Was fine for nearly 5 years, then a few months ago I changed to a new phone, it stopped sending me notifications when lunch money runs low. Ive checked the permissions etc on my apps settings and everything was off, I turned them on, it worked once, now doesn't (though permissions are still set to "allowed"). The app itself has no settings that I can find.

I'm sorry you're no longer receiving low balance reminders for lunch money. It's the school who control the sending of these notifications so please check with them that they still do this. If they do, logging out of the app and in again should resolve the issue.

Horrendous, constantly doesn't allow payments to be added to the basket, leaving you unable to book. Often doesn't go to basket, some times you can't make multiple payments in one and no way to download an invoice for your payments, which are sometimes needed for UC. This isn't an easy app for booking things and so much could be done to make it better.

There are some UX issues in this app that really need addressing: 1. When I'm making a school lunch purchase, it treats all the days I've chosen a meal as one block booking that needs to be paid in its entirety. It won't just book it and take the money off what is already held one day at a time. 2. I can't empty the basket, unless I log out and log back in. 3. If I try to highlight a word in a message the highlight is the exact same colour as the speech bubble, meaning it's invisible.

Thank you for your feedback. 1) When you confirm the booking the amount you need to pay will take into account the existing balance - please advise if this is not the case. 2) Swiping left will delete items in the basket. 3) We will bear this in mind for future updates.

What’s new

This update fixes an issue where some club names were being cut short on the make a booking screen. Thank you for using School Gateway!
