Website is more useful

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-_-.

Katyisd calendar

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.

Horrible

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

Mobile app

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

It’s good, but bad. Read to find pros and cons

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!

TERRIBLE

TERRIBLE

Grading

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.

So close

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

Grades disappear all the time

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

Have to keep logging in? WTH.

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

Nice

Its pretty good.

Almost useless

There is zero support for issues within this app...just click on help (when you're ALREADY inside and using app, and you'll find a video on how to DOWNLOAD the app).
This is a perfect metaphor for the entire situation. I'm USING THE APP, so I probably already know how to download said app....PERHAPS, I need another form of assistance, ya? KISD has my husband's contact info listed under my name and evidently there is no way in the universe to fix their mistake.
Ugh.
Not to mention, no longer receiving the alerts I set up years ago, and have since double-checked are still set to alert me about low grades (to no avail).
The app DID just add new ways to pay for school lunches and sports fees- YAY! Unsurprisingly, accepting money via 'mypaymentsplus', on this app, seems to work flawlessly. Heaven forbid they ever Double charge you and end up owing you $60...because you'll never see that again, despite calling & emailing the school and the software company a dozen times.

So, to sum up-
If you're looking for a directory of staff emails, this app is for you.
However, if you'd like to utilize all of the seemingly integrated programs within the HAC, or EVER needing customer support, this is not the app for you.

Grade notifications

For me, the whole point of this app was to get updates on my childrens' grades. Unfortunately I stopped getting notifications some time in the Spring 2017 & no one seems to know how to get this corrected. But I sure do get daily notifications about every single newsletter that gets posted. Thumbs down.

Not great

No place for password help. Plus this app is kind of useless when you get the very same email/text faster.

Constant issues

My settings are constantly disappearing and important parent information continues to get lost. Very disappointed

Good app

This app is great I give it five star.

Nice app, but . . .

Nice app when it works, which is about 50% of the time 😳. I often have to keep logging on when it times out, or even delete and reinstall.

Works great except....

For most things it is a great app but for some reason this year it keeps kicking me out of my account. I have to login to see my kids grades every time. Frustrating!

I mean I guess

It's aight

Gehehebsbs
