I regularly remove app and download again, just to get it to work. ### 4/5 — Grandma *2021-01-09, version 2.25.0* If I can use this app anyone can. ### 4/5 — Good when it works, needs an update *2020-12-18, version 2.25.0* Since updating to iOS 14.3 none of the news items will load. Please fix as the app is useless once you’ve updated. ### 3/5 — Useful app but logs you out without knowing *2020-11-18, version 2.24.0* Good app for the school to send news letters and messages. Sometimes doesn’t work, when trying to open and load a message. Main issue I’ve had is the app logged me out over the summer holidays without knowing and I missed important notifications from the school. ### 2/5 — Why no rotate? *2020-09-16, version 2.23.0* The app is decent but it doesn’t rotate to be Landscape? Unless it’s just my iPad it doesn’t work on. Can you please update it so that it can rotate to landscape? It can’t be that hard, I’ve sure! ### 4/5 — Fab App *2020-09-07, version 2.23.0* It’s so important for parents, to be able to access the information they need! This app, has it all in one place! So helpful 🙌🏻 ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-01-13, version 2.18.0* I don’t use twitter or Facebook and tend to miss out on a lot of thing going on in school, not anymore thanks to this app ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2020-01-10, version 2.18.0* Brilliant app very useful when communicating between parent and school and all information I need to know about Harper’s and Freya’s class and I do enjoy reading the newsletter ### 3/5 — Useful, when it works *2019-12-17, version 2.18.0* I find this app incredibly useful and much prefer it to trying to keep track of endless school emails. However I find it very glitchy. It works for several weeks, then suddenly it loses all newsletters and other info. This has happened several times now and I’ve been left with nothing but 2 old letters dated in 2017, for no apparent reason. I had to uninstall then reinstall the app, and wait another week for anything recent to appear on the dashboard. I would rate the app more highly if it wasn’t for this recurring issue. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2019-12-13, version 2.18.0* I found this app very helpful coz now I will know what’s coming up and what’s happening with the school the app is fantastic 👍 ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2019-12-04, version 2.17.0* I find this app helpful, only thing I would add is a letterbank so any ‘lost’ letters are always on here ☺️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New Lubbesthorpe primary school *2024-09-19, version 2.27.0* This school is so bad the first time I went to the school It’s not as good as you think the teachers are so rude and the school is sexism to boy ### 1/5 — Not good *2023-10-20, version 2.27.0* I have to keep removing the app and re-adding. All of a sudden it just stops displaying everything which is so annoying. My phone is always up to date so I have no idea why this happens. ### 1/5 — Gravely concerning *2022-06-28, version 2.25.3* My daughters school has recently switched to uses lung this app and I am deeply concerned. 1. There does not seem to be any form of Authentication on adding a school to my group. This means that anyone can see any school. 2. There is no restriction on the type of content - so anyone can find activities, times and names of children 3. Subscriptions to calendars mean I can receive news and updates direct to my phone - for any school in Jotter, not just my daughters. How can this app be approved for use in an educational environment? ### 1/5 — Useful *2020-10-24, version 2.23.0* It won’t let me on my work ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2020-10-04, version 2.23.0* This app should be a lot better than it is. It is meant to auto-refresh when you open the app but it regularly fails to do so, meaning you have to log off / logon or uninstall / reinstall to refresh its contents. ### 1/5 — Unable to update app *2020-09-17, version 2.23.0* The update isn’t working ### 1/5 — Poor user experience *2020-09-07, version 2.23.0* App works for a while and then stops working when trying to read newsletters, just sits with progress bar along the top moving. Only fix is to log out and then back in again. Basic functionality shouldn’t be hard to implement. ### 1/5 — Notices not displaying once opening app *2019-12-16, version 2.18.0* I am to see half of the message from the school via the notification, however when opening the notification to the full app it always states there are no notices to display. Quite frustrating ### 1/5 — No content on app *2019-09-04, version 2.16.1* Please can you help, there is now no information loading on my app for the school. I get notifications that there’s a message, but I can’t read it on the app. It just comes up there is no content in any of the sections. It was working & I synced the calendar up to my iPhone. All that info is still there but nothing else. Thanks ### 1/5 — Fundamentally flawed *2018-11-26, version 2.8.0* Still no ability to rotate PDF documents. The one thing this app does (apart from display short notes) is serve up PDF documents to read. The viewer doesn’t handle rotation, so on anything smaller than the largest tablet-sized phones the documents are going to be too small to read unless zoomed into and scrolled left and right to read each and every line. It’s not hard to provide this ability (without exception every other app I have that can open PDFs can do this), but this app can’t, and also can’t hand the PDFs off to a more capable app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — School Jotter *2024-03-02, version 2.27.0* If just useful when your child or kid be good or reminder for events like World Book Day and Punjabi day if useful just useful for any school your child go to think for making this app too! ### 5/5 — Stress free. *2021-10-01, version 2.25.1* Super happy with this app. Able to get notifications as soon as needed. We just had emails and other services from our old school and this one seems far more sufficient and very easy for the ones who sent very good with the new tech. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2021-09-14, version 2.25.1* Been on the App for 2 weeks and it’s been brilliant so far. ### 5/5 — Parent A&R *2020-11-05, version 2.24.0* Fantastic way of getting to know what is happening, find it very useful ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2020-10-21, version 2.23.0* Fab to keep up with school updates!! ### 5/5 — A good start *2020-10-15, version 2.23.0* Definitely an improvement on a mix of emails/WhatsApp and paper letters but it’s only as good as the input so the school needs to streamline properly ### 5/5 — Really useful *2020-09-22, version 2.23.0* The app is really useful as I find this way you do not miss anything as it’s all in one place. The information you need to know is literally at your fingertips! ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2020-03-20, version 2.19.0* Brilliant ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2020-03-17, version 2.19.0* Amazing and useful app ### 5/5 — Up To Date *2020-02-01, version 2.19.0* This app is brilliant, keeps you up to date with what’s going on at school. Saves on paper too eco friendly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
