### 1/5 — Website is more useful

*2026-02-01, version 5.6.29001*

To sum it up, they made an app to take you to the website. Click HAC, it takes u to MyKaty and you gave to sign in.. and then it doesn't take you anywhere after thag. I already know how to sign in MyKaty-_-.

### 3/5 — Katyisd calendar

*2024-12-20, version 5.6.29001*

Overall, really great app shows everything you need to see about your grade school events and upcoming assignments. I love the way everything is set up. I love to lay out. But, there is a problem, when I go to try to calendar the calendar instead of not stay on Katy ISD, instead a transport me to Safari I think this update is weird. I found it totally OK with when you check the calendar it stays on the app but now it changed to go to Safari. Not my best way to help an app grow in my opinion.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-05-07, version 5.6.27000*

Does not work, even I can’t open the app it’s freeze amd later on closed

### 2/5 — Mobile app

*2022-11-07, version 5.6.18000*

Does not show all schools to select specific calendar for setup. ( only one junior high listed and not all elementary )..

### 3/5 — It’s good, but bad. Read to find pros and cons

*2021-05-21, version 5.6.6000*

Pros:

-shows grades
-shows lunch menu
- shows which bus I ride. Etc
- can log into any account
-can change profile picture.
-shows katyisd news.
- if u have allergies it still shows u what type of food for lunch you can still eat.
- shows which subject is which teacher.

Cons:

- once you go into the app, it brings u back to the home page. You have to do it twice to get in the app.
- grades load so slow. If u had a test, it would take 2-3 days to load!
- when grades are actually loaded, sometimes the average score doesn’t change!
- doesn’t show if the grade is major, minor, or other.

Thanks for reading this long review!

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2021-04-15, version 5.6.6000*

TERRIBLE

### 3/5 — Grading

*2019-04-05, version 5.5.3000*

The grades don't update as quickly as home access center updates the grades.
It always lags behind and I realize that it's pretty much pointless to have the app and that I should just check my grades via browser anyways. 
I wish you'd get notified the instant you get a grade put in.
I don't use the app for much else.

### 4/5 — So close

*2018-12-18, version 5.2.100*

This was a great app but the bus route finder won’t work

### 3/5 — Grades disappear all the time

*2018-11-09, version 5.2.100*

This was a great app at first.  Everything I needed regarding school was here. Specially to check grades.  Then the grades stopped showing and several glitches started to appear.  It’s not reliable but if everything gets fix it would be great

### 4/5 — Have to keep logging in? WTH.

*2018-10-12, version 5.2.100*

Keeps logging me out. Pretty frustrating.  Otherwise would have been 5 stars.
