No longer worth it

I want to start by saying I discovered TalkingPoints about a year and a half ago and instantly fell in love with it. It was perfect and every way I needed it to be. My parents did not need to download an app to receive my text messages. Also it translated massages back-and-forth and saved me so much time. And it was free for my school. As of October 19 to use the texting feature, my school would have to pay about 3500 possible. (I would be willing to pay individually for my share, but that is not possible with them) I am in a low income school and most of my parents are not going to download the app for one reason or another. So, I'm extremely disappointed that this fantastic app will no longer be usable for me and a lot of low income schools. This is going to affect my relationship with my families and the amount of time it will now take to individually message families and translate the messages

Canadian teachers not wanted

Very disappointed that Talkingpoints decided to get rid of the app for Canadian teachers. Loved using it but unfortunately can’t now!

Inconsistent

The app and site are not syncing and the app is constantly down when when the reports say it’s working.

Could be so great

In theory I love this app. But over half of the times I go to open it it says there are technical difficulties and it can’t open but to use the desktop version. Also for the 3rd time in 3 months of using it it has stopped sending me notifications that I received a message from a parent. So I have no idea. If it worked like it should, it would be great.
