Poor

One of my children has just started her reception year and this is the app the school uses for payments ect however I have no where to create an account it just keeps asking me to login and when I try too of course it says my credentials arenโ€™t on the system

Not user friendly

Update failure and redirect me to downland a scam app

Ok but needs improvement

Overall the app is very useful and quick to use. However, when reviewing the weeks bookings (trips, after school clubs, movie nights) not all bookings come up or it comes up blank. If you make a booking in advance the only way you can double check after the fact is by looking in your emails for the confirmation as thereโ€™s no set place in the app to see. It would be so much easier to just be able to completely and reliably click on โ€œmy bookingsโ€ and see per day what has been booked.

Absolutely terrible

Why any school would chose to use this app/service is beyond me! Do they not read reviews beforehand? It is the WORST app Iโ€™ve ever encountered in my life. It never works, the notifications donโ€™t work, it logs you out almost daily and you canโ€™t log back in again because the โ€˜credentials do not existโ€™. Then to get that rectified you have to spend time trying to call the school office, explain whatโ€™s happened, then they have to do something there end and you have to wait for an email before you can log in again through a link they send you. Honestly itโ€™s the biggest waste of time ever. I am currently locked out again, whilst the debt is going up for school activities because I canโ€™t actually pay for them! Many of us parents nearly missed a trip the other day because there wasnโ€™t a single notification about it and to find out any information you had to click through every option on the app. So many parents are having the same problem. Schools need to stay clear, itโ€™s a waste of time and I imagine very costly for a service they simply canโ€™t deliver. Even if it worked as it should do, it isnโ€™t user friendly and certainly not something grandparents or older caregivers would manage easily.

Awful

Kicks us out every few days and then it wonโ€™t let us update or log in. Completely not fit for purpose.
