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.

Very slow. Need major fixing up! Every time I use the app it either crashes or just goes so slow that I don't even bother. Sometimes I don't get to read the notifications because it's so slow. Also doesn't like this issue has ever been solved. Another thing I can't even edit my own information. If my kid's school didn't totally depend on this app as a form of communication, it would've been uninstalled months ago!

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.
