Checks
I have approved checks but activity is still there
Submit button greyed out a lot / Coukd be more user friendly
I find that the submit button is greyed out too often, hence unable to submit. Always inputting the same old stuff so would be good if certain information could be stored/saved …could be more user friendly.
Not user friendly
The whole set up is clunky and doesn’t flow. Really needs reimagined.
Not fit for purpose
The app doesn’t support equal parenting rights. If this was a joint bank account both account holders would need to agree before a transaction could be made. And yet for co-parents using this app, one parent is excluded in their right to agree to permission.
Not user friendly
Submit and save buttons not highlighted therefore cannot complete the form.
Great idea. Poor execution
Logging in every 45 days to prevent having to re register is well nigh impossible when there is no content to log in for and the app doesn’t work properly. Today I can open it but no button responds to any interaction. No errors. No explanation. It’s just playing dumb like a truant child. How appropriate. Notifications often do not disappear. Notifications don’t happen too, sometimes. Constantly being told to update information that has already been updated is not helpful. Looks like a lot of functionality but mostly it’s just links to external sites which aren’t useful meaning much of it is just clutter. Shame. It’s a great idea in principle.

Parent portal fail
This is the worst app and doesn’t work half the time
Seperated parents
As seperstated parent this spp only sllow one parent to sign permission slips. Even though both parents have equal parental responsibility
Mr
Parents portal.Scot doing great job between school and parent communications very good idea ,As a parent I am very proud for miscommunication with myself and my children School Big thanks😀😄😸😺
Not good
Very difficult to work. Not easy to find where things are. Tricky to switch between different children
It’s ok
App sometimes can’t add reason for illness. And then when you type you can’t hit the submit button. Took me 5 attempts to log an absence
Crashes and closes
The app constantly crashes and closes of its own accord meaning you have to switch your phone on and off to log in. Many things do not work as they should ie Face ID, passcode login, Add child, links that are shared aren’t able to be clicked on and followed as should. It’s just not up to scratch to enable you to keep up to date with school comms. Worst thing ever as it slows everything down and my kiddo has missed things due to some of these issues.

First impression horrific
First time I’ve used and I’ve just spent the best part of an hour trying to fill in a simple permission form for school outings. The Submit button kept being greyed out even though I’d filled in all of the obligatory sections, until I kept deleting them and filling them out in different orders and finally it stopped being greyed out. One obligatory section was only applicable if you had prescribed medication to be administered be staff - I did not, but had to fill it in with dummy answers. Sections with an “Edit” button eg which related to my profile, eg child’s medical conditions and my personal details, which I’d previously updated and had received and email about, saying updates had been accepted by the school but weren’t showing up as updated - when I clicked on Edit to update the info as part of the permission form, it took me directly to my profile and I was then unable to go back to the permission form and lost all the information I’d already filled in! This happened repeatedly. What a waste of a morning.

Not fully functional
Adding a new contact for child doesn’t work properly. Not able to search for an address because the drop down list of options doesn’t appear. Adding address manually works but nothing is able to save unless you add more than “Day Phone” and none of the other phone options are marked as mandatory. Day phone doesn’t appear in the list of preferred contact options. No feedback on what has not been completed when the entry fails to save. Sloppy development and testing. These are fundamentals that should have been picked up.

Mobile responsiveness not great
On iPhone the app isn’t particularly responsive and you can’t see some fields
Last question
The last question requires you to state what platform you would not wish your child’s image to be shown. You need to select one for the application to be submitted. However I am happy for my child’s image to be used in all but to actually submit the form I had to select one. You will need to add another option for parents that are happy for all platforms to be used.

Embarrassing
One of the most poorly executed apps I’ve ever used. Someone’s getting paid a lot of money probably for very very little I suspect. Hard to know where to start. Non existent user experience consideration, 9 times out of 10, you get to the end of a form … which is a like being transported to 2007, and the submit button is t accessible ( not because you’ve missed a part of the form) or you can’t even reach it because the keyboard is still active and you can’t minimise it. Schools need an alternative to this.

Save not working
Edit does not allow changes to be save to complete waste of time.
St. Constantine’s primary
Very easy to access
Not great
The app has showed 2 notifications since I downloaded it. These are the same notifications and won’t go away, been over a month now and that’s very annoying. Was told report cards were to be available on Friday. They are not there. Good idea but needs the flaws sorted. Runs quicker than expressions.
