Ratings and reviews

For a couple of years or so the application was flawless and very efficient. But suddenly one day it started asking for verificarion code which i have never come across and app is not excepting the usual credentials as well. I did forgot passsword and reinstalled the app but didnt help. The result is I am not able to track the notifications properly which is kind of frustrating ..

My phone does not show alerts for notifications anymore. I have tried clearing the cache, deleting the app storage as well as reinstalling the app. Update: Latest release on 12 Oct 2023 has fixed the above issue. But a new issue came up, the app gives an error "Permission denied.please go in App permissions and enable all permissions". Even after granting all permissions, it gives the same error. After reinstalling the app, it works the first time and then again starts giving the same error.

The app is good for my children. It actually is nice it usually has problems when there is a network issue from the school. Example, It shows network issue even though it's perfect the day it had a network issue my daughter said that it was same with some of the smart boards in the school. Basically it isn't a weird app.
