I had this app for less than 24 hours and I deleted it. I've been comfortable using the browser and texting (although I was unsubscribed from text alerts accidentally and it was difficult to get them back). I tried the app and it kept closing out due to an error. 1 time I'd open it and be able to see my schedule (assignment accepted for a future date). 10 minutes later I'd open it again and nothing would show on the schedule. I'm going back to the browser, and hopefully my texting alerts will

Hello, The Red Rover app has always worked well for me, until today. Now, it fills my whole Android phone screen up to the notifications area, and when I try to click on the three lines in the top left corner, nothing happens. I've included a screen shot. I cannot get out of the screen shown in my photo, to another area of the app. I've even done a force stop and reinstall of the app, but it didn't help. Thank you

Interesting feedback Amber - We went with showing the school here because for so many subs who work at a single district, using that "real estate" to show the district name would be less helpful. Thanks for your feedback!

App doesn't support bold text. I have bold text turned on for my phone and it makes the font elipsed. Everything is too big to fit on the screen. On your calendar, the number 14 for example becomes 1. Such a stupid and silly oversight that could easily be corrected by increasing the margins to accommodate for larger fonts or font styles.
