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!

Pretty useless overall. The notifications would not work so I had to go through a whole rigmarole of turning them on and off in the phone settings, clearing the cache and restarting my phone numerous times as there are no settings within the app. The calendar is also next to useless as you can only scroll through 1 day at a time. Generally not very user friendly at all.
