See how this one goes?? ### 3/5 — Noisy *2022-10-14, version 4.35.2* The notifications don’t clear even if you’re able to keep up with the deluge of items that keep being sent. Turned off notifications and manually check every other day. ### 3/5 — Not working *2021-07-12, version 4.35.2* App won’t open, just stays on opening screen… bit difficult with remote learning happening! ### 3/5 — Notification *2021-06-24, version 4.35.2* The app is handy and easy to use but I cannot get rid of the notidication indication even though I've checked all news. It always indicate there is 1 message I have not read, it is quite annoying....please get that fix, thanks. ### 2/5 — Need to be able to auto fill *2021-02-04, version 4.35.2* Or save personal and payment details or link to iPhone auto fill. ### 3/5 — No Push Notifications *2020-06-20, version 4.35* Don’t get any notifications, which means I miss out notices published by school, unless I open the app and search for any notifications. I already checked the notification settings they are On. ### 2/5 — Used to be good *2019-10-21, version 4.34* Keeps saying I have unread messages. I’ve reset it, turn off/on the phone. Closed and downloaded again. Not working. If you could fix the bug soon pls~~ ### 3/5 — Pretty useful but ... *2019-10-08, version 4.34* My app says I have two unread announcements but I’ve read everything. This problem has been around for months and three or more updates and hasn’t been fixed. Also I can’t find a bug report option anywhere and other parents are having the same issue ### 3/5 — Notifications for news lists not selected *2019-06-09, version 4.32* Good app but I get notifications for news lists not set to ‘on’ under the settings. ### 3/5 — Great communication platform, but ... *2018-02-20, version 4.15* Great communication platform, but I’m unable to send information out or copy data out of it, e.g. I want to copy information and paste it into an email to remind me, but the copy function doesn’t work, and when I use the send button, it doesn’t copy the data just a useless .pdf file. Fix these and the app is close to perfect. ### 2/5 — Absent note won't work *2017-07-25, version 4.00* Great app but just wasted time trying to notify school of absence through the form section clearly meant for this. However no matter how I tried to enter my phone number either landline or mobile it would not accept it and I couldn't submit. Please fix. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App security? *2021-08-04, version 4.35.2* How is this app allowed to function with core data and information about the movement and events of school age children "minors" without the presence of an authentication or security measure protecting it? Is this a school decision or not a feature supported by the app?? ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing and can’t read covid-19 school updates *2020-03-16, version 4.34* Keeps crashing I get notification that school has updated important information I go to open and goes to loading screen then completely shuts down app. Very frustrating. I’m on iPhone 11. ### 1/5 — Clunkiest app on my phone *2019-10-19, version 4.34* Forced to use this app by the school. The only good thing is it reduces the need for paper usage. Can’t search. Things are not marked as read (unless you use the stupid work-around in settings), takes ages to load items. Very frustrating. Sloppy dev. ### 1/5 — Will not update *2016-02-14, version 3.80* Current version will not update app. Even after deleting it and trying to download again it could 'not download at this time' very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Junk *2015-12-03, version 3.31* This app doesn't work. Completely useless ### 1/5 — Don't get it?? *2014-12-11, version 3.31* The schools don't have any info? I clicked on some local schools, there's nothing in the app about the schools? What does this app do? I can't seem to make it do anything? ### 1/5 — Does not work *2014-04-08, version 3.01* I am unable to download my school's newsletters. So I am forced to use the Web App which works fine. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2013-02-18, version 2.01* Can't load school list. Tried many times. Couldn't get it to work. ### 1/5 — No way *2012-10-03* This app is horrible. I'm sorry to say but ya gotta do what ya gotta do! 😜. It dosent even know 1 school so what's the point of it!? ### 1/5 — Kristielee77 *2012-07-16, version 1.01* Downloaded it, & there are no school lists coming up???? Ended up having to use home pc. Waste of time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app overall *2021-11-28, version 4.35.2* The app is very useful. The only downside are the phantom notifications (ones with no actual posts) which can easily be cleared. ### 5/5 — A+ Application *2019-10-22, version 4.34* This app is so handy. I love the alerts and digital permission notes. It has been reliable for me over many years. ### 5/5 — Feature request *2016-02-23, version 3.80* Great app, really helpful. Could you a read all function to clear the notification badge? I get them via email too and sometimes read the message their. Otherwise I have to manually go in and open up each message. ### 5/5 — Great *2014-12-02, version 3.31* Great app ### 5/5 — Great *2014-01-28, version 3.01* A must have ### 5/5 — Perfect *2013-04-28, version 2.01* Works fast.

Great way to stay in touch. No more lost notes! Everyone should use this! ### 5/5 — Great tool for busy parents *2012-12-19, version 2.01* Love it! My son's school just started putting their newsletter. Hopefully they continue doing it in the new year. Awesome!! No more paper and no more case of not reading it. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Problem fixed! *2012-07-26, version 1.01* Get error message...no Internet connection. I emailed the support staff and they were very helpful. The APP now works beautifully. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
