Ratings and reviews

An overall 2* rating for the App says it all really. I can't even get onto it (or via their website) as the password management processes are shockingly bad, starting with the basics of letting you temporarily see what you are writing. If you can log on, the layout is not great and the functionality (e.g. booking numerous time slots for parent's evenings, etc) if horrible. You can't really swap between your children, and I can't delete or archive their old schools.

1 star is too generous... I'm one of the few people not having issues with the password being saved (but I have biometric login turned on for my device). That being said, I can login using the app but not using a browser despite using the same password. My main frustrations relate to the app not being user (or anybody) friendly. I cannot pay for items in my basket, receipts/invoices aren't generated properly, card details aren't saved, and everything is incredibly difficult to find and access.

Dismal experience. Can't pre-book kids meals for the first week back as it won't add selections to the basket. Notifications stop for Messages randomly. Login is a nightmare and can't go out of the app without having to sign back in and then find where you were before. Have to use the menu only to access stuff, can't go from home screen. Very long winded and not easy to find stuff. very frustrating the back button not working. It needs to be streamlined and more straightforward plus working.
