### 2/5 — omg

*2022-03-20, version 1.2*

this app is fine when it actually works but half the time it never does work....like at all.....it could be working for months then just one day stop sending notifications?? weird ......

### 1/5 — Impossible to even login

*2021-11-30, version 1.2*

And I have the right credentials, if you wonder

### 1/5 — Rip Bozo

*2021-11-21, version 1.2*

This app is so garbage that the notifications only started working after I logged out of my account

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on newer iPhones

*2021-11-11, version 1.2*

I had this app on my Samsung Galaxy phone and it worked as it was supposed to. It’s a really basic app but I did get notifications of my kids’ grades. I got an IPhone XR and the app just doesn’t work. I sign in but the notifications page is completely blank, and the settings page says it has an error then kicks me out.

### 1/5 — Actually dog

*2021-10-20, version 1.2*

Plus portals is superior

### 1/5 — Do not recommend

*2021-09-25, version 1.2*

This app only gave me notifications for the first semester. Now, even though all my settings are set to send notifications, it’s silent. Does not work well. It’s the same as checking the website so what’s the point of the app?

### 1/5 — Confused

*2021-08-19, version 1.2*

I am a teacher and it would be so much easier to quickly access aspen on my phone. I was super excited to see this app, but am not sure how to access my student list and info on the app. Is this even possible to do?

### 1/5 — Completely stopped working. Notification settings will not load

*2021-04-30, version 1.2*

Not reliable. Has completely stopped working
Despite uninstalling and reinstalling. Not response from request for help
Can access notification settings 
Get a notification but nothing is posted to show detail

### 1/5 — Painful, simply painful

*2021-03-28, version 1.2*

My recommendation for the app developer; get a new job and practice the phrase, “you want fries with that?”.

### 1/5 — 3rd Review: This app is a waste!

*2021-02-26, version 1.2*

Update: 2/26/21
Fail! Repeated time and time again, FAIL! My kids’ school uses this app through the entire district. I notified the school department today of its repeated, consistent and continuing malfunctions. The committee will be reviewing another program to be used district wide to replace this complete debacle. Update the app or shut down! If notifications come in a banner but the app display is completely blank, what is the purpose??? It’s been more than a month.

Update: 2/8/21 
Did it crash? I keep deleting, downloading and relogging in and there is no display at all. But the notifications for grades keep coming in. Annnnnd I cannot contact app support because despite the circle of deleting, downloading, etc it insists I do not have an account. But yet, the notifications on an account that I do not have.

1st review: LOL, no one read this either obviously.
Could we please separate the kids notifications? Every notification comes into the same window. If you can start by separating the kids, you can at least know which notification applies to which child for later reference. My plan is to store the notifications until the marking period closes and then clear them all out. But with everything mixed together, it is extremely difficult to access the individual information. Sorry, I’m one of THOSE parents that actually want to access the information of my kids grades and ask them questions about it!

Did it crash? I keep deleting, downloading and relogging in and there is no display at all. But the notifications for grades keep coming in.

### 1/5 — It’s not even designed for the iPhone X and above

*2021-02-22, version 1.2*

The app is glitched it isn’t full screen and it looks like it’s optimized for the home button iPhones it’s not even made for the iPhones with the notch I use the XR and I think they should make a nicer looking UI and OPTIMIZE IT FOR IPHONE and by that I mean make it full screen also.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2021-02-03, version 1.2*

It does not work.  When you log in it does send notifications but nothing shows in the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-02-01*

the app just doesn’t work. it is stupid.

### 2/5 — Notifications not showing

*2021-01-22, version 1.2*

Notifications show up on my locked screen, but when I go into the app it’s completely blank. I tried going into the app settings and keep getting an error message.

### 1/5 — Unknown Error

*2021-01-15, version 1.2*

The app is built for iPhones earlier than X, so on my 11 it looks really weird. It does not send me notifications and has a completely blank screen when i enter. Also keeps saying “unknown error”. This app has been rendered useless. Do not install. Waste of time

### 1/5 — Should be ZERO stars

*2020-12-22, version 1.2*

Does anyone even work on this app?  It is the most glitchy, useless app I’ve ever encountered. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and now I can’t even log in.

### 1/5 — Amy

*2020-12-21, version 1.2*

This is an awful app. Many, many glitches with the URL. Do not recommend at ALL.

### 2/5 — Worked great last year....not anymore

*2020-11-12, version 1.2*

This app was amazing last year! It helped me keep track of my grades and was extremely useful, especially when I was anxious about a test. But as of this 2020-21 school year, it is broken almost completely. I still receive notifications about an assignment grade, but if I click to open the details it will disappear. My grade log is blank. It is still useful to some extent, which is why I gave it two stars, but I wouldn’t really recommend installing this until it gets fixed.

### 1/5 — URL doesn’t work

*2024-12-09, version 1.2*

I cannot even get into this app. I have followed the instructions for copying the URL and it still says it’s wrong. There’s nowhere I can email or get support to see what the issue is. Extremely disappointed in this app.

