It makes me wanna kms. That’s it. That’s the review. :( ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2020-11-05* This all makes my phone freeze as soon as it launch it lots of bugs that need to be fixed ### 1/5 — Half decent app with bad execution *2020-10-07* In terms of execution the app is lackluster. When I go to check information such as grades it’s the same kind of hassle it takes to use the web browser without the ease of use. There are also minor restrictions to this app such as the lack of a Dark mode, being completely unable to see individual assignments and buttons that don’t work 40% of the time. Not to mention the 150 year old outdated system the app comes with a dash of crippling anxiety when you realize you grades can be visible to anyone who finds your weak 6-digit lunch code that tends to start with six or seven. Have a good evening, and keep your poorly made app. -sincerely, Generic High school student. ### 5/5 — E *2020-03-30* I get to see my grades ### 1/5 — I wanna die *2019-08-14* Everyday I wake up too early to go to a school that is in a state of degradation just to sit through hours of teachers giving out homework only to go home do my hw and wonder why I’m still alive. My social anxiety only gets worse because I never leave my room because of the piles of hw we are assigned. To all the teachers WE HAVE OTHER CLASSES THAN YOURS THINK ABOUT THE WORK LOAD. ### 1/5 — update it! *2017-12-15* optimize it for the iPhone X and iPad Pro 10.5 pls. ### 1/5 — Idk *2017-09-02* Um I redownloded and downloaded it constantly and it keeps saying bad gateway and I can't get in the app so.. ### 4/5 — Off to a great start, but lacking in other regards *2016-02-24* The 'Dashboard' is a little buggy, in that for my iPhone 5S the graphs does not display quite right, and the 'Operations ID' tab keeps taking me to a Google Drive page telling me the file to be displayed does not exist. Also, it would be a good idea to add a 'Staff Self-Service' tab, with support for fingerprint scanning on the Student and Parent sections as well. It would also be a good idea to add the ability to check your school E-mail from the app, with pushed notifications for bad weather days or E-mail from administrators or heads of staff. As a bus driver in this increasingly advancing technological age, it would be really advantageous I believe if we were able to view (and print) our routes, open routes, mid-days, and tutorial list through an app instead of having to bother dispatch or wait for a lead driver, et al, who may also be on a bus, to update the physical copy in our bus' folder. It would also be nice if we could check what field trips we had signed up for, which could then be synched to our phone's calendar). Furthermore, in the case of verifying that a student is or is not on the school's tutorial list, again, soas not to bother dispatch, it would be very expedient if a procedurally-generated QR code was printed on the slip of thermal paper (as I believe is used in all of the schools' front offices- that is, no more business-card sized tutorial cards that students may steal, copy, and forge teacher's signatures on) for many students boarding a tutorial bus, which could then be scanned by the bus driver logged into the app, producing a time stamp for when they boarded the bus. This QR code could even be scanned again for a departure time stamp when the student arrived at their stop. ### 5/5 — Great! *2015-03-07* As a student at blanco vista elementary school I really think that this app is a good way to stay updated with work and communicate with teachers. Over all I really think this is. At great app to use every day! ### 5/5 — Wow *2015-01-21* Wow ## Frequently asked questions about Hays CISD ### What kind of news does Hays CISD provide?
