### 1/5 — App never works

*2026-04-20, version 15.11.25*

Every time I want to use this app, I have to delete it and then add the app back. Until I do so, it will only show information from the most recent time I downloaded the application. When I tried to add an absence, the buttons didn’t work—once again, had to remove and re-download. Not a good setup.

### 3/5 — Good but could be better

*2026-02-04, version 15.11.25*

This app works well for certain features like messaging but would be better if it pushed real time updates. As a parent, I would prefer to see updates throughout the day.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t send messages reliably…

*2025-12-02, version 15.10.13*

Up to date app, still doesn’t send

### 1/5 — App stops updating often.

*2025-11-04*

I have to delete and re-download this app every couple weeks or so because it just stops working completely. I’ve given up and just check my email instead for the updates.

### 1/5 — Why not improve the app

*2025-09-19, version 15.7.9*

This app was called tadpoles and I think they changed the name because reviews are so bad. The two apps are exact same! Why don’t you improve your app? If it is bad no matter what name your change you will get bad reviews anyway

### 2/5 — Ugh

*2025-08-25, version 15.7.9*

Love that you can receive pictures, updates, and message the teacher through it and all. But I haven’t been able to do any of that because it never refreshes and always freezes. Please fix these bugs and glitches because it’s a little frustrating when you’re wanting to see updates on your children. I looked to see if it needed updates but to no avail. I hope you guys figure something out because I know I’m not the only one experiencing this.

### 1/5 — Needs improvements

*2025-01-23, version 12.10.25*

Please look at implementing a live-update on activities. As a parent, it would be nice to see what my child is doing throughout the day rather than just sending the report at checkout.

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2023-02-28, version 12.10.25*

Have too delete app and redownload I order too see anything. Gets stuck on one week n then nothing till i redownload it won’t let me refresh.

### 1/5 — No ability to save images to camera roll

*2022-11-16, version 12.10.25*

Have used other apps that were seamless, user friendly/intuitive. This app is clunky and can’t save images to camera roll.

### 2/5 — Messages and push notifications

*2022-10-12, version 12.8.26*

I like the idea of this app and the ability to message my child’s teacher. However, when I go to write a message back to her, the screen reverts all the way back to the very first message so I have to scroll scroll scroll to get back down to what her teacher last said in order to respond. Also, when I do respond, I’ll get a push notification-of my OWN response-hours after I’ve sent it. Please fix both of these issues soon!
