User reviews

So supportive in many ways👋🏾.

Communication rules the nation. My child. Education . Exams. What’s what. Reminders, Invites and more. The best.

Notifications are so annoying!

With the new update, notifications are so annoying! Even if you read the message, you still have to mark the notifications as “read”. So many clicks to make the notification badge go away.

Terrible app

So hard to manage and figure out how to find info! Clunky at best

Difficulties

Sorry to report that I have a difficult time with this app. (I will admit that I am technologically challenged but, still – it seems tough to navigate. Generally speaking when I get a text linking me to the app I can usually see the content intended. However, when I open, the app independently is hard to find things, and I noticed above all that the calendar is in frequently updated.

Phenomenal

Parent Square is super user-friendly,support team is great. It is modern looking and the updates are always making it and more useful. It’s easy to use as a parent but also for staff. As the chair of our school’s PTA I am using PS all the time. Writing post logging hours making sign ups. It’s great.
