Ratings and reviews

I really want to like this app and I hope it improves. It's a really great idea. Right now though it only shows 1 of my 3 kids, clicking on focus just sits on a loading screen, theres no clear contact info for help and it's just generally not user friendly. I think the only thing I've clicked on that works is the lunch menu. I really hope it gets some updates and improves (like it has in the past) because this could be a really great tool. For now I'll stick to the websites.

This app is not even remotely optimized for a cell phone. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and I can't even see my student's names when opening the attendance log on focus. It's just a clone of the desktop version of focus. Even opening focus in a separate window via the UI is provides the same user experience. Poorly designed.

Why develop an app that is by far crappie and NOT user friendly. First, trying to locate or navigate your way, better off closing your eyes and imagining! Finally found what I needed after 20 minutes of hunting; placing the address was a nightmare, then using the drop down menu keeps defaulting to Andrew Jackson. Come on man!!! Either fix it or remove it from Google. We're here because we are trying to find better ways of communication but damn!
