Terrible app!

This app is the most annoying app I have ever used. There are either app sign in issues, payment issues or just some silly error. I’ve been using it since 2022 due to our school and I cannot wait to be done this year! There has to be a better way because PaySchool is not it at all!

Just problem after problem

First to start off the attempt to login is always an issue. There is never a time I’ve gotten on without it being stubborn or just a pain in general. Second, it literally does not have the option to add money to my child’s account for lunch. Absolutely ridiculous app and system!!! Lots of improvements are needed.
