Ratings and reviews

I feel the app could make improvements on accessibility and ease of use. When clicking on posts or attachments. It stays loading, and nothing ever pops up. It's frustrating to manage. Any important information gets emailed directly to me, but nothing ever shows on the app. When logged in, I can see my profile and who my child is. But when trying to access posts made from teachers, it shows a child that is not mine and therefore denies me access. I've used class dojo for years with no problems.

notifications and navigation are horrible. in addition to having to shift through multiple streams of data to find a message, especially when more than 1 child is registered on an account, lately, I get a push notification and when I click on it or open the app, that message from the notification does not exist! anywhere....until next time I get a notification. it's like the app is hiding the most recent notifications. needs a search tool, or a way to better organize with multiple kids.

I have multiple kids it's hard to sift through and find messages. You literally have to scroll and scroll and scroll to find what you're looking for. Also, it's hard to zoom in on things. I personally would prefer to just email. Email is so much easier you can organize it into folders mark important ones it automatically adds things to your calendar, it's in the order in which it's received and most importantly you can search for things! I can't stand parent square!
