I’ve tried to delete and re download app but still stays on the loading page. Useless. Now I can’t get school updates for my kids! ### 1/5 — So slow to load *2022-09-19, version 3.0.0* It updated and now is soo slow to load the school details etc! ### 2/5 — Huge issues *2022-09-18, version 3.0.0* This app use to work amazing! Now it will not load any notifications it just keeps refreshing the page. Haven't been able to check any alerts for a few days. ### 2/5 — App stuck on loading screen *2022-09-18, version 3.0.0* The app won’t load in after the new update it just sits on the loading x school page and doesn’t change ### 2/5 — Update has made it annoying *2022-09-18, version 3.0.0* Recent update to make it look more like the 21st century now means when I get ONE new notification it says I have 8. Logged my husband out of his and he can’t get back in so opted just to delete it… update = fail ### 1/5 — New update 3.0 *2022-09-16, version 3.0.0* New update is not working ...I have 3 schools to keep up with. The app is downloaded but when I add a school it just says loading .... ### 1/5 — New version is broken *2022-09-15, version 3.0.0* After the update, can no longer view the alerts which is one of the most crucial features. The app bugs out then relaunches back to the start ### 1/5 — V3.0.0 update v poor *2022-09-14, version 3.0.0* Worked fine until update; now hangs on splash screen! 🤮🤬 ### 1/5 — V 3.0.0 broke it *2022-09-14, version 3.0.0* Used this to check school notices. New update won’t even load the school. ### 1/5 — Update broke the app on my iPhone 13 Mini *2022-09-14, version 3.0.0* App no longer loads, latest update has broken it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2026-05-10, version 3.4.4* I have always had this App now all my kids are high school all of a sudden it won’t show up the kura they go to I have deleted so many times and download again n again just dam hoha grrrr ### 1/5 — Inconsistent *2026-01-18, version 3.4.2* Sometimes opens, sometimes doesn’t. Can’t access notifications ### 1/5 — No longer works *2025-11-25, version 3.4.0* Seems to have an issue with iOS 26.1. No longer loads. Which is a problem because I can’t get any updates from my kids school. ### 1/5 — Please Stop the Screen Rotation *2025-02-25, version 3.1.0* Nice app overall, but there is something that is really annoying me. Every time I open the app, it automatically rotates the screen to portrait mode, even if I enable rotation lock. (I use an iPad on landscape mode.) So every time I try to read the school notifications, I will have to tilt my head until my neck starts aching or lift the iPad up from the table to rotate it. But there is something else that is really weird. Very rarely, the app DOESN’T rotate the screen, and everything works perfectly fine. I think this may have been an attempt to fix the issue, but it apparently hasn’t been fixed on all devices yet. Please, I am begging you, developers of this app, please fix this simple (or maybe complexed) thing, it is REALLY annoying. Thank you so much. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-02-18, version 3.1.0* App only shows the title of the schools notice, it is not letting me see the rest of the information. I have the newest version and everything. Please fix ### 1/5 — Awful design, terrible functionality *2025-01-29, version 3.1.0* This app is a mess. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-01-04, version 3.1.0* Can’t even get the app to leave the ‘Welcome’ screen ### 1/5 — Loading circle hell *2024-09-21, version 3.1.0* So often I’ll try to open a notice and it’ll just be stuck on the ‘loading’ circle forever. I just have to keep closing and restarting the app lots of times and eventually the notice opens but it’s so frustrating. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2023-08-07, version 3.0.3* This app no longer works on iPhone 7. I now dont have access to school information as this is all they use. Please update your app to include all operating systems as it used to. ### 1/5 — Garbage app *2022-09-29, version 3.0.0* The app will hang on the splash screen if you have notifications disabled. No in app explanation, just left to the public to figure out. So incompetent, whatever schools pay for this is too much ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 👌 *2025-07-16, version 3.3.1* Mairehau high school on top ### 5/5 — School apps *2023-10-29, version 3.1.0* Easy communication love it ### 5/5 — HOLY CROSS WHAAAAT *2021-03-29, version 2.5.2* Enough said ### 5/5 — Best School App in New Zealand *2020-01-15, version 2.2.16* My sons School uses this to keep us up to date and it’s amazing ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-09-17, version 2.2.15* Got me places :) ### 5/5 — Shirley Boys High School 77 FikuFiku *2019-08-19, version 2.2.15* Eshgoooo this app is solid for news ayee.
