Unusable

Every time I log in the app just freezes. Can’t tap on anything to open any areas to see child’s info or pay. Can log in via web but can’t view properly on a smart phone.tried to contact support but have to have a support contract to get help.

Terrible

Awful - not user friendly and doesn’t deliver at all. Pointless

App not working correctly

I am asked to go through the Full process username then password the school postcode and then activate
Then it takes me to a webpage which does not show the whole page. If I try the app its repeats the first step and brings me back to step one

Good and perfect to use

By quite some margin the worst app on my phone

The notifications don’t show in the right order. If you click on the wrong one all the latest ones get hidden at the bottom. It always wants to do double Face ID. The payments and wallets make no sense. You can’t see notifications for both children. Truly a triumph of terrible user interface!

Totally inadequate for parent communications

My school switched last Sept to MCAS / Bromcom and all communication in the past school year has gone downhill. The parents’ WhatsApp group has to make up for the short failings of MCAS to keep parents informed of notifications from the school. Despite the app sending a notification, once the user clicks on the notification it sends you to the general dashboard in the app and it leaves the user to ‘guess’ which tab the notification is applicable too. Given that there are often at least 12 tabs, it is not easy to search for or locate a notification. The system also doesn’t allow you to opt for ‘email notifications’ if you are using the app so there is no back up communication. It’s the worst school to parent communications app I have ever experienced in 15 years of being a parent to a student

Bad

Because I need to see the trips im going on and the events got tooken of

No

Entirely consistent in being inconsistent. Ridiculous. No “messages” or “notifications” the “timetable” option has been removed. Much like the software developers who control this abomination should be.

Terrible!!

Non of the tiles work within the app. Unable to make payments or read messages.

Terrible app

Freezes, doesn’t work, terrible

Overall good but not easy to see parts

The only niggle I have about the app is the fact on the behaviour points it is impossible to see the neutral behaviour points due to it being a light yellow on a white background. Would be better as orange, for example, or changing the background to a darker colour

Login never recognised.

Every time we login it loses our login details and says the login doesn’t exist and therefore can’t reset.

Review

Just up dated , nothing works can’t click on anything no tabs will open , terrrible app

Annoying app

Get messages I don’t want every day. Can’t turn them off. Child left school and still can stop them

Great app

My child has just moved to a new school and her old school did not have this app, I like how there is a store and you can buy things in advance, no more taking cash in one of those envelopes with your name on it which saves waste.

It keeps freezing

A enquiry has been entered by schools I.T . Awaiting a reply.

Doesn’t work well

Not receiving any updates or messages tried countless times to re install and rest no joy

Payment errors

The app is very clunky and can take a long time to load messages. The one issue that is really annoying is when paying for school dinners, it errors when selecting a saved payment card. This results in me having to re-input my card details every week.

Consent issues

Problems giving consent for trips etc. was working fine to start. Can still read message but unable to open trips page now. Have updated. Uninstall and reinstall but same issue persist

Finally a school app that works

Simple immediate and does the job
