### 1/5 — Not updates

*2024-08-29*

This app does not appear to have been updated for two years. Sent two requests to get school bell schedule added but no response and no addition of our schedule. Seems to have but what we were looking for but this app is a no go.

### 5/5 — Yes

*2024-08-21*

Convenient

### 1/5 — Wish that I can just make my own bell schedule

*2024-07-31*

I don’t like that they do it the way they do I wish I could just customize my schedule and not  do by school

### 5/5 — W app

*2023-02-14*

This is a great app

### 1/5 — didn’t add my request

*2022-08-29*

please add schools?????

### 2/5 — :/

*2022-08-24*

i’ve submitted a request for my school to be added 3 times but no updates yet; i need this app for school and it starts in a week. it’s frustrating

### 1/5 — Don’t want to submit schedule

*2020-12-01*

It would be nice if you could just create your own schedule in the app.   There are very few schools pre-populated and the submittal process seems like a pain to get your school added.  Furthermore in distance learning (COVID) each class has multiple schedules due to multiple small work groups at different times.  Further “self” custom ability options would be awesome

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. With version 2.0 it's now easier to add a school: you only need the school's name to submit it. Alternatively, for a more accurate schedule you can also create and manage a Google Calendar that automatically stays up-to-date with the app. Your suggestion of creating a basic schedule within the app is being explored, too, for a possible update in the future.

### 5/5 — Great to see the Harker School added

*2020-10-22*

Love the Siri feature and widget. Reliable bell reminders for the Harker School middle and upper school campuses.
