### 1/5 — Always Crashes!

*2025-06-07*

I selected a school, then it briefly shows a list on news items and crashes. It always does this.

### 1/5 — Basic non secure application

*2020-02-29*

So I can add any school I want and see the photos published of children. Doesn’t seem like a secure and protected application to use. Calendars are open to see all school trips and events and where your child will be.  Surely this should be site protected so you can only have access to a school you are at parent at.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2019-11-13*

The app is really simple to use; all you do is type in your school name then it comes up with all the school events as well as newsletters. All these events can be saved to calendar (at least on Apple)!

### 1/5 — Poorly put together.

*2019-09-06*

It’s a great concept but not very practical.  My wife has vision problems, and on the IPhone there is no ability to zoom in on the text and no
ability to make the text bigger.  Put in an accessibility option.

### 1/5 — Not very useful

*2019-06-19*

I’ve tried everything the school website has explained the steps. It will not find the school.I deleted the app and reinstalled it. I allowed my location etc. It refuses to search for the school. All it says is ‘Sorry school not found.’ Now I’ll have to email the school for the information I require.Useless!!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-11-04*

The app doesn’t work & neither does your website!

### 5/5 — Useful

*2018-10-01*

The app works and it is useful as I could see when is INset days ,opening days and it is very helpful .

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-08-17*

Completely dead.

### 1/5 — Update broke it

*2016-07-08*

Updated this morning now app won't open just returns to home screen whenever I try

### 1/5 — No longer working!

*2015-10-28*

I used this for 3 years, recommended it to loads of people. Now it doesn't work. Tried uninstalling etc, but still nothing. Very disappointing!
