When I have the stay logged in button on it doesn’t keep me actually logged in. Other then that, it’s pretty good and gives me notifications on my assignments. ### 1/5 — bad app 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 *2025-01-09, version 7.8* it didn’t even let me sign in, and i know im putting the right password, like how is it gonna try to say that im not putting in the right pass..ALL OF MY PASSWORDS ARE THE SAME ?! this is js a bad app i js wanted to look at my grades:( this app can’t even do the one thing it was made to do 😿 ### 1/5 — No possible URL *2024-12-18, version 7.8* I tried most urL but doesn’t work ### 1/5 — i hate school *2024-10-07* i just don’t like school ### 2/5 — Useless *2024-08-26, version 7.8* When I try to log in to my SchoolTool account, it says that I do not have permission to log in and that I need to contact my school district. My district has been unable to completely solve this problem so far and many students across the district aren’t able to access their accounts because of this. ### 1/5 — Not demure *2024-08-23, version 7.8* This app is as bad is blocking cool math games on school chromebook's. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-06-25, version 7.8* App is terrible ### 2/5 — Poor customer service *2024-06-24, version 7.8* App kicks you out and has no option to stay logged in. They don’t accept any customer support questions and send you to your school which can only answer login questions and cannot make changes to the app. So the company is happy to collect sales revenue with no support options for parents. It’s intentional and shameful. Let’s get a product that’s offered by a company who will stand by it. ### 3/5 — Ok but inconsistent be website *2024-03-25, version 7.8* It’s ok. Seems to function ok but the data displayed in the app isn’t constant with what the website shows. For example, some teachers enter m or mi to denote missing work. That shows in the grade column in the website but not in the app. Took months to figure out why non-communicative teachers said school tools was uptodate. ### 4/5 — Great for parents and students *2024-03-20, version 7.8* An amazing app to use for keeping track of grades, missing assignments, absences, tardies, and can even tell you what class your kid is in a when it starts and ends. There a little problem to it but it’s really easy, useful, helpful, and good for kids. I’m know what my grades are and what I have missing without even having to ask a teacher about it. You might have a little problems/struggles setting it up but once it’s all set up it’s amazing and then it’s super easy to use it. ### 1/5 — App is trash *2024-03-14, version 7.8* Trash. ### 1/5 — The app is horrible don’t get *2024-01-29, version 7.8* It appears to be that EVERY url doesn’t work and the “help” butt doesn’t even help ### 1/5 — So bad *2024-01-19, version 7.8* Don’t do it ### 1/5 — annoying *2024-01-12, version 7.8* this app gets me beat ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-10-05, version 7.8* The URL provided by the school the app keeps saying invalid can’t move passed that point even though the URL’ is correct because I clicked it myself and it took me straight to the school district site I’ve closed the app several times I only downloaded after a parent teacher conference wanting to keep up with my daughters grades and now reading the reviews clearly the app has been trash for the past 7 years and doesn’t work and people were having the same exact issue I will be uninstalling ### 3/5 — Barely works *2023-10-05, version 7.8* I can’t even check my grades or assignments on here, the website is a lot better. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-13, version 7.8* I can log in and that’s about it. Crashes every time I try to view anything. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2026-06-11, version 7.8* Can’t even log in because it says my URL is wrong when it’s not would not recommend ### 1/5 — Access code *2026-06-02, version 7.8* I am unable to find my schooltool access code ### 1/5 — Inaccurate grade information that induces anxiety *2026-02-09, version 7.8* The grades are almost always wrong. I would Opt out if I could figure it out. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — Inaccurate grade information that induces anxiety *2026-01-26* The grades are almost always wrong and inna irate. I would Opt out if I could figure it out. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — You have to re-log in EVERY TIME *2025-09-30, version 7.8* This is an inhibitor to resolve notifications or quickly obtain information. This app lacks intuitiveness and could use an overhaul. ### 1/5 — Terrible functionality *2025-09-15, version 7.8* According to the App Store, this app has had NO updates in 2 years; that does not keep up with schools’ ever changing technology or security. However, something changed at some point and now when I try to log in to the app, it gives me three - THREE - login screens before I can actually log in. I no longer get any notifications from the app, despite all of the app and phone settings being set up for same. We’re forced to use non-district tech to monitor our kids’ academic progress but it doesn’t even work correctly. Beyond frustrating, and a waste of the district’s money, which is a waste of taxpayer money. PLEASE FIX THIS. ### 1/5 — New login frustrating *2025-04-08, version 7.8* I have been using the app for years, but now all of a sudden I cannot log in from the app. Every time I want to open it I have to ok that it uses the browser to login, wait for it to open browser, login there with no option to keep me logged in anymore, and then wait for it to go back to the app. Half the time that glitches out and I have to start over. Now it takes forever just to check something quick. Yet somehow I still get notifications??? ### 1/5 — possibly the worst. *2025-04-08, version 7.8* One of the worst apps I have ever used. I despise this app. ### 1/5 — I hate this app *2025-03-26, version 7.8* Probably a good app but it means my parents can spy on my grades so I hate it with every bone in my body ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Okay *2025-07-14, version 7.8* I could log in. I’m not sure what these other reviews are talking about. ### 5/5 — Muy buena aplicación 100% exitosa *2025-03-08, version 7.8* Tu tu ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2023-10-18, version 7.8* You guys are using the wrong url. Don’t use the school page url. Go to your school page and find the school tool section and copy the link from there. ### 5/5 — helpful *2023-08-11, version 7.8* easy to use, light work no reaction ### 5/5 — Much Improved *2022-08-29, version 7.7* Initially, this app was the opposite of a tool, but with the recent improvements, a must for students using Schooltool. Previously, the app would not update grades until quarterly grades were entered, but now it updates grades instaneously. It is now just as good, if not better than the online tool, especially when using your mobile phone. ### 5/5 — Hi *2022-06-30, version 7.6* Balls ### 5/5 — I like it *2021-05-17, version 7.0.3* keep up the great work! the app is working wonders. i love the new updates ### 5/5 — A student *2020-08-31, version 6.0.2* i love school tool! it allows me to very easily see how i’m doing in school and see my schedule days before it comes in the mail ### 5/5 — Great app for getting updates on my children *2019-10-22, version 6.0.2* Love being able to see grades and attendance for my children. ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2019-10-09, version 5.1.21* This is much easier to use than the online website --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
