Where is my school
Functionally Flawed
Launch app to check menus, and every time you come to a home page where you must tap on "View Menus".
Then, even though I've selected my favorite school, it takes me to a listing of all schools, so I must tap on "My Schools" to shorten the list, and then on my school.
Then, despite my child only eating school lunch, it always shows me the breakfast menu, and I must tap on "Lunch".
For an app whose nearly sole purpose is menus, I must tap four times each morning to see what I want. Instead, I've book marked the webpage URL which always shows me the right information immediately.
Teach your app to remember what I click on each day, and show me that, and you'll get five stars. Until then I truly won't use the app, because its usability is so poor.
Okay but needs improvement
What's to like:
- Pictures of the food, when it shows the actual items.
- Easily click through to nutritional information.
- Larger print than the school's old Web-based menus.
What's to dislike:
- It takes four clicks to view lunch. Open app, click on splash screen, click on "My Schools," click on the school name, click on lunch. At a minimum, it should open first to "My Schools." Even better, let us pick the school it should open on, and even better than that let us pick the meal it should open on (breakfast or lunch).
- Pictures are often stock photos, not the actual items. Some pictures are actually misleading. As an example, one dish was "pollos y papas," pictured as diced potatoes and chicken with shredded cheese and visible seasoning. The actual dish was French fries, a container of cheese dipping sauce, and a separate pile of chicken. The kids were excited by the picture but ended up disliking the actual meal.
- Needs a full-week view.
- No list of ingredients. Our school used to list ingredients, before it went to this app.
- You can submit feedback, both comments and a star rating, but the app does not appear to show the overall rating, and it definitely does not show other comments.
- When leaving feedback on an iPad, the keypad covers the text box.
