Doesn’t provide any visible benefits over the original parent portal(doesn’t even provide GPA). Whoever made this change needs to be fired or tarred and feathered, and same for whoever designed it. ### 1/5 — NO *2022-10-03, version 3.7.15* constantly having to sign on, no gpa, overall horrible app! please bring back parent portal. ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-09-16, version 3.7.15* Very bad wouldn’t recommend ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-09-15, version 3.7.15* It is BAD ### 1/5 — Difficult *2022-09-06, version 3.7.15* Won’t let me sign sign, difficult to use when/if you get signed in,not user friendly in general really Bring back other app ### 1/5 — Would put 0 stars. *2022-08-28, version 3.7.15* Horrible UI.

Not very user friendly. ### 1/5 — L school😐 *2022-08-19, version 3.7.15* bring back the other app ### 1/5 — L Chambers *2022-08-19, version 3.7.15* Bring back parent portal ### 1/5 — This trash *2022-08-19, version 3.7.15* Bring back parent portal ### 1/5 — bad *2022-08-19, version 3.7.15* bring back parent portal ### 1/5 — Nah Bro *2022-08-19, version 3.7.15* Bring back parent portal ### 1/5 — No *2022-08-17, version 3.7.15* No ### 1/5 — nah bro *2022-08-16, version 3.7.15* nah bro ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-01-13, version 3.8.6* The app is completely useless. Incredibly hard to sign in if it ever lets you. At first attempt after phone update, it continues to tell me I’ve reached the maximum attempts to sign in- again on first try. Not even an option for “forgot password” to reset. Before when i was able to sign in, it never had students grades updated in the app even though the website had them. Very complicated app and needs to be fixed. ### 1/5 — BAD *2024-08-19, version 3.8.6* It won’t let you sign in and it will just reset you back to the homepage. It is also very low quality. DO NOT RECOMMEND❗️ ### 1/5 — Not easy to use *2024-08-18, version 3.8.6* It's very other app unfriendly, it's very hard to navigate and has all this extra non important information when in reality students like me need to find things like gpa without it being super complicated ### 1/5 — Annoying *2024-02-09, version 3.8.6* Gets to annoying to use ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-09-05, version 3.7.15* This app is terrible. I could only use it when I choose SSO before, now it’s so glitchy that it freezes when I’m entering my username and or password. Get it together, Focus! ### 1/5 — Sign in *2023-03-09, version 3.7.15* Doesn’t allow me to login. ### 1/5 — … *2022-12-20, version 3.7.15* This junt lame asl😂 ### 1/5 — Ridiculous App *2022-12-02, version 3.7.15* This is a joke. Way to cumbersome and a pain to get set up. Okaloosa County, Spend a little money on your schools and invest in an app that works. Pointless and aggravating. ### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage *2022-10-21, version 3.7.15* My login screen lets me click on the box to enter a username but no cursor shows up so nothing actually types in. Please trash this and find a new platform that works! ### 1/5 — N *2022-10-17, version 3.7.15* Mad annoying parent portal better and it’s confusing to get on ur grades ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why is everyone complaining *2026-04-20, version 3.8.6* I don’t understand why everyone is upset, app works fine, gives me my grades, and does all the things that the web version does. I think web version was a little more clunky than this though so that’s good. Also, I wish they would add what badges actually do, but that’s really my only complaint ### 3/5 — Access *2022-08-18, version 3.7.15* I like all the information that it gives me, but parent portal was easier to access and was easier to see my grade for the overall class. ### 2/5 — Information + UI *2022-10-03, version 3.7.15* too much extra information without important things like gpa, and if it is on there it’s very difficult to find. some things to find them require you to go into one main section then a subsection then another subsection, it’s just overly complex for no reason. one thing about parent portal was virtual report cards, and while we haven’t reached the end of a quarter i don’t think it’ll be the same. i liked that with paws you could open the pdf and see your grade average, generic comments, issues, concerns, etc, with a key corresponding to those. i also liked being able to see test scores and what not through it’s dedicated section, now i can’t seem to find anywhere that i can find that. overall, bad navigation and not enough important information. parent portal was a lot easier to navigate and that made it easy to find what you need. ### 2/5 — Needs more info *2022-08-20, version 3.7.15* Doesn’t show GPA like Parent Portal did. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
