Ratings and reviews

1 star because I can't put it lower. All school year this app has not worked properly for a majority of it. It crashes, kicks you out, won't load at all, won't upload assessments. The latest for me is that it just gives me the spinning wheel. Or it "acts normal" until I go to do anything then the screen just constantly flashes. I've had assessments "uploading" since mid December. I can't use it, and I NEED to use it for my class

So glitchy it's unusable. My app will show 5 new messages but when I open it, it will show 3 new messages. Of those 3, two are actually already "read" but won't lose their "unread" status. Also, I didn't get any notification about a message from a family about lunch. When I logged in on my computer after lunch, I saw a message that didn't appear on my phone. Can't depend on this.

I give this app three stars . I think it's a new version. I miss having the feature to see how much documentation you're entering, the objectives, how many you already have, and the other features the older version had. I do love how easy and quickly it uploads the documentation for us educators. I am certain it is work in progress , and I do recommend downloading the app. It is very helpful for educators.Thank you
