly when you read things) and the messages section on the Home Screen is often empty (race condition?).
It’s better than nothing - but that doesn’t say much.
I keep prompting my child’s school to pick something else to end the misery.

Slow and Clubky
This app is so slow… my child has completed work and yet on my Firefly parents app it shows that it is still due.
Also in the done section it is totally blank.
How does this a help to parents, when you’re trying to support your children?
If I didn’t have to use this app, I wouldn’t.

Utter garbage
Frustratingly difficult to navigate before a recent update, it is now completely useless, can’t open emails, domain doesn’t match app, can’t get to any of the school links that used to be on the dashboard. The guide says “if you want to add bookmarks, go to the website” Seriously.
Zero stars is the actual rating deserved.

Missing items after update
Most of the previous info is now missing after the update.

Usability issues
One of the worst UIs. Virtually impossible to read any data due to fields not fitting on screen or being truncated .. an app within an app - homepage looks ok.. but when you go deeper you are back in the old view. To the developers.. just build a completely new mobile front end… please. This is like they hooked up an old Pentium PC app to iOS…
