Ratings and reviews

It's fine most of the time, but it is frustrating that you have to scroll down multiple times because the app refreshes while you're already scrolling. Sometimes I can't seem to reply to user even when they had sent a group message - it sent the message to the staff instead. I like that I can easily message teachers and admin if needed, and I enjoy seeing pictures from the teachers.

As a teacher, this app worked wonderfully for me and my team last school year. However, this year, for whatever reason, is completely different! We don't receive push notifications for ANYTHING, but I get email notifications for everything and the invitation to join (even though I've already joined--I mean, I created the class!). It's very frustrating both for me as a teacher and for my students' families. I think we will have to switch to ClassDojo or something.
