Ratings and reviews

I love that this exists, and I love the features it provides, but there are a few things I'd like to see improved. Not sure why I have to tap/gesture twice to exit the app. That really annoys me. When I use the app to sign in or out, I don't need to get a notification about it on the same device I just used. I wish I could swipe between photos instead of opening them one by one.

Overall has been great! But for some reason the past weeks I'm receiving notifications over an hour late! For example, the teachers would enter a potty break at 11am and I won't get a notification until around 1pm. My app is up to date so not sure what happened the last few weeks.

A recent update has fixed UI scaling issues, showing a response from the dev team. Kudos, app does what it needs to as I need it to. Some development to sorting for transaction history would be nice (long with other general qol expansions) so I can't say it's perfect. But it's great and seems to be growing still.
