Screener

Why I don’t see the screener when I click the plus sign. What do I need to do to get the updated smart teach.

Disappointing

This app could be great but the developers have ignored it for 3 months. It has so many bugs and performance issues it isn’t worth using at the moment.

Frustrated

I wanted to love this app so much. After switching from Brightwheel, I was so excited to streamline everything. It’s just been one technical glitch after another. My teachers are frustrated, parents are frustrated, I’m frustrated. Any technical issues are met with a request to submit a tech ticket and it takes weeks to resolve, or they tell me to delete and reinstall the program. I can’t do that every single day! Please don’t market this product until it’s ready and free of the amount of bugs it still has. We paid A LOT of money for this product and I honestly wish we hadn’t switched.
