App not inclusive of blended families

Unfortunately this app only allows for one parent to be in charge of the entire account for a child, which can be an issue for blended families. If the “primary” parent is high conflict, they can delete or remove contact information / pick up contacts / or even restrict the other parent’s level of access on the app. Since other parents or family members cannot be added to the app without an invite from the primary parent, the rest of the family’s access is dependent on the one primary parent. While other school apps allow for separate accounts for each parent, with invites provided by the teacher/school, allowing all parties to engage with the school’s app equally, this one does not. Hopefully this will be corrected in the future to be more inclusive.
