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.

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.

Since downloading the app I have successfully gotten it to open ONCE. I get notifications that teachers have posted something, but the app won't open to let me see it! I have uninstalled and reinstalled, no change. Edit: Here's some irony. I managed to get back into the app one more time and found an app developer had messaged me in-app for more info. I sent my device details and connections and sent them... and I have no way to follow up for solutions...because the app won't load.
