Very Busch league ### 3/5 — 3 stars *2026-08-24, version 3.1.0* agreeing with leah, i'm trying to log in to see my stuff before school starts and it keeps saying to check my connection for the past 3 days idk if like everyone's passwords got updated or something but it's lwk weird can yall fix it? ### 2/5 — Terrible Interface *2026-08-20, version 3.1.0* It’s hard to imagine that such a hideously designed interface could get approved by any software vendor. The design is clunky and awkward, and far too blocky. It’s like someone took an 80s “futuristic” design and tried to apply it to a modern application. I highly recommend hiring a UX expert whose visual aesthetic isn’t “Tron” meets “Hackers” ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-19, version 3.1.0* Hahahaha ### 2/5 — Constant Network Error *2026-08-19, version 3.1.0* Able to log in on a laptop, but the phone app is constantly glitchy. ### 4/5 — It’s good *2026-08-18, version 3.1.0* When I try to login on the app I can’t see the same things that I can see when I login on safari. It doesn’t look even the same. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2026-08-18, version 3.1.0* This app stopped letting me log in so I have to use the desktop version. ### 1/5 — App not working *2026-08-18, version 3.1.0* Cannot log into app but can log into account via the web. Please fix your app. ### 3/5 — Functionality *2026-08-17, version 3.1.0* does what's needed but doesn't work at all with vpn on ### 1/5 — Annoying and broken *2026-08-16, version 3.1.0* Website works better than the app so what’s even the point of the app? ### 1/5 — App is poor *2026-08-15, version 3.1.0* The school district is all in on this program. However logging on through chrome and safari works fine. But the app is awful and unable to log In. Very frustrating! ### 1/5 — It doesnt work *2026-08-14, version 3.1.0* It’s a buggy mess and school’s about to start for the year. How do you expect people to go to school when it’s run by people who arn’t giving students an offline schedule? ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-14, version 3.1.0* Tried to sign in with the app, said there was a ‘network issue’ and didn’t work even though it worked perfectly fine on the website. Please fix your app ### 1/5 — im sad *2026-08-14, version 3.1.0* skyward on the app sucks, cant see grad requirements cant see schedule with yellow highlights, cant see test scores. ### 2/5 — Keep getting error *2026-08-12, version 3.1.0* Normally, I really like the mobile app and would give it five stars. But the last couple days, possibly since the update earlier in the month, the app isn’t letting me login at all. It keeps telling me that the username password combination is not found even though it’s the same one I use to log into through the computer and I get in just fine. ### 1/5 — This app is garbage *2026-08-12, version 3.1.0* It is impossible to see your login stuff when using the app. Did anyone QC this things before they released it? ### 1/5 — Can’t even login *2026-08-12, version 3.1.0* It won’t even allow me to login. ### 1/5 — Never Works *2026-08-11, version 3.1.0* Online access works perfectly fine. This app does not work. I would think for all the money we pay our schools they could find a better app to function. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-28, version 3.1.0* This app worked okay last school year but sometime between May and now you guys did some updates that totally ruined this app. It’s a pain in the rear to input my times for clocking in because the way we enter the actual time (ex 06:25AM) is so glitchy and you have to input the numbers like 3-4 times before it stays that way. Also, the app does not let me add a transaction to edit or add my second part of my shift. It freezes up & doesn’t work. And now that I tried to log in on a computer instead, at first it didn’t want to find my district but my account now says it is locked. Seriously if it was fine before why the hell did you do an “update” that just broke the system. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Completely unusable now for entering my timesheets for work, thanks for nothing! ### 1/5 — Did you even BETA the app?!? *2026-08-28, version 3.2.0* What did you do to the app⁉️How did it get botched this hard‼️ The new version is anything but user friendly & it’s lights years away from intuitive🤯 Change can be soooooo AWESOME & upgrades are great but this app is now the king of clunkers. Using a paper filing system would be more efficient than this. I’m so grateful my kids are graduating and this is the last year we will be forced to utilize it. BTW - I will be excusing every single one of my children’s absences regardless of the reasoning because this app makes it impossible to do so efficiently & I must bother the attendance office by calling into the school to which it’s a nightmare to navigate the app so I’m just calling into excuse absolutely everything. 🤔 💭 SERIOUSLY - DID YOU EVEN BETA THIS WITH REAL HUMANS; LIVING BREATHING FACULTY AND STAFF, STUDENTS, PARENTS… ANYONE⁉️ …LITERALLY ANYONE THAT ACTUALLY HAS TO USE IT ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS ⁉️⁉️⁉️ ### 1/5 — SOOOOOO OUTDATED *2026-08-27, version 3.2.0* Get with the times and try harder. Why would you not even give the option to message your student’s teacher? On the teachers end it equally sucks. You should be able to do everything from grades to communication in one solo app. ### 1/5 — I HATE THIS APP *2026-08-27, version 3.2.0* I hate SKYWARD go home ### 1/5 — S *2026-08-25, version 3.1.0* Not working at all ,not even able let me choose to log in ### 1/5 — it’s confusing?. *2026-08-25, version 3.1.0* I dont know how to get in to my school and other stuff. And it’s so confusing ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2026-08-24, version 3.1.0* Forces password changes often and then doesn’t recognize new password on app (but does on web version so I know its correct pw). Updated app and still doesn’t recognize new pw. This happens more often than not. Also uses 4 digit PIN to log in but that really does nothing since next page requires full pw anyway (& doesn’t work with new or old pw). Its been this bad for YEARS. ### 1/5 — This is horrid *2026-08-23, version 3.1.0* This is one of the worst things that have happened to man kind ### 1/5 — SOOOOO FRUSTRATING *2026-08-20, version 3.1.0* This app used to work great. Now, I can no longer login through the app. It tells me that my login and password are incorrect, however, I can login on my desktop browser with the exact same login and password. I tried to find a customer support email address and there is absolutely nothing on the website or anyway that you can contact Skyward at all. ### 1/5 — Not working at all *2026-08-20, version 3.1.0* I’m not surprised the rating is so poor. The only things you can do with this app are download it and choose your district, that’s it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Skyward is not bad *2026-08-19, version 3.1.0* Ok guys this app may not work properly but this app is awesome because is there another app that can do this so easily and bro if you can’t see your grades thats a you problem this app is good and I suggest this app. Also this app has made my life at school a lot easier. All that bad stuff don’t listen to that it’s a grate app that’s free so if it doesn’t work well your not paying for it so chill. ### 5/5 — uhhhh *2026-08-18, version 3.1.0* this is a goated app ### 5/5 — :) *2026-08-02, version 3.0.4* Works great, used it for years and never had any problems. ### 5/5 — works well *2026-07-22, version 3.0.4* the login is a little complicated when you first see it but i figured it out in like 5 minutes. its easy access. and also everyone saying they couldn’t login is weird because i was able to and all of my friends that i helped were able to. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2026-07-07, version 3.0.1* So good at seeing what I need to improve ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-06-28, version 3.0.0* The app works when seeing our schedule in school. ### 5/5 — Reliable *2026-06-12, version 2.10.0* Use on a regular basis and works great for what I need! ### 5/5 — GET IT *2026-04-14, version 2.10.0* Very very very good help with grade help yayayaya ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-03-31, version 2.10.0* So I love because you can check what he/she got like grade’s you can even check what is like pJ day. ### 5/5 — Great for school! *2026-03-12, version 2.10.0* I use it daily, in school and out of school! I love how you can see the class average to tell if you actually were on the good half of the scores! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
