Couldn’t make a account

i couldn’t make a account, it sent me countless emails to me and when i clicked on them it took me to the main page, horrible app, many bugs and needs to be fixed

Notification Settings Do Not Work

We’ve received an email every. night. for months. that the balance on our child’s account was under the Low Balance threshold when it wasn’t. We’ll have all the notifications disabled too, but the emails keep coming anyway. And the balance in the email is incorrect, too—it always says there’s $1.25, but there could be $10 or $40, it doesn’t matter. Something broke this app months ago and it was never fixed and it sucks.

Such a difficult app

This app is so difficult to use I’m trying to log in to pay a balance and the mobile version is terrible, you can’t move pages and pop ups away easy. I never give reviews but I had to take the time out of my day to comment on how terrible this app is

Nothing submits

Will not let cafeteria balances be transferred from one student to another in the same family. You can set it up but the transfer will not submit.