### 1/5 — Zero stars

*2024-01-17, version 1.2*

If I could get the zero stars, I would. It was working fine for a number of years, but now it has completely stopped working. It won’t let me login, even though the credentials are accurate.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-01-03, version 1.2*

App hasn’t worked in months.

### 1/5 — Full of glitches

*2022-12-22, version 1.2*

Very poorly written app.  Besides the lousy interface, it completely stopped working.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work

*2022-10-12, version 1.2*

I had trouble even logging on because the password button covered up the sign in button on the screen. Once I finally got in I received no notifications. I waited a few days but still nothing, when I check the website teachers had recently posted grades but did not show up in the app. The setting menu also has no function and just says error every time.

### 1/5 — Good Idea, Terrible Execution.

*2022-08-27*

You are happy to find the app in the store, the login looks legit and takes the schools URL and login credentials.  Then you get updated from the school (outside of Aspen) that info is posted on ASPEN… but all you can see is the “Welcome…” notification with options to view the About, Settings and can Logout. I waited a week to see if anything would sync up and nothing. I ended up just logging in via a browser and making a “homepage” link on my phone - so much easier! It’s been 7-8 years since an update (2014?).

I’ll take this is a clear sign as to why this app is not posted anywhere on the school systems sites??

Perhaps there’ll be an update soon with much better overall functionality with the app. It could be a great, useful, informative and up-to-date app too!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-05-04, version 1.2*

This app literally does not work every time I open I just have a blank white screen.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-02-10*

I hope the services provided by this company are free to our schools because everything about these systems is crap. Layouts are terrible, usernames that are provided to us are silly, ability to log in is crap, it is not intuitive at all and try to find a report card from a semester previous and you might as well be looking for a needle in a haystack. The website and the app are just utterly useless. This whole system has zero redeeming qualities. I wish I could rate it zero stars. 

If you are a decision maker looking at systems- DO NOT PICK THIS ONE.

### 1/5 — Garbage App

*2022-01-13, version 1.2*

This app is garbage.  Power School is the best app.  The only way they can be selling this app is if they are paying off school administrators to buy it for their schools.  Who in their right mind would buy an app for their school system that only gets 1.7 stars out of 5???????  It is garbage and they know it.

### 1/5 — Can’t even sign in

*2021-12-17, version 1.2*

I just want to be able to sign in n

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 4/5 — Depends

*2019-10-08*

Well, it works for me for some reason.  Have you turned of the notifications and turned it on again?  It may not help but try it.  If that doesn’t work try deleting the app, restart your device, and then redownload it again, then see if you get notifications when your teacher(s)post a grade.

### 4/5 — Delete All Button

*2019-09-06, version 1.2*

I would give it five stars except for the fact that there’s no delete all button. I have notifications from two years ago and it will take forever to delete them all.

### 4/5 — Great if you only want to track one child

*2017-09-14, version 1.2*

This app is great for keeping track of grades. The major problem I have is that I have multiple children and can't figure out if there's a way to get notifications for both.

### 4/5 — easton student

*2015-10-24, version 1.2*

I like this app. The login worked fine for me. This app only tells you what grade you got on an assignment, it does not let you see your grades if that is what you were looking for. Everyone at school has it and its great! Although I wish I could see which teacher posted what.

### 3/5 — Log on button hidden

*2021-09-01, version 1.2*

Log on button in iPhone 7 is hidden by the keyboard. I can’t log into the app. Please fix.

### 3/5 — UPDATE

*2020-11-20, version 1.2*

I feel like you should have a section for each class we have so we don’t have to scroll down the same notification and pressing on it to send if it’s the correct class. If you organize it a bit better and have that , the app would be a lot better

### 3/5 — It give notifications, but doesn’t show them on the app? Just delete the app then re-downloaded it

*2020-09-21*

I occasionally receive notifications for this app, but when I tap view but it doesn’t show them?! Also, I can’t edit the settings it keeps saying “unknown error” I’m sorry, but I don’t suggest this app.

After I wrote this review, I tried deleting the app, then. Re-downloading the app, I fixed the problem.

### 3/5 — Aspen follet app

*2020-03-05, version 1.2*

I pasted my url in the spot and my is but when I do my password it says an error has happened and I can’t login

### 3/5 — Having Trouble Logging In

*2020-01-02, version 1.2*

I would love to use this app so much, it would be so helpful. But when i try to use my log in which is 100% correct and i put in the url which is right it comes up with something saying that my login is wrong I would really like to know what to do so it would be great if you got back to me soon.

### 3/5 — Like but could improve

*2019-09-05, version 1.2*

I like that I can see the grades coming in. Wish it had options to select classes you want to get reports vs classes you don’t want reported. Would also be nice to be able to delete multiple notifications at one time rather than one at a time.
