Ratings and reviews

While the app is very useful for communicating with your children's school and teachers, entering text is a nightmare. I had to send the same message to each of my children's teachers, so I copy/pasted with the intent of just changing the name per child. I was absolutely unable to move the cursor in the text entry field. It kept group selecting multiple words, and I was not able to edit the range of selection either. Miserable. I am using a Google Pixel 10 Pri Max with a screen protector.

Hey y'all, on Android, let's put the content of the teachers message in the notification. The generic message is not helpful at all. I know that the teacher sent an announcement, it would be nice if parents could get a preview without needing to jump into the app and wait for it to load. A digest of notifications would be nice as well.

As soon as you install the application, it disables text alerts (whether or not you want it to). And then notifications don't work on the app! All notification settings are enabled in Android, I reinstalled the app, and still no luck. TalkingPoints has next to no help resources online, and there is no way to contact them directly. You can send a message through their system and then wait. Furthermore, it's unclear whether text message alerts are re-enabled once the app is uninstalled.
