### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-08-12, version 25.12.12*

Tried creating a new account and it keeps saying it timed out when I’m almost done registering.

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2025-09-17, version 22.11.01*

The school already paid for the service and I had to pay again

### 1/5 — Worthless!

*2025-09-05, version 22.11.01*

It doesn’t work like it’s supposed to. I’ve tried for 30 minutes to setup an alternate pickup and it just keeps giving me an input error.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-08-20, version 22.11.01*

What a piece of trash. Possibly the worst app in the history of apps.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2024-08-29, version 22.11.01*

I give it one star because I couldn’t give it zero. It doesn’t work half the time and the app is in cahoots with schools to charge you money for a totally broken app.

### 1/5 — Logs you out multiple times a day and doesn't save login

*2023-09-15, version 22.11.01*

When you are trying to check where your student is, need to quickly change their pickup, or are about to head to the school and need the app open, you want to be able to quickly login. This app does the opposite of that. It logs you out constantly and there is no "Face ID" option, nor is it set up where your phone can save your password to quickly enter or use shortcuts for entering your email address. Almost EVERY time I want to check on a child I have to log-in and enter everything manually. Does it let me in? Yes. Is it convenient, fast,  or stress-reducing? Definitely not. The developers need to do some work to make this an app that more aligns with todays technology.

### 1/5 — Not great with design flow

*2022-11-02, version 22.11.01*

The dismissal override should be a simple button , but then you have to go to some place , then edit , then overide etc.

The have a simple overide in home menu but you have to pay for it 😝

### 1/5 — La peor aplicación que he pagado

*2022-09-07, version 21.12.04*

Simplemente es un scam, no funciona, me
Cobraron $1.99 para las mismas funciones de la app gratis… ya que el proceso de dismissal de la escuela de los hijos es una pesadilla, pensé que podía ayudar pero de hecho no te permite llamar a los niños por medio de la aplicación, solo te da un status que no garantiza que tu hijo ya viene en camino… terrible!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-08-16, version 21.12.04*

Does not work

### 1/5 — What’s the purpose

*2021-12-07, version 21.12.04*

You can’t notified them that you’re at the pickup location. So what’s the purpose of this app?? It’s useless.
