Poorly designed app would not be widely used

It’s amazing that schools use this app. Developers could not figure out how to have same student (different yr)???? Need different email address so when child chg schools or moves on to middle or hs different email needed! Now you can’t even view reports from app it gets emailed. Lunch accounts should be one of the last things that should be inconvenient. Not user friendly at all!

I give up

I’ll just use the website. The simple concept of “ask for FaceID BEFORE logging in” or “people should use password managers and therefore no letters will be TYPED” are too much for this outfit to grasp. Multiple tries of logging in, deleting the last character of the password then re-adding it, only for FaceID to kick in some random time later and log me out has broken me.

Buy a clue, because all these complaints about your app haven’t made you find one.

I’m deleting the app and will never add it again. This app is a crime against humanity.

payforit was much better

Every time I try to use the app it immediately says my session has expired. Can’t access anything on it. And it worked somewhat. OK on my iPhone 6s Plus. Worthless on my iPhone 14 Pro. I have waited two months for the problem to be solved and nothing is fixed yet.

Didn’t work

The app is not allowing to perform any action after login, and immediately logged out and ask to enter username/password and even face id is also didn’t work, have to either login from browser or laptop, very frustrating

Next to worthless

Any school board or school board representative thinking of switching or implementing PaySchools should use their app that is terrible and they will immediately look elsewhere. The audacity to charge a $2 internet convenience fee insinuates that their app is intuitive or easy to use, let me assure you it’s not. Yes you can easily add money to your child’s account but the rest if the features will send you emails of data that could just as easily be shown in the app. This app reeks of a company not trying because they deal with a guaranteed pay source and can easily hold their audience captive regardless of how inept they ares
