Ratings and reviews

This app is just decent. Especially compared to the iPhone. When viewing images that are posted in the messages section you can't see the images because they are too small to see. Making it mandatory to download the images. On the iPhone the images are big enough to read, so you don't have to. Also on the iPhone images can be swiped through when glancing at different pictures. This is not the case on Android. Please make the app as good as the iPhone. Still no update.

Links and buttons don't work on my Android. For example, one of the parent announcements had an email address that was blue indicating a link, but when I clicked on it, the only options it gave me were to share the announcement I clicked on via my email account, with no "to" field completed. I tried to copy and paste the parent's email address, and it didn't work. Similarly, there is a button to leave feedback and report bugs, but the same thing happened.

Great idea, implementation though can be improved. The app is not responsive, every time I launch the app it takes FOREVER for the content to load. I get it, I/O is tricky to implement. But please invest more engineers in figuring out how to sync data so that a user doesn't have to sit and stare at the apps home screen for minutes before content loads. Performance seems to be worse after I upgraded my device to Android Q (or 10, I'm still going to call it Q 😛)
