Ratings and reviews

App had been working reasonably well until I tried to check my daughter's account for the new school year. When i log in, I get a mandatory update notification, but the update link errors out. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling a number of times, but that hasn't resolved the issue. The website works somewhat, but is slow and clunky. P.S. My son graduated with a small balance left. Apparently, there's no option to move that to my daughter's account or get a refund. This needs to be fixed.

The app makes me log in with my password every time, and then asks if I want to enable fingerprints, every time. Nuisance. Can't just pull up a list of recent meals on screen... Has to generate a PDF report and email it to me. The meal restrictions feature seems like a good idea but is unusable. I get a list of thousands of items that I have to scroll through on my phone. And I don't see a way to access this on a computer where it would be a little more convenient.

Does not translate well to mobile despite being a mobile app. Very hard to check out via the app. Often go to my computer to check out. Boxes pop up and don't size to the screen so it's hard to find the x or close button. Always tell it to remember me and enable fingerprint, which it then says is successful. Never works! I hate this app.
