Ratings and reviews

Hate the features of this app. My childrens' school is trying to use this for more things and it is horrible. It logs you out all the time, for security. My phone handles my security settings and message previews. But, every time there is a message from the school I have to log in (no password integration) and click a tedious amount of screens. "Back" routing and menus are poorly designed. I wish the school had chosen something else. Having more than one child on it is awful.

I want to send two small but significant improvement requests. I just contacted you online but the email response makes it sounds like you will ignore my message as I'm a parent and you assume the can give me help? Disappointing. In a nutshell, App needs ability to show the NEXT day. The calendar also needs to show the TEACHER name. You can make space for the teacher name by NOT showing the keystage and the year group. Adding these two features would improve the usefulness of the App. Thanks!

This app is awful. Badly designed, functions poorly and the admin side of things must be the same because I'm sure our school has no idea how to use it properly. Needs heavy investment into the UI/UX side of things - at the moment it looks very much like an application designed by developers. Non-intuitive, clunky interfaces with bad visual hierarchy.
