Keep up the good work!

Can’t view messages

I get a pop up notification that I have a message, but after opening the app, it tells me that I have no messages. This is a major issues if the school district is using it for communication with parents.

Best App for parents

This app has made so much easier for parents to stay updated and update the school about their child/Children.

Easy to use

The app is designed well and easy to navigate.

Not getting notifications

When logging into the app, everything is fine. However, I am not getting notifications because the app is making me login to view them. The whole point is to get a notification when something is sent out. I shouldn’t have to constantly login to see if anything was sent out from the school. I have deleted and reinstalled the app so I hope this helps. I have checked all settings to make sure everything is on as well. Not sure what’s causing this issue.

So far so good

It’s alright

Something’s the app won’t let me login even if I forcefully close it and when I try to go to their website’s, it doesn’t understand what I’m doing. Please fix this

Gave me access to someone else’s info & no easy way to reach out for help

Someone mistakenly used my email address, so now I have access to all of some kid’s data, and they want to know if (NOT MY PHONE NUMBER) is okay for non-emergency calls. I can’t change anything in the app, and there’s obviously more steps involved in trying to correct this problem than there should be or I would’ve done it already.

Great

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not user friendly

Poor usability, needs better defaults, needs 1/2 day option, needs arrives late option, and when you choose the student and full/multiple day, the date is blank. Terrible app!!

5 star🤩🤩

Very helpful, sends messages at the right time! Very organized. The best! 5 star🤩

Terrible

Cannot get into my account at all! I don’t receive emails for the MFA. Yes, I check my spam and my trash folders. Yes, I have reviewed my email account settings to ensure that no one is blocked from sending me messages. Super frustrating!

Busted!!

Lets me know if my kids tryin to skip! Keeps me up to date on all the things going on at the school. Easy to let the school know if your kid has to leave or come back to the school. Great app!!

Not enough options

There’s no option for if my kid is at school, but arrived late. The only options I have are “full day”, “early departure”, “leave & return”, or “multiple day”.

Worse app ever

This app is the worse every time going to use I can’t but try everything I can’t login ! Fix this !

Reporting and absence

The app will not let me report and absence

Great app

Very convenient app for reporting absent and receive other information.

Preferred communication source.

Top choice source, for prompt & reliable information regarding kids school & schoolboard.

Prompt, informative and easily accessible

All the information needed for all my kids schools is easily accessible, prompt and informative. Doesn’t leave much to question or worry about

Embarrassing

Lots of bugs, unreliable absence messaging, 1980s design
