Every single message sent from the school is sent as an attachment. But when you click on any of the attachments it just says " couldn't download items". So it's absolutely pointless using this app. Update:Because this app tries to store downloaded files (like pdf files) within a folder created by the app itself (and not within an android shared folder) it breaches android 11's security measures and the download never completes as the app isn't allowed access.

Hi Simon, sorry to hear about the issues you've been experiencing - if you email support@eschools.co.uk our support team will be able to assist. Please note if the attachments are in the .doc or .docx format, not all phones can read these formats by default so you may to need to download an app that can open them.

Added July 2019: deleted and redownloaded (as requested again never had that from any app but this) seems faster but now lost ability to open attachments! something about not available offline, modify your setting but under settings there's nothing related. Awful app still! original review: Never notifies you of messages. I even set phone power save mode to ignore app and set it as a priority notification. Still epic fail. Now tokens missing means not working at all...

Hi Sarah, Apologies for the issues you've experienced with the app. We've released a new update which should have addressed all the issues you experienced.

It works, but has so little functionality as to be pointless. Can't see previous homework or messages. Can't see any of the chats or class members. Really can't see the point of this app. Hoped it would save having to go to the website. Of the 4 options available (calendar, homework, contact school, website) the calendar is empty, contact school (i know the contract details, thanks), website doesn't work (plain text not allowed). Finally, difficult to find school to login (too many options).
