Shamefully bad

The developers ought to be strung up. This feels like it was designed in 1997. Unreliable. Unintuitive. Just appalling. Now it’s thrown me out and won’t send a password reset email.

Sims parent

Totally useless app. Has been off now for 3 weeks and all you get is a message saying developer is aware of the issue. Would give zero stars if possible

Absolutely dreadful app

Never before have I been moved to review an app but this one is so painful to use. Happily I have been oblivious to its existence for 5 years and my daughter is now in 6th form so hopefully my dealings with it will be shortlived.

Worst app I have ever had on my phone

This unbelievably poorly maintained app is just beyond belief. The students could design & maintain a better one. If only there a zero star option to truly reflect the quality of this app.
