Needs Bug Fixes

I constantly have to reinstall the app. I’ll get pop up notifications that there have been updates or messages from the teacher, but when I open the app it is stuck and isn’t showing anything. After reinstalling, the issue is fixed, but you should not need to constantly reinstall an app at least once or twice a week in order to utilize it, especially when it’s an app that is supposed to keep you updated on your child while they are in school.

Bad

After a couple days, you have to delete the app and re-download it so that you can read messages. Otherwise you’ll be notified but receive a blank screen.

Confusing

If you switch your kid from one place to another, good luck. And tech support is useless. Sad.

Doesn’t work

I receive the emails that there are updates all the time, but when I access the app there is nothing visible to see. The app has been blank since I’ve logged on

Messages do not work

I’ve had to to delete and re download this app like to get the messages to actually come through
As the messaging is the main thing ppl use it for this is obviously not good
