I can’t recover the PIN as it doesn’t recognise my data which didnt change at all. I have the same e-mail and the same phone number registered at school. This app is a joke ### 1/5 — Like the idea.. hating the app right now *2026-06-02, version 2.40.1.54* It is absolutely painful to write a message when needed to the school as it types so slooooow and is getting worse its takes ages to catch up and if you make a mistake take ages to delete each individual letter. Please can you sort this issue and make typing normal on here again. ### 1/5 — Sometimes good, sometimes awful *2026-05-18, version 2.40.1.54* I’m currently repeatedly getting ‘this service is unable’ when trying to pick out lunch for my child. It is ever since the last update. ### 1/5 — Payment *2026-05-01, version 2.40.1.54* Can there be a way to save payment details on this app or the option to use Apple Pay added at all? ### 2/5 — Doesn’t remember credit cards *2025-10-16, version 2.40.1.54* Every time we top up our daughter’s lunchtime money, we have to re-enter the credit card. Other apps remember the credit card or are well integrated with Apple Pay. This one doesn’t. Surely that must be possible. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2025-10-09, version 2.40.1.54* Cannot even sign up as it says the details are incorrect however they are the details the school has!!!!! ### 1/5 — Awful system *2025-10-07, version 2.40.1.54* In 2025 there are way better systems than this one, most of my child’s class has been unable to get into this app. A basic CRM system causing this much issues cannot be worth it! ### 2/5 — Update the app *2025-09-30, version 2.40.1.54* I see people are leaning similar reviews, why aren’t you listening. Spending cap on dinner money is needed, and why can’t you save card details or accept Apple Pay ### 1/5 — Non functional *2025-09-24, version 2.39.1.40* App opens and closes doesn’t boot up. I’m on an iPhone 15 this really shouldn’t be an issue. My child’s lunch money has to be paid through this app or he can’t have his lunch. Tried app support and it says it no longer exists. That’s appalling. ### 3/5 — Outdated card payment *2025-09-16, version 2.39.1.40* Why can’t this app use Apple Pay. Or remember card details, or even use the camera to read card details. ## Frequently asked questions about School Gateway ### What does the School Gateway app do?
