### 1/5 — .

*2026-07-16*

Story park glitches a lot and creates confusion. As an educator i would like if survey could be done and changes should be made to storypark to make it easy for educators . Thanx.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-19*

New update that happened this morning was great for about an hour and now it will not work. None of the options are available to log routines. Very disappointing

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for letting us know. Could you please reach out to our support team so we can troubleshoot this for you? hello@storypark.com

### 3/5 — App instable and crashing, data loss

*2026-04-22*

I’ve been experiencing some issues with the app. It frequently crashes and logs me out unexpectedly. At times, it doesn’t post my content and instead saves it as a draft. In some cases, it has deleted reports I’ve written, requiring me to redo the work. I would appreciate any assistance in resolving these issues.

**Developer response:** Hi There, thanks for letting us know. So we can troubleshoot this with you, would you mind please coming through to support at hello@storypark.com? Thanks.

### 2/5 — Freezes and lose all your work

*2026-04-09, version 1.47.0*

Storypark is a great application for any teachers wanting to keep track of learning stories etc. However one major issue story park has is that if you are writing a lovely story it will freeze causing you to have to close the app and reopen it losing all of your work. Considering how much centres have to pay to use this application, I expect Storypark to fix this.

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-03-22, version 1.43.1*

Too many glitches

### 2/5 — Can’t delete messages

*2025-08-25*

Even if you move centres, all messages stay in messages, even years later.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out. Feel free to come through to our support team so we can get this sorted for you. hello@storypark.com

### 1/5 — Won’t let me sign in

*2025-05-09, version 1.19.0*

Since updating the app won’t sign me in!  Put in email address and correct password but it keeps looking like it’s opening then going back to the email screen.  Have tried more than 10 times, deleted and readded the app but no joy.

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2025-04-18*

The app is always glitchy, quite often the uploads fail. For the quality of the overall program the app is a real let down.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out. Feel free to reach out to our team so that we can troubleshoot this with you. hello@storypark.com

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-03-23*

This app doesn’t work properly can’t add any note

**Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind coming through the support team so we can look at this for you? hello@storypark.com

### 5/5 — Story park

*2025-02-17, version 1.17.12*
